Can I use third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California in Mississippi? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the context documents, it is unclear whether using third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California is allowed in Mississippi. However, there are several regulations in Mississippi related to the use of personal devices and the protection of personal information.

Personal Devices

Each agency in Mississippi must develop a policy that defines the use of personal devices (e.g. mobile devices, laptops, personal computers) on state systems. At minimum, this policy must require those devices to be subject to the same security requirements as state-owned devices. It is recommended that the agency personal device policy include information describing how personal devices may be monitored and agency expectations regarding user cooperation in the investigation of a security breach related to state information, where the personal device is a potential source for the breach. Additionally, it is recommended that the agency require the user to sign a letter or agreement acknowledging that they agree and understand the agency personal device policy [2.2].

Proprietary Information

To ensure the protection from disclosure, the Board in Mississippi may receive operational, technical, and financial information from commercial mobile radio service providers and 911 service providers. Some of this information may be of confidential nature, and the entities providing it may desire it from unnecessary disclosure to third parties. In order for information submitted to the Board to be deemed proprietary information, a producing party must place the term “CONFIDENTIAL” on the cover of any document containing proprietary information and clearly and specifically mark all proprietary information contained in the document. The Board shall treat all information submitted in accordance with this rule as proprietary information. If after review, however, the Board determines the submitted information fails to otherwise qualify under these rules as proprietary information, that information shall not be utilized by the Board, but instead, shall be returned immediately to the producing party [5.1].

Telephone Solicitation

All telephone solicitors must register with the commission before conducting any telephone solicitations in the State of Mississippi. Telephone solicitors may not make or cause to be made any telephone solicitation to any consumer in this state unless the telephone solicitor has purchased the “no-calls” database from the commission or the entity under contract with the commission. A telephone solicitor may not make or cause to be made any telephone solicitation to any consumer in this state who has given notice to the commission, or the entity under contract with the commission, of his or her objection to receiving telephone solicitations. The commission, or an entity under contract with the commission, shall establish and operate a “no-calls” database composed of a list of telephone numbers of consumers who have given notice of their objection to receiving telephone solicitations [3.2][3.3].

Based on the information provided, it is recommended that you consult with a legal expert in Mississippi to determine whether using third-party chat tools that collect personal information in California is allowed in Mississippi and what the requirements are.
