DTN collects personally identifiable information on a voluntary basis for the purposes of: providing customized content, subscription service registration, demographic compilation, and marketing and promotional campaigns. When information is required that uniquely identifies you as an individual (name, address, phone number, etc), you will have the opportunity to "opt-out" of any promotional marketing, except when you specifically request marketing or promotional information.

From time to time, DTN will perform statistical analysis using data provided by you for the purposes of: determining interest in various services provided by DTN, inform advertisers of the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns, and to better serve your information needs. Also, DTN may allow select third parties to offer subscription services or fee-based products through the DTN site. DTN makes no guarantees in regard to the policies of these parties and you should investigate each site's privacy policy before providing personally identifiable information to them.

DTN utilizes 'cookies' to provide custom content and measure visitation patterns and user preferences. Cookies are small text files sent from DTN to your hard drive. These files do not allow anyone else to obtain your personal information, nor do they cause any harm to your computer. DTN may provide aggregate (not individual) information obtained using cookies to third parties, but this information will not include your personally identifiable information.

Your privacy is important to DTN. We use a variety of security measures to protect your personally identifiable information from unauthorized use. DTN does, however, contain links to other web sites that are not controlled by us. Please take all necessary precautions to protect your information when you visit one of these sites.
