Privacy policy

• You can read eastjakarta.com without an account and without giving us any personal data.
• We do not run advertising and do not use advertising cookies.
• Analytics is optional: if we use it, we prefer cookieless tools, and anything that uses cookies runs only with your consent.
• When you click a partner link, the partner (via Travelpayouts) may set a cookie so a booking can be credited to us.
• If you email us or join our newsletter, we use your details only for that purpose.

eastjakarta.com is an independent travel guide to East Jakarta run by the eastjakarta.com team, who are responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach us about privacy through our contact page.

Basic technical data

Like any website, our hosting provider automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to deliver the site and keep it secure. These logs are kept for a limited period and are not used to identify you.

Analytics (optional)

We may use analytics to count visits and understand which pages are useful. Where we do, we prefer privacy-friendly tools that don't use cookies or track you across sites. If we ever use an analytics tool that sets cookies, it will only run after you agree, and you can change your mind at any time. We will update this page to name any analytics provider we use.

Emails you send us

If you contact us, we receive your email address, name (if you give it) and your message. We use these only to reply and, for corrections, to fix the page. We do not add you to any list.

Newsletter

If we offer a newsletter and you subscribe, we store your email address to send it, based on your consent. Every issue includes an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes you from the mailing list. If we use an email service provider to send it, they process your address on our behalf.

What we don't collect

We don't take bookings or payments on this site, so we never see your card details, passport information or travel itineraries. Those go directly to the partner you book with.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking affiliate cookies won't stop you booking; it only means we may not be credited.

Our partner buttons take you through Travelpayouts to partners such as Booking.com, Trip.com, Aviasales, GetYourGuide, Klook, Tiqets, Airalo, EKTA, Kiwitaxi, GetTransfer, Discover Cars and Economybookings. Once you leave our site, the partner's own privacy policy and cookie notice apply. We receive aggregated reports of clicks and commissions; we do not receive your name, contact details or payment information from partners. See our affiliate disclosure for the full list.

Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal data. If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, the GDPR applies. If you are in Indonesia, Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection (UU PDP) applies. In practice, you can ask us to:

• tell you whether we hold personal data about you and give you a copy;
• correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• delete your data, or stop or restrict how we process it;
• withdraw consent you have given, for example to the newsletter or analytics cookies, at any time;
• provide your data in a portable format where applicable;
• object to processing based on our legitimate interests.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority in your country. We'd appreciate the chance to resolve your concern first.

To make a request, contact us via our contact page. We may need to confirm your identity, and we aim to respond within the time limits set by the applicable law.

Legal bases: we rely on consent (newsletter, analytics cookies), on our legitimate interest in running and securing a website (technical logs) and in replying to messages you send us.

Retention: we keep emails only as long as needed to deal with them, newsletter addresses until you unsubscribe, and technical logs for a short period.

International transfers: our hosting, email and analytics providers may process data outside your country. Where that happens, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer as required by applicable law.

Children: the site is a general travel guide not aimed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

We'll update this policy when our practices change, for example if we add an analytics tool or launch a newsletter, and change the date at the top. For any privacy question, please use our contact page.
