DTEK can modify,change or delete your user anytime.
DTEK acts as a anti-virus that is located away from your phone and is connected via Cloud(gsm).
DTEK have access to all apps on your device, where before users could root the device and monitor what is going on by themselves.
DTEK acts as SuperUser watching and recording everything you do. And no, you have no access to the information they are collecting about the BB users via DTEK.
It is a very bad move by Blackberry/Google.
It reminds me of Windows 10, where everything you do is monitored "live", and you can't turn that prying eye off.
To our luck there are ways to Root PRIV, until next DTEK auto-update(you can turn the "auto" off)...
Think of BlackBerry PRIV as a receiver that you can only use to receive.
Other phone options are taken away by DTEK to limit user freedom on their own phone in exchnage for suposed security.
Bad trade.

I don't know the sources for your claims. I have looked at
https://help.blackberry.com/pl/dtek-...851802906.html and nothing there implies what you are stating.
As far as rooting, I don't know if it is specifically DTEK that prevents it, but whatever, if the PRIV is ever rooted it will be a disaster for BlackBerry. It isn't about taking away your control in exchange for privacy, it is about the security of your data. For a serious BlackBerry user, the data is worth more than the device. If you want to root your BlackBerry I can't help but think you are using the wrong brand.
Caveat: I don't use the PRIV and won't be using an Android device of any type.
