Can I use third-party HR tools that collect personal information in Mississippi? What are the requirements?
Mississippi HR Tools and Personal Information
In Mississippi, employers are required to protect the confidentiality and privacy of personal data, including health data, of their employees [1]. If you are using third-party HR tools that collect personal information, you must ensure that they comply with the state and federal laws on data privacy and security.
The Mississippi Department of Human Services provides a glossary of terms that includes definitions of acronyms related to economic assistance and fraud control activities [2]. However, this document does not provide specific information on the use of third-party HR tools.
The Mississippi Department of Revenue’s privacy policy states that they receive personal data from third-party sources, but they do not disclose the types of data or sources [3]. This document is not specific to HR tools.
The Health Insurance Marketplace’s privacy policy mentions the use of third-party web analytics tools to collect basic information about visits to their website [4]. However, this document is not specific to HR tools or employment-related data.
Therefore, it is important to review the terms and conditions of any third-party HR tools you plan to use to ensure they comply with state and federal laws on data privacy and security. You may also want to consult with legal counsel to ensure compliance.
