LINKS TO OTHER SITES Links from this site can take you to the sites of several divisions of DTS as well as to third party websites or resources. The information practices of third party websites are not covered by this Privacy Statement or any other policies or terms of this Site. Each of our websites may also have a different privacy policy and terms of use. Be sure that you know the terms of use and privacy policy of any linked website before using it.

DTS does not collect Personally Identifiable Information about a user, unless it is voluntarily provided to our Company and so that we can serve the user's needs and our legitimate business purposes as stated here. For example, when the user sends us a message or makes an online purchase, we need to retain certain Personally Identifiable Information on this Site in order to respond. A user's Personally Identifiable Information may also be used by our company to help us improve this Site, and for our company's marketing and promotional purposes. The information will be treated confidentially within our company, as we protect other confidential information. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. PUBLIC POSTINGS Users should be reminded that any Personally Identifiable Information that is voluntarily posted by a user to a public area of a DTS Web site (for example, a posting to a bulletin board or chat room) might be collected and used by others. We cannot prevent such uses.
