Internal Access To Personal Information

Personal information is restricted to Duey.ai employees who need it to (i) develop and provide our services and (ii) offer user support. Employees only have access to the specific information necessary for their roles.

We may share personal information with affiliated companies. If we do, we will require these companies to adhere to this or a similar privacy policy. Affiliated companies include:

  • Duey.ai's parent company.
  • Any subsidiary companies.
  • Joint venture partners.
  • Any other entities we control or are under common control.

When third-party contractors have or could have access to personal information, we require them to treat it with the same level of confidentiality that we do. For instance, an IT contractor providing system maintenance might have access to personal information while performing their services. Other third-party services that involve access to personal information include data analysis, hosting services, marketing, and product development. Specific third-party contractors to whom we provide personal information are listed in the section "Other Information We Collect."

External Disclosure of Personal Information

Apart from the circumstances detailed in this Policy, Duey.ai only shares personal information with third parties when a reasonable person would expect such disclosure—for example, hiring a third party to provide user support services (e.g., Help Desk).

Duey.ai will disclose personal information if required by a court order or other legal obligations (for example if we are in receipt of a subpoena or summons). Unless legally prohibited, we will attempt to notify the user of such an order or directive to disclose personal information, allowing them to contest the order.

We will also disclose personal information to the appropriate authorities to report criminal or potentially criminal activity, including fraud against us or our users, or to protect the security of our users and their data and their intellectual property. By using our Website and/or Application, you consent to the reasonable exercise of our discretion in these matters.

We do not sell users' personal information.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information indefinitely to allow users to purchase services in the future and to provide ongoing service updates and support.

When disposing of personal information, we ensure it is done securely to prevent privacy breaches, such as shredding paper files and permanently deleting electronic records. Information retained solely for statistical purposes will be anonymized and no longer considered personal information.

If a user requests to delete their personal information, we will comply. To request the deletion of your personal information, please get in touch with our Privacy Compliance Officer (PCO) at hello@duey.ai and include "Privacy Inquiry" in the subject line.

Safeguards

We implement industry-standard administrative, electronic (such as SSL encryption), and security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access.

Data Breaches

While we take reasonable steps to secure personal information, no security measures are foolproof, and no data storage or transmission method can be safeguarded entirely against interception or misuse. Information stored online is particularly vulnerable to unauthorized access and misuse.

In the event of a data breach that poses a significant risk of harm to users, we will take the following steps:

  • Notify users of the violation if their personal information was or may have been accessed or affected.
  • Inform users of the specific personal information that may have been accessed or affected, if known.
  • Advise users on steps to reduce the risk of harm from the breach, such as changing passwords or monitoring accounts.
  • Notify users when the breach has been addressed, and the risk to their data has been mitigated.
  • Inform applicable government authorities of the breach if required by law.
