Privacy Policy

Mississippi Safety Services Effective Date: January 25, 2026

Mississippi Safety Services, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “MSS”) operates the website mssafety.com (the “Site”) and provides National Safety Council (NSC) Defensive Driving Courses and related traffic safety training services, including online registration, payment processing, and court-approved program completion reporting.

As the Mississippi provider of NSC Defensive Driving Courses, we deliver these courses to help drivers improve safety skills, qualify for insurance discounts, and, when court-referred, satisfy traffic citation requirements through point reduction or dismissal in approved Mississippi jurisdictions.

We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit the Site, register for a course, make a payment, or participate in our services. By using the Site or services, you consent to these practices.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Personal identifiers: full name, date of birth, address, email, phone number, Mississippi driver’s license number (or state/ID equivalent).
  • Course and citation details: ticket/citation number, court case information, referring court name and jurisdiction.
  • Payment details: credit/debit card information (processed securely by our third-party PCI-compliant payment processor; we do not store full card numbers).
  • Other voluntary information: any details submitted in forms, emails, or support requests.

Automatically Collected Information

  • Device/usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, access times.
  • Cookies and tracking: For site functionality, analytics, and performance (manage via browser settings).

From Third Parties

  • Limited verification or referral data from courts or NSC-related systems (if applicable).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Register you for and deliver the NSC Defensive Driving Course (online, classroom, or hybrid formats).
  • Process payments and issue receipts.
  • Verify participation, issue NSC Certificates of Completion, and maintain program records.
  • Fulfill court requirements by preparing and submitting completion reports to referring Mississippi courts (as required for court-approved programs under Mississippi law, e.g., to support ticket dismissal or point reduction).
  • Communicate about your course, certificates, or support needs.
  • Improve services, prevent fraud, ensure compliance, and meet legal obligations.
  • Provide internal analytics and business operations.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell personal information. Sharing is limited to:

  • Referring courts: For court-referred students, we share necessary completion details (typically name, driver’s license/ID number, date of birth, course completion date, pass/fail status, and certificate information) with the specific referring Mississippi court. This is required to comply with court orders, Mississippi statutes (e.g., § 63-9-17), and NSC program standards for traffic safety violator courses.
  • National Safety Council: Limited data may be shared as required for NSC program administration, certification, or quality assurance (per NSC provider guidelines; we do not share broadly).
  • Service providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., payment processors like [insert your processor], hosting, email, analytics) who are contractually bound to protect data and use it only for our services.
  • Legal compliance: If required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect rights/safety.
  • Business transfers: In mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales.

4. Payment Processing

Payments are handled securely by third-party PCI-compliant processors. We do not store sensitive card details. Review your processor’s privacy policy for their practices.

5. Data Security

We use reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no internet transmission or storage is fully secure.

6. Data Retention

We keep information as needed to provide services, issue certificates, fulfill court/NSC reporting obligations, comply with laws, and resolve issues. Court-related records may be retained longer to meet statutory or program requirements. Thereafter, data is securely deleted or anonymized.

7. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

  • Opt out of non-essential emails (e.g., marketing) via unsubscribe links or by contacting us.
  • Request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information (subject to exceptions like required court/NSC records).
  • Contact us to exercise rights or ask questions.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies for essential functions and analytics. Manage preferences in your browser. See our Cookie Preferences page for details.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

Links to third parties (e.g., payment gateways, NSC resources) are not under our control—review their policies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use means acceptance.
