Information You Submit

When you sign up to receive certain types of information (such as email newsletters, product software upgrades, and some licensee-related documents) or otherwise actively send us data (such as to sign up for a Service, participate in a contest or engage with a website we operate for business partners), we obtain data such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, login credentials, business details, and any other information you provide. This may include personal information to create or modify an account or submitted through our surveys, registrations, reviews, and “Support” and “Contact Us” features.

We collect information from you when you interact with Dolby.io.  For example, if you utilize Dolby Millicast, we process voice or video calls, audio or audio/visual media files, and documents or other information you may share through the usage of Dolby.io. If you utilize THEOplayer or THEOlive, we process your login information, contact information, and other information you may share with us (for instance, for customer support). Additionally, we collect information when you use the chat functionality on the Dolby.io website, when you otherwise communicate through Dolby.io, or when you use customer support tools or services—for instance, if you utilize the diagnostic recording feature to submit content for customer support, we may obtain voice or video recordings from you. Information that you submit through chat functionality is shared with and stored by our third-party vendors for purposes of providing the chat functionality. We may also obtain voice or video recordings from you if you utilized the storage feature as part of your use of Dolby.io.

If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you.  For example, if you use our customer support tools or services, we may obtain any other information you choose to provide.

Information When You Use the PHRTF Creator App

Solely with respect to the PHRTF Creator App, we ask you to capture video of your head and shoulders to generate a personalized PHRTF based on images and measurements related to your features from the video footage. This video footage remains on your device and is not shared with Dolby. Information shared with Dolby includes your PHRTF and other non-personal data that is used to deliver your personalized audio experience (such as spatially-oriented format for acoustics file and a renderer coefficient). To help us generate a personalized audio setting, we also ask you to complete an optional survey of demographic information, including your sex, age, height, weight, and ethnicity.

For recruitment purposes, you may provide personal data including contact information (such as name, postal address, email address and mobile or other phone number); your CV or resume; other files or content you provide (such as cover letter, references, transcripts, photographs, videos, articles, voluntary survey responses, comments, and links to websites such as LinkedIn or GitHub); academic and professional details (such as work experience, job titles, skills, professional certifications or licenses, educational background, and transcripts); and login details (user ID and password). In the United States, information you provide to us may also include citizenship or work permit status, and your willingness to relocate. In addition, our application may contain optional questions about demographic information including your gender and race/ethnicity. Answering these demographic questions is completely voluntary. Your responses, or your choice to not respond, will not be associated with your specific application and will not in any way be used in the hiring decision, nor will you be subject to any adverse treatment by Dolby.
