6. Data Accuracy and Error Correction

DIXON takes reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of ALPR information. These include equipment testing prior to deployment and post-collection review by data analysis staff to identify and address erroneous or anomalous reads. Identified data errors are corrected prior to client delivery where feasible.

7. Data Retention

ALPR data collected by DIXON is stored within the database systems of DIXON’s LPR technology vendor. Data is retained for the duration of the project engagement and for a reasonable period thereafter as needed to fulfill deliverables and respond to client questions.

Following the conclusion of an engagement, DIXON’s Project Manager reviews whether continued retention of ALPR data serves a legitimate project purpose. If no such purpose remains, DIXON requests deletion of the relevant data from its vendor in accordance with the applicable data agreement. The timing of actual deletion is subject to the vendor’s data management processes and the terms of that agreement.
