Examples include disclosing your information to our vendors that process payments, host our customer relationship management tool, or disclosing information to our cloud data warehouse provider to store your data. These service providers enter into contractual relationships with DUOS requiring these service providers to only use this information as necessary to provide the services to you and DUOS.

How Your Information Is Secured

1. We employ safeguards designed to help preserve our Users’ security and privacy and to help prevent the misuse of any Personally Identifiable Information. These safeguards are consistent with industry standards. In addition to other procedural safeguards, we use security software (SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, technology) and firewalls to protect your information.
2. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, we can make no representations or warranties regarding the security of any data exchanged through the Services. There are potential security risks beyond our control. With this in mind, by using the Services you acknowledge that you are transmitting data through the Services at your own risk.

How Long Your Information Is Retained

We retain relevant Personally Identifiable Information related to your account and/or your business relationship with us pursuant to applicable federal and state rules and regulations and so long as retaining said Personally Identifiable Information is necessary including, but not limited to, the duration of time that you utilize the Services, the duration for which any amounts owed to DUOS are due by you, and a reasonable period after termination of any business relationship. Information may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for additional time.
