Our responsibility to protect your data is fundamental to our operations.

3. Information We Collect

We collect various types of information from and about users of our Website. This information can be broadly categorized as follows:

a. Personal Information (Directly Provided):

This category includes information that you voluntarily provide to us through various interactions on the Website. The specific types of Personal Information we may collect depend on how you use the Website, but could include:

• Contact Information: Your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or any other contact details you provide when you fill out forms, sign up for newsletters, request information, or contact us directly.
• Communication Information: The content of your communications with us, including emails, messages sent through contact forms, or comments you post on the Website (if applicable). This includes metadata associated with these communications (like time and date).
• Inquiry Details: Information you provide when submitting inquiries related to our services, projects, or content. This might include specifics about a potential home exterior project, your needs, or preferences related to the Home Exterior niche.
• Survey & Feedback Data: Information you provide when participating in surveys, polls, or providing feedback on our Website or services.
• Account Information (If applicable future feature): If we were to introduce user accounts, this would include username, password (stored securely or hashed), profile information you choose to provide.
• Payment Information (If applicable future feature): While currently focused on information/content, if transactions were introduced, this would include payment card details or other financial information (processed securely via third-party providers).

Elaboration: When you provide this information, you are doing so actively. For example, filling out a “Contact Us” form requires you to input your name and email. Subscribing to a newsletter involves providing your email address. The type and amount of personal information collected in this way depend entirely on the specific form or feature you interact with and the information you choose to disclose. We only request information that is relevant and necessary for the specific interaction or service provided.

b. Usage Data (Automatically Collected):

When you visit and navigate our Website, we automatically collect certain information about your visit. This data is crucial for understanding how our Website is used, improving functionality, and ensuring security. This may include:

• Log Data: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address (which may indicate your general location), browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, referring website addresses (the site you came from), the pages you visited on our Website, the date and time of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics related to your browsing session.
• Device Information: Information about the device you use to access our Website, such as the device type (desktop, mobile, tablet), unique device identifiers, mobile network information, and device configuration.
• Clickstream Data: Details of how you navigated our Website, including the sequence of pages viewed, links clicked, and searches performed.
• Interaction Data: Information about how you interact with specific elements on the Website, such as scrolling behavior, mouse movements, and form interactions.

Elaboration: This data is generally non-identifying on its own but can be linked to potentially identify a specific device or browser over time. We collect this automatically through technologies like cookies, server logs, and other tracking tools. This data provides insights into user behavior patterns, popular content, technical issues, and website performance without necessarily knowing the individual identity of the user, unless they are logged in or have provided personal information elsewhere.

c. Cookies and Tracking Technologies Data:

We use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites.

• Cookies: Small text files placed on your device by your browser. They store information such as user preferences, login status (if accounts exist), and tracking data to help websites remember you and your settings for future visits. Cookies can be “session” cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (which remain on your device for a set period).
• Web Beacons/Pixels: Tiny graphic images (sometimes called “clear GIFs” or “tracking pixels”) placed on web pages or in emails. They collect information about page views, email opens, and other actions, often in conjunction with cookies.

Elaboration: The data collected by these technologies includes identifiers (like cookie IDs), browsing history, dates and times of visits, and interactions with Website elements. This data is used for various purposes, including Website functionality, performance analysis, analytics, and potentially for targeted advertising (though our primary focus is on Website improvement and understanding user interest in Home Exterior topics). For more detailed information about our use of cookies, please refer to the dedicated “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” section below.

d. Information from Third-Party Sources (Limited):

In limited circumstances, we may receive information about you from third parties. This could include:

• Social Media Integration (If applicable): If you interact with our Website through social media platforms (e.g., using a “share” button), the social media platform may share certain information with us according to their own privacy policies and your settings on that platform.
• Service Providers: Information provided by third-party service providers who support our operations (e.g., analytics services providing reports on website traffic, anti-spam services validating contact form submissions).
• Public Sources: Information available from publicly accessible sources.

Elaboration: We only obtain information from third parties when we have a lawful basis to do so and in accordance with the third party’s privacy policies and applicable law. The amount and type of information we receive from third parties is generally minimal compared to the information you provide directly or is automatically collected.

