Where is the data stored?
On a storage device we own, control, and possess?
Or theirs?
Does the software license make note that WE own the data and if the software is not renewed, the data is still ours?

Response provided by Tracy Engler, Crime Scene/Evidence Supervisor:
The data is stored in the cloud on their server. We own the data and it remains ours if the contract is not renewed.
