Our Privacy Policy
The Duo App is dedicated to ensuring the privacy and security of your personal and financial information. We understand the importance of safeguarding the confidentiality of individuals, including yourself and your customers, by protecting their identifiable information. This commitment applies to all our products, services, and interactions. To provide clarity on how we handle Personal Information, we have developed this Privacy Policy, which outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your and your customers’ Personal Information when you engage with our websites, contact us, or utilise our products and services.
Duo App and its affiliates (referred to as “Duo App,” “we,” “our,” and/or “us”) highly value the privacy of individuals who use our services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information related to users of our services. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, the term “personal information” refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. By using our services, you agree to the collection, usage, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. Additionally, your use of our services is subject to other terms and conditions outlined beyond this Privacy Policy.

We collect personal information from various sources, including you and your devices, as explained below.
If you choose not to provide the requested personal information, it may restrict your access to certain services. This limitation applies if the personal information is necessary for providing the services or if we have a legal obligation to collect it.
When we collect, store, and use your Personal Information, we strictly adhere to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) or, as applicable, the United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018 (referred to as the “GDPR”).
As the data controller for all your Personal Information, it is your responsibility to comply with relevant privacy laws, ensure compliance, and obtain necessary consents and approvals for the lawful processing of such information.
What Personal Information Does Duo App Collect?
We collect Personal Information relating to you that you have provided to us (through account or partnership registration, completing forms, contacting us, or using our products and services) or that we may have obtained from another source (such as marketing partners, referral partners, or from marketing organisations).
This information may include your name, your company’s name, tax file number, date of birth, address, telephone numbers, credit card, bank account, and/or financial details, information on how you use our products and services (such as your video views history, help conversations, and browsing activity when visiting one of our websites), references, opinions and/or lifestyle information, and any other information collected in relation to your use of our products and services.
Most of the Personal Information we collect comes directly from you, either through email, telephone, the duoapp.co.uk website, or the Services. However, we may also collect information about you from other sources, including but not limited to third parties from whom we have purchased Personal Information. This helps us update, expand, and analyse our records, identify new customers, and create more tailored advertising to provide services that may be of interest to you. In particular, we collect Personal Information from the following sources:
- Customers of Duo App who may provide information directly to us, including Personal Information about their own business, clients, contacts, or subcontractors;
- From publicly accessible sources, such as property or permit records, corporate websites, trade and business licences, professional certifications, permits, trade association membership, and e-commerce marketplace profiles (from these sources, we may obtain business information on both business people and companies);
- From cookies on our website; and
- From market research surveys and/or interviews conducted by our own employees.
If you use one of our websites to complete an online application form or create an account, we will only collect the Personal Information you provide as part of that process if you complete and submit the application or register an account with us.
