Can I share personal information about my customers with third parties in Mississippi? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the context documents, you cannot share personal information about your customers with third parties in Mississippi without their express written permission ^[1.1]. Additionally, any personal information in the possession of a public agency cannot be released, publicized, or otherwise disclosed without the express written permission of every identified member, supporter, volunteer, or donor of the Section 501(c) entity as well as the Section 501(c) entity that received their membership, support, volunteer time, or donations ^[1.1].

There are exemptions to this rule, such as a lawful warrant for personal information issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or a lawful request for discovery of personal information in litigation if the requestor demonstrates a compelling need for the personal information by clear and convincing evidence and obtains a protective order barring disclosure of personal information to any person not directly involved in the litigation ^[1.1].

Therefore, before sharing personal information about your customers with third parties in Mississippi, you must obtain their express written permission.
