Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2025

At Alpedia, accessible at www.alpedia.biz.id, we respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, with whom we share it, how long we keep it, and the choices you have. If you have questions, please contact us via our contact page.

Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to information collected through our website and related pages we control. It does not cover third-party websites, services, or platforms that we do not operate. Their practices are governed by their own policies.

Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Usage Data: IP address, browser type and version, device identifiers, general location (city/region), pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: small files and identifiers used for core functionality, preferences, analytics, and advertising.
• Content You Provide: messages sent via our forms, comments, or feedback (including your name and email address if you choose to provide them).
• Diagnostics and Security Signals: data that helps us detect abuse, spam, or misuse and maintain site reliability.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve our website and content.
• Provide features, respond to inquiries, and offer support.
• Measure performance, understand readership, and enhance usability.
• Serve and measure advertising, including interest-based ads where permitted.
• Protect against spam, fraud, and abuse; comply with legal obligations.

Advertising and Personalization

We may display third-party advertisements (including Google AdSense). These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, measure, and personalize ads based on your visits to this and other sites, subject to your consent where required. Advertisers may receive your IP address automatically when an ad loads. Alpedia does not control third-party cookie practices.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site (for example, which pages are read most). Analytics services use cookies and similar technologies to provide aggregated reports. Where required by law, we ask for your consent before these tools are activated.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are in the EEA or UK, we process personal data under these legal bases: (a) consent (for optional cookies/ads/analytics), (b) legitimate interests (to secure and improve our services), (c) contract (to provide requested content or features), and (d) legal obligation (to comply with applicable laws).

Cookie Controls

You can manage cookies in several ways:

• Consent Preferences: When presented, use our banner or the page at /privacy-choices to update your cookie and ad settings.
• Browser Settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Instructions are available on each browser's support site.
• Ad Preferences: You can adjust interest-based ad settings with major providers or opt out where such tools are available in your region.

Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:

• Service Providers: vendors that host our site, provide analytics, security, or advertising services under contractual confidentiality obligations.
• Legal and Safety: when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our terms, or protect our rights, users, or the public.
• Business Changes: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or other transfer of assets, consistent with applicable law.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, for legitimate business needs (such as security, analytics, or record-keeping), and to meet legal requirements. Retention periods vary by data type and context.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your information.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Request a portable copy of your data (where applicable).

To exercise these rights, contact us via our contact page. We may verify your identity before responding. If we are unable to fulfill a request, we will explain why.

Regional Notices

• California (CPRA): You may have rights to know, correct, delete, and limit use of sensitive personal information, and to opt out of sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may also designate an agent to submit requests on your behalf.
• Brazil (LGPD): You may have rights to confirm processing, access, correct, delete, and revoke consent.
• Indonesia (PDP Law) and Singapore (PDPA): You may have rights to access, correct, and withdraw consent according to local laws.
• EEA/UK (GDPR): You may have rights described in the section above on Legal Bases and Your Privacy Rights, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Children's Privacy

Alpedia does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information on our site, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no common industry standard for DNT, our site may not respond to these signals.

Third-Party Links and Services

Our site may reference third-party content or services. Interactions with those services are governed by their respective policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Significant changes will be noted on this page.

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about privacy, please reach us via the form at our contact page. For requests relating to your rights, include sufficient details so we can verify and respond.
