What Happens to Your Personal Information When You Use ms.gov to Look Up Carroll Montgomery Regional

According to ms.gov, the site doesn't collect personal information just because you visited. Your personal details only come into play when you choose to provide them - filling out an online form, sending an email, registering for a MyMS account, entering a contest or promotion, or completing a transaction that requires a user ID and password. If you're just researching and not submitting anything, you're not handing over your name or other personal details.

Even if you only browse pages or download information, ms.gov automatically gathers certain technical details about your visit. This includes non-identifying data like a numeric IP address. The key distinction: this automatic information doesn't personally identify you. Reading about Carroll Montgomery Regional isn't the same as submitting a form with your name and contact info.

ms.gov discourages the use of web cookies on its websites. That said, the site may use temporary cookies when needed to complete a transaction. So if you're doing more than just reading - actually completing an online service transaction - you may encounter cookies as part of that process. Browsing is one thing; completing a transaction can involve extra behind-the-scenes tools.

While researching Carroll Montgomery Regional, you may click links that take you off ms.gov. The site links to many websites it doesn't control, maintain, or regulate - and it's not responsible for their content. Worth noting: because those external sites aren't created or maintained by ms.gov, they may not be accessible to people with disabilities or meet ms.gov accessibility standards.

ms.gov reserves the right to change its privacy policy as necessary. Before submitting personal details - through a form, account sign-up, or service transaction - take a moment to review the current policy. Don't rely on an older version of the rules.

1. Browse first, submit only if you need to - If you’re just gathering information, stick to reading and downloading; ms.gov says personal information is collected when you voluntarily provide it (like forms, email, MyMS registration, promotions, or transactions requiring a login).
2. Assume basic technical visit data is recorded - Even when you only browse, ms.gov says it automatically collects certain visit information (such as a numeric IP address) that does not identify you personally.
3. Expect temporary cookies during transactions - ms.gov discourages cookies, but says temporary cookies may be used when necessary to complete a transaction.
4. Know the limited sharing situations - Before you enter personal details, understand that ms.gov says it shares personally identifiable information only in specific cases like consent, providing a requested service, contractors working on its behalf, legal requirements, or Terms of Use violations.
5. Pause when you’re leaving ms.gov - If a page sends you to an external site, remember ms.gov says it isn’t responsible for the content there, and the site you land on may not meet ms.gov accessibility standards.
