Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) details how MIS Technology Group L.L.C. (“MISTG,” “we,” or “us”) collects, shares, and utilizes information provided to it by customers and website visitors at www.mistg.com. You are not required to provide any Personal Information and/or Personal Data in order to use MISTG’s website. However, you may choose to contact us by completing the form provided on the ‘Contact Us’ page of this website, in which case we ask you to provide your name, email address, and telephone number. Data submitted to us will be used to fulfill the purposes for which they were collected.

Please note that for purposes of this Policy, MISTG’s definition of “Personal Information” follows the definition of “Personal Information” established by the State of Louisiana, found in La. R.S. 51:3073(4). It does not include information that purely consists of a name or information that is considered anonymous or de-identified. Any requested or submitted information about you that you choose to share with MISTG, but which does not qualify as Personal Information, will be referred to as “Personal Data” herein.

By visiting this site, you are accepting the practices described in this Policy, which was last updated on February 23, 2025.

Information That You Provide to Us

We collect Personal Information and/or Personal Data that you choose to provide to us. For example, we may request Personal Information and/or Personal Data when you contact us, register for newsletters, alerts, or other materials, fill out a form, respond to a survey, apply for an open career position, or otherwise communicate with us. Do not submit Personal Information and/or Personal Data on behalf of another individual, as doing so warrants to MISTG that you represent that individual and have his/her permission to submit the information to us.

The categories of Personal Information and/or Personal Data that we may collect from you depend on the purpose of the interaction, but may include:

  • Unique Identifiers that we may use to identify you individually, such as your name, telephone number, postal or email address, and government issued identification numbers, such as a social security number, passport number or military identification number.
  • Demographic Information, which may include sensitive information about protected classifications, such as your age, gender, race, sexual orientation, marital status, or veteran status.
  • Professional and Educational Information relating to your occupation, such as your current or previous employers, your job title, or other information about the organization with which you are affiliated. You might also provide information about your professional qualifications or your education, such as your bar information, notary information, degrees, fields of study, the institutions you’ve attended, languages, professional memberships, qualifications, and certifications.
  • Financial account information, such as information collected to facilitate online payment.
  • Location Information, such as your city, state, province, and country.
  • Audio and Visual Information, such as your voice and likeness as captured in photographs, video, or audio recordings if you are captured on our security footage at our offices, leave us a voicemail, or include a photograph on any software user accounts hosted by us.
  • Preferences on the communications.

You can generally visit our Website without providing Personal Information and/or Personal Data, though we may still collect Personal Information and/or Personal Data automatically as described in the next section.

Third Party Services and Content

This website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by MISTG. Clicking on such a link will direct you to a third-party website. This Privacy Policy only addresses activities on this website from our servers. Other sites, including those linked on this website, may maintain their own policies. We do not control those policies, and they are not addressed here. It is strongly recommended that you review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit, and we maintain no control nor assume any responsibility for the activities of other entities on other websites. MISTG is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of any linked websites that it does not control.

Social Media Interaction

Links and other features of our Website may permit you to initiate interactions between MISTG and social network platforms by unaffiliated companies. If you choose to “like” or share content or other information on a social media platform, that information may be publicly displayed and the company operating the platform may receive information about you and your use of our Website. Similarly, if you interact with us through social media, we may have access to information about you from the social media platform. Please note that if you mention MISTG, or comment about or in response to us, in your post on a social media platform, that platform may allow us to publish your post on our Website. We may also receive information about you when that information is accessible through another user’s social media. You should review the terms, policies, and settings of any social media platforms you use to learn more about their data practices and/or adjust your privacy settings.

Security Practices

MISTG takes reasonable measures to protect Personal Information and/or Personal Data from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, modification, or disclosure. Unfortunately, despite such measures, transmission of information via the internet and other online interactions is not completely secure. Therefore, MISTG cannot and does not guarantee the security of your Personal Information and/or Personal Data collected through the Website.

Email & SMS Communications

By volunteering your Personal Information and/or Personal Data, such as an email or phone number, you acknowledge that MISTG may now contact you via email or SMS for various purposes, which could include marketing and promotional content. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out of any SMS messages. If you do not wish to have your contact information used by us to promote our services, you can opt-out by sending us an email stating your request to privacy@MISTG.com. Please note that if you opt out of receiving marketing communications, MISTG may continue to send you non-marketing communications, such as communications about services, fraud/threat alerts, products, or other information that you explicitly request, or your business relationship with MISTG.

Notice to Website Visitors Located Outside of the United States

MISTG is based in the United States and is governed by U.S. law and Louisiana state law. We operate the Website and services from the U.S. and stores the information we collect domestically. Data protection laws in the U.S. are likely different than those of your country of residence. By submitting information through our Website, you acknowledge that your Personal Information and/or Personal Data will be processed in the U.S. according with this Policy.

Not Intended for Children

Our website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Information and/or Personal Data from visitors under the age of 13. If we learn that we have received Personal Information and/or Personal Data from someone under the age of 13, we will delete such information as required by law.

Retention of Personal Information and/or Personal Data

To determine the length of time we retain Personal Information and/or Personal Data, MISTG considers numerous factors, including any legal obligations or whether retention of Personal Information and/or Personal Data is needed to resolve disputes, make and defend legal claims, conduct audits, pursue legitimate business purposes, and/or enforce agreements. At the appropriate time, we will take reasonable steps to destroy your Personal Information and/or Personal Data, except where we need to retain such information to satisfy legal or professional obligations. However, for purposes related to security, potential public records requests for our public-entity clients, and to track technology developments and performance, MISTG does retain records from its ticketing systems for customer support purposes.

State Privacy Rights

Subject to the local laws of your individual state, you may have certain rights regarding Personal Information and/or Personal Data that we collected about you. State specific rights may be found on your state Attorney General’s website, which MISTG will endeavor to honor. If you have any questions about your privacy rights, please contact us at privacy@MISTG.com and please allow a minimum of 30 days for a response.
