PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: September 2026

The Mid South Business Exchange (“MSBX,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an initiative of the Southaven Chamber Foundation. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit msbusinessexchange.com or interact with MSBX programs, resources, and services through the website.

We respect the privacy of our visitors and are committed to handling personal information responsibly.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

At this time, MSBX does not maintain a general contact form, newsletter signup, or direct payment system on this website.

You may choose to interact with MSBX through links to registration systems, external websites, email addresses, or other services. Information you provide through those services is subject to the privacy practices of the organization or service receiving the information.

As additional features are added to MSBX, such as online registration, forms, or direct payment capabilities, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect those practices.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the MSBX website, certain information may be collected automatically through website analytics, cookies, server logs, and similar technologies.

This information may include:

  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system
  • General geographic information
  • Pages viewed and time spent on the website
  • Referring website or source
  • Links or features used
  • Other technical information about how visitors interact with the website

This information helps us understand how the MSBX website is being used and how we can improve the visitor experience.

Google Analytics

MSBX uses Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and visitor interaction.

Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how visitors use the website. This information helps us evaluate website performance, understand which content is useful to visitors, and improve MSBX programs and online resources.

Google's collection and use of information is governed by Google's own privacy policies and terms.

Visitors may use browser settings and other tools provided by Google to manage or limit certain analytics tracking.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

The MSBX website may use cookies and similar technologies that support website functionality, analytics, embedded content, and visitor preferences.

Cookies are small files stored on a visitor's device by a website or third-party service. You can generally configure your browser to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect the operation of certain website features.

As MSBX adds additional website services, we will review and update our cookie practices as appropriate.

Workshop and Event Registration

MSBX workshops and events may include links to external registration systems.

Currently, registration and payment for certain MSBX workshops are processed through the Southaven Chamber of Commerce's event registration system. When you follow a link from MSBX to register for an event, you leave the MSBX website.

Information you provide during registration is collected and processed according to the privacy practices and policies applicable to that registration system and the Southaven Chamber of Commerce.

MSBX does not currently process workshop payments directly through msbusinessexchange.com.

Email Communications

MSBX does not currently maintain a separate website-based email subscription list.

Information about MSBX programs, workshops, podcasts, resources, and other activities may be communicated using existing contact and communication systems maintained by the Southaven Chamber of Commerce, including its GrowthZone contact database.

Recipients should use the preference or unsubscribe options provided with those communications to manage their email preferences.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

The MSBX website may contain embedded content or links to third-party services, including video, audio, event registration, social media, educational resources, and other websites.

For example, MSBX may embed or link to content hosted by services such as YouTube.

Embedded content from another website may behave in substantially the same way as if you visited that website directly. Those third parties may collect information, use cookies, or track interaction with their content according to their own privacy policies.

MSBX does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or services. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of those services when appropriate.

How We Use Information

Information collected through the MSBX website may be used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website
  • Understand how visitors use MSBX content and resources
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of programs and educational content
  • Improve podcasts, workshops, articles, resources, and other MSBX offerings
  • Communicate information about MSBX programs and activities
  • Maintain website security and troubleshoot technical problems
  • Meet applicable legal or administrative requirements

We do not sell personal information to advertisers.

Sharing of Information

MSBX may share information with service providers or organizations that help us operate the website and deliver MSBX programs and services.

These may include website hosting and technology providers, analytics providers, event registration systems, communications platforms, and other service providers necessary to support MSBX operations.

Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, or security of MSBX, the Southaven Chamber Foundation, our users, or others.

Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information associated with the MSBX website.

However, no website, internet transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use appropriate care when transmitting personal information online.
