Privacy

Last updated October 31, 2026

This page explains, in plain language, what information chiefdj.com collects, why, who helps handle it, and the choices you have. The short version: we use it to answer booking inquiries and to see which parts of the site people enjoy. We don't run ads and we never sell your information.

Who we are

chiefdj.com is the website of DJ Chief, a DJ, producer and writer based in South Florida, USA. "We" and "us" on this page means DJ Chief. For anything about your information, see Contact below.

What you send us: the booking form

When you send a booking or general inquiry, we receive what you type: your name, email, phone number (optional) and your message.

Why: to reply to you and to plan any booking or project you ask about.
Who handles it: the form is processed and stored by our website host, Netlify, which then sends it to us by email.
How long: as long as needed to handle your inquiry and any work that follows, and for ordinary business records. You can ask us to delete it at any time.

Analytics and cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used, so we can improve it. It tells us things like which pages are visited, roughly where visitors are (country or city), what kind of device and browser they use, which site or app sent them here, and which features they use on the site (for example opening the turntable, Break Mode, a streaming link, or sending the booking form).

Google Analytics sets cookies on your device (named _ga and _ga_…) to tell visits apart. They can last up to two years unless you clear them or decline.
Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. We can't see who you are, and we don't combine this with the booking form.
Analytics data is kept for 2 months and then deleted automatically.
In Europe and the UK, Google Analytics only runs if you choose Accept in the cookie notice. Elsewhere it runs by default, and you can turn it off at any time.

Your cookie choice: you can accept or decline, and change your mind any time.

Cookie settings

Google's own privacy information: Google Privacy Policy. You can also block Google Analytics on every website with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

Things saved only on your device

A few small settings are remembered in your own browser so the site behaves nicely. They are never sent to us:

What	Why
Your cookie choice	So we don't ask again.
That you've seen the opening animation	So it only plays on your first visit.
That you've seen the "open in your browser" tip	So it only shows once.
Where you are in the Break Mode playlist	So each tap plays the next song. Cleared when you close the browser.

Hosting and fonts

Netlify hosts this website. Like any web host, its servers receive your IP address and basic browser details when you load a page, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Netlify's privacy policy.
The site's fonts and everything else on its pages are served from chiefdj.com itself, so nothing is requested from Google or anyone else just by opening a page. The only exception is Google Analytics, as described above.

Links to other sites

Links to Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and other sites take you to services with their own privacy policies. Nothing from those services is embedded on chiefdj.com or loads until you choose to visit them.

What we don't do

We don't sell or rent your information, or share it for advertising.
We don't run ads or advertising trackers.
We don't knowingly collect information from children. The site isn't aimed at children under 13 (or under 16 in Europe).

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or to stop using it. If you're in the European Economic Area or the UK you also have the right to object, to restrict use and to data portability, and to complain to your local data protection authority. If you're in California, you can ask what we collect and ask us to delete it; we don't sell or share personal information as defined by California law. We'll answer within 30 days.

Information handled by Netlify and Google may be processed in the United States and other countries, under those companies' safeguards for international transfers.

Contact

For any privacy question or request, send a message through the booking form and start it with "Privacy request".

Changes

If we change how we handle information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