4. How We Collect Information

We collect information through the following methods:

• Direct Interactions: You provide information to us when you fill in forms on our Website, communicate with us via email or contact forms, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to surveys, or otherwise interact with our services.
• Automated Technologies or Interactions: As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we use cookies, web beacons, and other automatic data collection technologies to gather certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. This data is collected automatically as soon as you land on our site.
• Third Parties: We may receive data from third parties, such as analytics providers (like Google Analytics), advertising networks, search information providers, or social media platforms when you use related features on our site.

Elaboration: The collection methods are intertwined with the types of data collected. Direct interactions are how we get Personal Information. Automated technologies are the primary means of collecting Usage Data and Data from Cookies/Tracking Technologies. Interactions with third-party features or data from service providers might contribute information from Third-Party Sources. We ensure that when we collect data, it is done securely and transparently, as described in this policy.

5. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, primarily centered around operating, maintaining, and improving our Website and services within the Home Exterior niche. These purposes include:

• To Provide, Operate, and Maintain Our Website: Using collected data to ensure the Website functions correctly, load content efficiently, and provide you access to the information you seek. This includes hosting the site, managing its technical infrastructure, and ensuring basic functionality.
• To Improve, Personalize, and Expand Our Website: Analyzing usage data and feedback to understand user preferences, identify popular content, and discover areas where we can make improvements or add new features relevant to the Home Exterior niche. Personalization might involve showing you content you’ve indicated interest in (e.g., specific exterior design styles).
• To Understand and Analyze How You Use Our Website: Using analytics data (both aggregated and individual, depending on the tool) to gain insights into traffic patterns, user navigation paths, demographics (general, non-personally identifiable), and the effectiveness of our content. This helps us make data-driven decisions about website structure and content strategy.
• To Communicate With You: Responding to your inquiries, questions, comments, and requests submitted through contact forms or email. Providing customer or user support. Sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages, especially if you have an account (if applicable).
• To Send Marketing and Promotional Communications: If you have opted-in to receive such communications (e.g., by subscribing to a newsletter), we may use your contact information to send you information about services, features, offers, promotions, and events related to our Website and the Home Exterior niche that we believe may be of interest to you.
• For Research and Development: Using data to research user behavior and trends to develop new products, services, features, and functionality for the Website, aligned with the Home Exterior niche.
• To Protect Our Website: Detecting, preventing, and responding to fraud, abuse, security risks, and technical issues that could harm our Website, our users, or the public. Monitoring website activity to identify and prevent prohibited or illegal activities.
• To Enforce Our Terms and Conditions: Using information as necessary to enforce our Website’s Terms and Conditions, including investigating potential violations.
• To Comply with Legal Obligations: Using your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or governmental requests. Responding to subpoenas or court orders.
• For Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred or disclosed as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: We may use your information for any other purpose with your explicit consent or as otherwise disclosed to you at the time of collection.

Elaboration: Each use of data is intended to either provide the service you are seeking, improve the service for all users, ensure the security and stability of the platform, or communicate relevant information to you. For instance, collecting an email address through a contact form is used only to respond to that specific inquiry unless you also explicitly subscribe to a newsletter. Usage data analyzed in aggregate helps us understand which home exterior topics are most popular, informing our content creation.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (Relevant for GDPR and Similar Regulations)

For users located in regions that require a legal basis for processing personal data (such as the European Union under the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR), we process your personal information based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: We process your personal data when you have given us clear consent to do so for a specific purpose (e.g., subscribing to a newsletter, accepting certain types of cookies). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
• Performance of a Contract: We process your personal data when it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract (e.g., responding to a detailed inquiry about a service that may lead to a contract).
• Legitimate Interests: We process your personal data when it is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided that those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include:
  • Operating and improving our Website and services.
  • Understanding how users interact with our Website.
  • Providing relevant content related to the Home Exterior niche.
  • Ensuring the security and integrity of our systems.
  • Detecting and preventing fraudulent or illegal activity.
  • Marketing activities (where consent is not required or applicable).
  • Managing our business operations.
• Legal Obligation: We process your personal data when it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation that applies to us (e.g., responding to a legal request, maintaining records for tax purposes).
• Vital Interests: We may process your personal data when it is necessary to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another person (e.g., in a medical emergency). This basis is rarely applicable to a Home Exterior website.

