Welcome! This is where you can learn about Brilliant Diamonds, the technologies and services used by our Advertising Network partners, and our data collection and privacy policies.
How do our services work?
Brilliant Diamonds does not share any data that allows Ad Networks or Ad Exchanges to identify you directly, such as your first and last name, postal address, email address in plain text, etc.
When you browse our website, we employ technology that allows us to collect a limited amount of data relating to your browsing, such as the products you have viewed, put in your shopping cart, and purchased. This navigation data is linked to a unique identifier, namely an identification cookie or any other similar technology (such as mobile advertising identifiers and non-cookie technologies) depending on your navigation environment.
When you browse a Publisher’s website or mobile application that also uses our technologies, the Publisher notifies our partner advertiser exchange that an advertising space is available to offer you personalized advertising and/or partner’s technology, working then may decide to purchase that advertising space.

Brilliant Diamonds reserves the right to detail, modify or update this policy at any time.
