Preferred Data Systems, L.L.C. (“PDS,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is an IT consulting and managed services provider based in Farmington Hills, Michigan. We respect the privacy of the people we work with and take our responsibility for the information entrusted to us seriously. This Privacy Statement explains what personal information PDS collects, how we use and protect it, when we share it, and the choices available to you. It applies to information collected through our website, pdsnetworking.com (the “Site”), and to information we receive in the course of providing services to our clients.
Information We Collect
Information you provide to us. When you complete a form on our Site, such as the “Schedule a Free Consultation” form or our Contact form, we collect the information you enter, which may include your name, company name, email address, telephone number, the subject of your inquiry and your message. We also collect the information you provide when you contact us by telephone or email, or when you become a client of PDS.
Information we receive while providing services. In delivering IT consulting and managed services, PDS may have access to information held in our clients’ systems, including business contact details of client personnel (such as names, job titles, email addresses and telephone numbers), user account information, and information about client devices and networks. This information belongs to our client. PDS accesses and uses it only to deliver the services the client has engaged us to provide, and handles it in accordance with our agreement with that client.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our Site and the services that host it may automatically record technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view, the date and time of your visit, and the website that referred you. We use this information to operate, maintain and secure the Site.
How We Use Your Information
PDS uses the personal information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and schedule consultations you request;
- Provide, manage and support the services our clients have engaged us to deliver;
- Administer client accounts, including billing and service communications;
- Inform clients and prospective clients about PDS services that may be of interest to them;
- Maintain the security and proper operation of our Site and our systems; and
- Comply with our legal, regulatory and contractual obligations.
PDS does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion or political affiliation, for any purpose without your explicit consent.
How We Share Your Information
PDS does not sell, rent or lease personal information to third parties. We share personal information only in the following circumstances:
Service providers and vendors. We may share information with vendors and service providers that help us operate our business or deliver services to our clients, such as software, cloud, licensing and support providers. They may use the information only to perform services for PDS or our clients and are required to keep it confidential.
At a client’s direction. We share client information as directed or authorized by that client.
Legal requirements. We may disclose personal information where required by law or legal process, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of PDS, our clients or others.

How We Protect Your Information
PDS uses administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we hold to protect it from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or loss. These include restricting access to personnel who need it to perform their duties and encrypting information transmitted to and from our Site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and PDS cannot guarantee absolute security; however, we work to protect your information and to respond promptly if a security incident occurs.
How Long We Keep Your Information
PDS keeps personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Statement, to meet our obligations to our clients, or as required by law. Client information is retained and returned or disposed of in accordance with our agreement with that client.

You may contact us at any time to ask what personal information PDS holds about you, to request that we correct or delete it, or to ask that we stop sending you marketing communications.