Elaboration: We strive to identify the most appropriate legal basis for each processing activity. For most standard website usage (browsing, analytics without personal identifiers), Legitimate Interests is often the basis. For specific actions like newsletter sign-ups or submitting inquiries, Consent or Contract Performance are typically used. We aim for transparency about the legal basis whenever possible.

7. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties. We may share your information with third parties only in the following circumstances and for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:

• Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf to help us operate our Website and provide our services. These include providers of:
  • Website hosting and maintenance.
  • Analytics and data analysis (e.g., Google Analytics).
  • Email delivery services (for newsletters and communications).
  • Customer support tools.
  • Security services (e.g., spam filtering).
  • [Potentially, future providers for specific niche functions, e.g., project management if systems are integrated].
    These service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only for the specific services they provide to us and in accordance with our instructions and this Privacy Policy.
• Legal Requirements and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, in response to a subpoena or court order, or if we believe that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or property, protect the safety of our users or the public, or investigate suspected fraud or security issues.
• Business Transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or other transaction where a third party assumes control of all or part of our business, your information may be transferred to the new entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email and/or a prominent notice on our Website of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information with other third parties when you have given us your explicit consent to do so.
• Aggregated or De-identified Data: We may share information that has been aggregated or de-identified (so that it cannot be reasonably linked back to you) with third parties for various purposes, including research, analytics, or marketing. For example, we might share reports on the total number of website visitors or the popularity of certain home exterior content.

Elaboration: We are selective about who we share data with, and sharing is always done with a specific purpose that serves the functioning of the Website or compliance with law. We prioritize service providers who demonstrate strong privacy and security practices. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information for other companies’ marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

The specific retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose for which it is used:

• Information you provide directly: For information like contact details from inquiries, we retain it for a period sufficient to address your request and for record-keeping purposes (e.g., several years to comply with potential legal obligations), unless you request earlier deletion. Newsletter subscription data is kept until you unsubscribe.
• Usage Data: Analytics and usage data are typically retained for a period defined by our analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics data is subject to their retention settings, often configurable, but commonly retained for 26 months by default). Server logs are usually retained for a shorter period for security and troubleshooting.
• Cookies Data: Cookie data is retained until the cookie expires or is deleted by the user. Persistent cookies can remain for minutes, days, or years depending on their purpose.
• Legal/Compliance: We may retain certain information for longer periods if required by law or regulation, or if necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Elaboration: To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. Once data is no longer needed, we safely and securely delete or anonymize it.

9. Data Security

We have implemented a variety of security measures designed to protect your personal information from accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Technical Measures:
  • Using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our server.
  • Implementing firewalls and intrusion detection systems.
  • Regularly updating software and systems to patch security vulnerabilities.
  • Conducting regular security scans and assessments.
  • Implementing access controls to limit who can access your data based on their role and need.
  • Anonymizing or pseudonymizing data where feasible.
• Organizational Measures:
  • Training our staff on data protection and security awareness.
  • Establishing internal policies and procedures regarding data handling and security.
  • Limiting access to personal data to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They are subject to confidentiality obligations.
  • Using reputable third-party service providers with demonstrated security practices.

Elaboration: While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You also play a role in protecting your information; for example, if account features are introduced, choosing a strong password and not sharing it are important.

10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to enhance user experience, analyze website usage, and support some features. This section provides more detail about the specific types of cookies we may use and your choices regarding them.

