Privacy
- Duo does not sell any information (including your phone number) to third parties.
- Installing the Duo Mobile app on a personal device does NOT:
- Make the device "discoverable" via public records law.
- Allow UO system administrators to wipe your device.
- The Duo Mobile app cannot see your phone's user data like:
- your contacts
- photos
- text messages
- other applications you have installed
- your device's location
- and other files
- In general, the only personal data that Duo Mobile knows about you are the accounts that you intentionally add to Duo Mobile.
The app does report device state data, which is accessible by the University of Oregon's Duo team. This data is used to assess the aggregated security score of the university's user base. Starting with Duo Mobile v3.24, users can opt out of this feature.
