When Does DTSmachinery.com Collect Personal Information?
DTSmachinery.com collects personal information from you when you voluntarily submit that information to DTSmachinery.com, for example: when you apply for a customer membership; register on a Site; sign up for a subscription service; register for our e-newsletter service; participate in surveys; respond to an offer; purchase or products; or request to be on a mailing list. After you have registered your e-mail address on the Site and if you have clicked "Remember Me" or signed in to the Site, DTSmachinery.com collects Site behavior and browser information as you navigate through the Site. This information may be used to create a profile that we keep on individual Users that details their preferences, personal information and behavior. Consequently, collected information is tied to the User's personally identifiable information and may be used to provide offers and improve the content of the Site for the User. This profile may also be used to tailor a User's visit to our Web Site, and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them.
We may also collect personal information from other sources. For example, we purchase third party marketing data and add it to our existing databases of User and Member information to better target our advertising and provide pertinent offers we think our Users and Members would be interested in. We use this information to enhance or overlay the 'profile' of individual Users. This aggregate marketing data is therefore tied to the User's or Member's personally identifiable information.

During registration a User is required to provide basic contact information (such as name and e-mail address) and establish a password.

For example, a User signing up for our subscription service will be required to provide an address to which products will be mailed and financial information in the form of a credit card or check card number and expiration date for billing purposes..
What Happens When I Place An Order On The Web Site?
