Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

IndonesiaExplained.com ("we," "our," or "the site") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, how it's used, and the choices you have. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in a few limited ways:

• Contact form submissions — name, email address, organisation (optional), and the message you send us.
• Newsletter signups — your email address, used solely to deliver the newsletter you signed up for.
• Automatically collected data — standard technical information such as browser type, approximate location, and pages visited, gathered through analytics tools.

3. How We Use It

Information you provide is used only for the purpose you provided it — responding to your inquiry, processing a correction request, or sending the newsletter you opted into. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies & Analytics

Like most websites, we may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site and to improve content over time. You can disable cookies through your browser settings; some site features may work differently as a result.

5. Third-Party Services

This site may use third-party services such as web analytics providers, email delivery platforms for the newsletter, and embedded media from external sources. These services have their own privacy policies governing how they handle data.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry. Newsletter email addresses are retained until you unsubscribe. You may request earlier deletion at any time — see Section 7.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of the newsletter at any time via the unsubscribe link in every email. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

8. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
