The web site Duet.com is a joint website of SAP and Microsoft, who are committed to protecting the privacy of information you provide to this site. This Statement of Privacy applies to the Duet.com Web site and governs collection and usage of personal data through this Site. This Statement of Privacy does not apply to the Duet product or to any other Microsoft or SAP sites, products, or services. SAP and Microsoft created this privacy statement to demonstrate their firm commitment to secure and trustworthy Internet commerce and the individual's right to privacy.
By using this Site, you consent to the collection and use of the information and data as described here. If we decide to change this privacy policy, we will post the changes on this page so that you will always know what information we collect, and how we use it.
Collection and Use of Personal Data
On Duet.com, we only store personal information relating to you with your permission. You may choose to reveal information to us if, for example, you register for a service or complete a survey. If you choose to register, you will be asked for your formal consent regarding collection and usage of your personally identifiable information. The personal information collected on this Site will be used to operate the Site and to provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized.
In support of these uses, Microsoft, SAP, and their affiliates may use personal information to provide you with more effective customer service, to improve the Site and any related SAP or Microsoft products or services, and to make the Site easier to use by eliminating the need for you to repeatedly enter the same information or by customizing the Site to your particular preference or interests.
We may use your personal information to provide you with important information about the product or service that you are using, including critical updates and notifications. Additionally, with your permission, we may send you information about other SAP or Microsoft products and services, and/or share information with Microsoft or SAP partners so they may send you information about their products and services.
We may collect information about your visit, including the pages you view, the links you click and other actions taken in connection with Duet.com content and services. We also collect certain standard information that your browser sends to every website you visit, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used by us to maintain quality of the website’s services and content, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the Duet.com Web site. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Duet.com public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others.
Third parties may access and collect information on behalf of SAP or Microsoft through the Duet.com Web site, but they are not allowed to use this data for their own business purposes separate from their relationship with SAP or Microsoft. We will only share your personal data with these third parties according to applicable data protection laws or with your express permission. This data is used by these third parties solely for the purposes described under this Privacy Statement. Some of the Duet.com sites allow you to choose to share your personal information with selected SAP and Microsoft partners so that they can contact you about their products, services or offers.
We do not sell, rent or lease customer lists from the Site to third parties outside of SAP, Microsoft, and their affiliates. We may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party without your consent.
As worldwide acting companies, SAP and Microsoft operate a number of Web sites around the world. Any information that you submit to Duet.com may be sent electronically to a server in another country, where the respective country-specific Duet website is located. We safeguard your privacy interests around the world because all country-specific SAP and Microsoft sites adhere to our international data-protection principles described in this statement.
SAP and Microsoft will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so or in line with applicable laws.
Access to Your Personal Information
You can review and edit the personal information you provided at this Site by logging in and changing your information.
Online Security
SAP and Microsoft support secure online shopping on Duet.com by only storing your personal information on computers with limited access that are located in controlled access facilities, and by transmitting sensitive personal information using encrypted transfer methods.
Collection and Use of Children's Personal Information
Duet.com sites and services are intended for general audiences and do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. When Duet.com does collect age information, and users identify themselves as under 13, the site will either block such users from providing personal information, or will seek to obtain consent from parents for the collection, use and sharing of their children's personal information. We will not knowingly ask children under the age of 13 to provide more information than is reasonably necessary to provide our services.
Please note that if you grant consent for your child to use Duet.com services, this will include such general audience communication services as e-mail, instant messaging, and online groups, and your child will be able to communicate with, and disclose personal information to, other users of all ages. Parents can change or revoke the consent choices previously made, and review, edit or request the deletion of their children's personal information. If we change this privacy statement in a way that expands the collection, use or disclosure of children's personal information to which a parent has previously consented, the parent will be notified and we will be required to obtain the parent's additional consent.
