Other Information and Non-Identifiable Data
When you interact with the Services, we receive and store certain non-identifiable information. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. Black Diamond may store such information itself, or it may be included in databases owned and maintained by Black Diamond affiliates, agents, or service providers. The Services may use such information and pool it with other information to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page, and the domain names of our visitors' internet service providers. Uses of such non-identifiable information may include the Most Requested Songs list, Availability Checks, and Date Popularity. No Personal Data is available or used in this process.
Cookies
In operating the Services, we may use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of information that the computer hosting our Services gives to your browser when you access the Services. The Black Diamond cookie can only be accessed by the Black Diamond server and not other servers. Our cookies help provide additional functionality and help us analyze Services usage more accurately. For instance, our Site may set a cookie on your browser to allow the Black Diamond event planning software, DJ Event Planner, to verify that you have the proper credentials to view the associated company information. These cookies are destroyed when you manually log off of the Site. In all cases in which we use cookies, we will not collect Personal Data except with your permission.
A long-term cookie will be set when the Remember Login option is chosen. This long-term cookie can be deleted by clicking the "Log Me Off and Delete the Cookie" link. On most web browsers, you will find a "help" section on the toolbar with information on how to receive notification when you are receiving a new cookie and how to turn cookies off. We recommend that you leave cookies turned on, because they allow you to take advantage of some Service features.
Location Information
Our Service and third parties that are integrated into our Service may collect and use your location information, for example by using the GPS on your mobile device, to provide certain functionality of our Service.
Google Analytics
We may allow third-party service providers to use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites following your use of the Services. For example, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze how users use the Site and to enhance your experience when you use the Service. For more information on how Google uses this data, visit google.com/policies/privacy/partners.

Like many businesses, Black Diamond sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples of such functions include mailing information, maintaining databases, emailing information, calendar sharing, and processing payments. When we employ another entity to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information they need to perform their specific function. These include, but are not limited to: MailChimp, payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net), Google, email providers, and calendaring applications.
