This information may be collected for statistical analysis and technical improvements to the site. This government computer system uses software programs to create summary statistics, which may be used for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. In certain circumstances, however, we may take additional steps to identify you based on this information and we may share this information as permitted by law.
If You Send Us Personal Information
If you choose to provide us with personal information, such as by sending an email or by filling out a form and submitting it through our Web site, we will use that information to respond to your message or to fulfill the stated purpose of the communication. Remember that e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. If your communication is sensitive or includes personal information you may prefer to send it by postal mail instead.
We may share the information you give us with another government agency if your inquiry relates to that agency, and as permitted by law. In other limited circumstances, such as responses to requests from Congress and private individuals, we may be required by law to disclose information you submit. Before you submit personal information, such as on an online form, you may be given more specific guidance as to how your personal information may be used.
Electronically submitted information is maintained and destroyed according to the principles of the Mississippi Records Act and the records control schedules approved by the State Records Committee and in some cases may be covered by HIPAA or subject to the Mississippi Public Access to Records Act.