Types of Cookies Used:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are essential for the Website to function properly. They enable core functionality like page navigation and access to secure areas of the Website. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies. They are usually set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences or filling in forms.
• Performance/Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Website, such as which pages are most visited, how long visitors stay on each page, and if they encounter any errors. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized and helps us understand and improve the performance of our Website. We may use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) that set their own cookies.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customize. The information these cookies collect may be anonymized, and they cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.
• Targeting/Advertising Cookies (Less likely for this niche unless specific partnerships): These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They are usually placed by advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and this information may be shared with other organizations, such as advertisers. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Note: This type of cookie is less common for a purely informational or showcase site in the Home Exterior niche unless specific ad partnerships are in place.
• Social Media Cookies: These cookies are set by social media services that we may have added to the site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks (e.g., share buttons). They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other websites you visit.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences:

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences through several methods:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually configure your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, block third-party cookies, or block all cookies. However, if you block all cookies (especially strictly necessary cookies), you may not be able to use some features of our Website.
  • Instructions for common browsers:
    • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Cookies and site data
    • Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
    • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
    • Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data / Cookies and site permissions
      (Note: The exact steps may vary slightly depending on your browser version).
• Cookie Consent Tool: We may implement a cookie banner or pop-up on our Website that allows you to manage your cookie preferences directly upon visiting the site. This tool provides granular control over different categories of cookies.
• Opt-Out Tools: Some third parties (like Google Analytics) provide their own opt-out mechanisms. For example, to opt-out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Website Specific Settings: Some websites offer specific settings to manage functional or targeting cookies used on that site.

Elaboration: Understanding and controlling how cookies are used is an important part of protecting your online privacy. We provide information on the types of cookies used and the available methods for managing them to empower you to make informed choices about your data. Please remember that withdrawing consent for certain non-essential cookies may affect your experience on the Website.

11. Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties that are not owned or controlled by tegar.fkumuhs.ac.id. We provide these links for your convenience or as references to external resources related to the Home Exterior niche.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, security practices, or conduct of any third-party websites or services. Once you leave our Website by clicking on a third-party link, this Privacy Policy is no longer in effect. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

Elaboration: Clicking on a link to an external website means you are subject to their privacy policy and data collection practices, not ours. We encourage caution and review of their policies before providing any personal information or extensive browsing.

12. Children’s Privacy (Applicable to users under 13 years old)

Our Website is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent.

If you are under 13 years old, please do not provide any personal information on this Website unsupervised. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child under 13 has provided personal information to us through the Website, please contact us immediately using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

Elaboration: Protecting the privacy of young children is particularly important. Our policy explicitly states that the site is not for children under 13, and outlines the process for parents to contact us if they suspect their child has provided information here.

13. International Data Transfers

Your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside [Assuming User’s Location, e.g., Indonesia] and choose to provide information to us, please note that we may transfer the data, including Personal Information, to [User’s Location, e.g., Indonesia] and process it there. While the primary location for fkumuhs.ac.id is likely related to Indonesia, website access is global, and service providers may process data internationally.

We take steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, even when transferred internationally. When transferring data outside of jurisdictions with strong data protection laws (like the EU/EEA), we rely on appropriate legal mechanisms such as:

• Transferring to countries that the European Commission has deemed to provide an adequate level of data protection.
• Using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or other relevant bodies, which require the recipient to protect personal data according to EU data protection standards.
• Relying on other legal bases for international transfers where applicable (e.g., your explicit consent, necessity for performance of a contract).

Elaboration: In a globally accessible internet, data often crosses borders. This section addresses that possibility and outlines the safeguards we intend to put in place to ensure data protection standards are maintained, which is important for users in different regions.

14. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR, CCPA – California Consumer Privacy Act, or similar regulations), you may have certain rights regarding your personal information that we hold. These rights may include:

• The Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that any inaccurate or incomplete personal information we hold about you is corrected or completed.
• The Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You have the right to request that we delete your personal information under certain conditions (e.g., the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing, or the data has been unlawfully processed).
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we limit the way we use your personal information under certain conditions (e.g., you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful, or you need the data for legal claims but we no longer need it).

• The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible.
• The Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are relying on your consent to process your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
• The Right to Complain to a Supervisory Authority: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you have concerns about how we process your personal information.
• For California Residents (CCPA):
  • The right to know what personal information is being collected about them.
