Privacy Policy & Cookies Policy


Who We Are

This website, bigjimkohler.com, is operated by  BigJim Kohler, a blues band based in New Bern, North Carolina ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how we use it, and the choices you have.


By using this site, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Information We Collect

Information you give us. When you use our contact or booking form, or email us directly, we collect what you choose to share. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, event date, venue or location, and details about your event or inquiry. If you sign up for show updates or a mailing list, we collect your email address and name.


Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site and its hosting platform automatically collect basic technical information when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, the site that referred you, and the date and time of your visit. This information does not identify you by name.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to booking requests, questions, and messages
  • Plan and confirm performances, private events, and other engagements
  • Send show announcements or updates, if you asked to receive them
  • Understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it
  • Keep the site secure and working properly


We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Cookies and Analytics

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help the site function and tell us how it is being used.


We may use analytics tools, such as the built-in statistics from our website platform and [Google Analytics], to see things like how many people visit, which pages are popular, and how visitors find us. These tools collect information in aggregate and do not tell us who you are. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.


You can set your browser to refuse or delete cookies. Some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.

Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

Our site includes music players, videos, and links from outside services, including YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Facebook, and Instagram. When you play embedded content or click through to these services, they may collect information about you and set their own cookies, just as if you had visited their sites directly. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies, not this one.


Our site is built and hosted on the Duda website platform, which processes technical data needed to deliver the site to you. The platform delivers form submissions to us by email.


We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site or service. We encourage you to review their policies before sharing information with them.

How We Share Information

We share personal information only in these limited cases:

  • With service providers who help us run the site or send emails, and only as needed for them to do that work
  • With event partners such as a venue or event organizer, when needed to plan a performance you asked us about
  • When required by law, or to protect our rights, our safety, or the safety of others
  • We never sell your personal information to anyone.

Data Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as we need it to respond to you, plan events, or send updates you requested, or as required by law. Mailing list information is kept until you unsubscribe.


We take reasonable steps to protect your information, and the site uses a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of transmitting or storing data online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it.

Your Choices

You can:

  • Unsubscribe from show updates at any time using the link in any email, or by contacting us
  • Ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us
  • Manage cookies through your browser settings
  • Opt out of Google Analytics using Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout


We will respond to reasonable requests within 30 days.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and update the effective date below.
