Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 15, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Alih Media ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and safeguards information when you visit or interact with our website (the "Site"). We aim to keep this notice clear, useful, and respectful of your choices. By using the Site, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.

Who We Are

Alih Media is a digital publisher based in Indonesia. References to "you" or "your" mean any visitor or user of the Site.

Scope

This Policy covers information collected through the Site and any features, forms, or tools we provide. It does not cover websites, apps, or services we do not operate or control. When you navigate to third parties or use embedded features, their terms and notices apply.

Information We Collect

We collect information to operate the Site, respond to you, improve content, maintain security, and support analytics and advertising where permitted.

• Information you provide (e.g., name, email, and message) when you submit forms, send inquiries, or participate in surveys.
• Technical and usage data (e.g., IP address, device and browser type, operating system, approximate location from IP, pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages, and interactions such as clicks or scroll depth) collected via server logs, cookies, and similar technologies.
• Inferences derived in aggregate to understand content performance and audience trends; used to improve the Site.

How We Use Information

• Operate, maintain, and secure the Site.
• Respond to questions and support requests.
• Analyze performance and improve content, layout, and usability (aggregated or de-identified where possible).
• Enforce our Terms and comply with legal obligations.
• Support analytics and advertising measurement where permitted.

Legal Bases

Depending on your location, we may process information based on consent, contractual necessity, legitimate interests (such as Site security and analytics), compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital interests, or tasks carried out in the public interest.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the Site working, remember preferences, measure performance, and support advertising.

• Essential — required for core functionality and security.
• Preferences — remember choices such as language.
• Analytics — help us understand usage and improve navigation and content.
• Advertising — support delivery, frequency capping, and relevance where allowed.

Your choices: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; private browsing modes can limit storage. Where available, on-site cookie controls allow additional choices. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality.

Advertising and Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand aggregate usage and maintain Site performance. We primarily sustain our work with display advertising. Partners may process limited data (e.g., IP, cookie or device identifiers, page/ad interactions) to measure effectiveness. Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Where required, we request consent before certain cookies or processing activities.

We do not sell personal information. Advertising relationships do not influence our editorial conclusions.

Sharing and Disclosures

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these limited situations:

• Service providers for hosting, security, analytics, advertising delivery, or support—under confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
• Legal compliance and protection when required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
• Business changes such as reorganization or transfer of assets; we will continue to protect information consistent with this Policy.
• Aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably identify you, to help explain Site performance and trends.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law (e.g., tax or accounting). Retention periods vary by data type and context. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete or de-identify it. Aggregated or de-identified data may be kept for analytics and reporting.

International Transfers

Information may be processed in countries outside your jurisdiction. Where applicable, we use safeguards—such as contractual protections—to help ensure an adequate level of protection in line with relevant laws.

Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security. We review safeguards periodically and work to improve them over time. If we become aware of a security incident involving your information, we will act promptly and follow applicable notification obligations.

Your Rights and Choices

Your available rights depend on your location. Subject to applicable laws, you may request to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal information; object to certain processing; or request portability.

• EEA/UK — rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection (including to profiling for direct marketing). Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time.
• California — rights to know/access, correct, delete, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, plus the right to non-discrimination. Authorized agents may submit requests with appropriate proof. You may have the right to appeal our decision.
• Other jurisdictions — similar rights may exist. We will respond as required by applicable law.

How to exercise your rights: Submit a request via our contact page. We may need to verify your identity before acting. Where we rely on service providers, we will coordinate with them as needed to honor applicable rights.

Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age where parental consent is required by law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from such children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Do Not Track and Preference Signals

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. Because standards vary, we do not currently respond to DNT alone. Where a recognized global privacy control (GPC) or similar signal is required and supported by our systems, we will honor it as required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will provide a clear notice on this page. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised Policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Contact

Questions, requests, or concerns about privacy? Please reach us via our contact page. We keep the inbox tidy and the response human, even when brief.
