Welcome to Zemedia. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal data with care, transparency, and security. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. It applies to visitors and users who access zemedia.biz.id and any related pages (the "Site").
Who We Are
Zemedia is a travel publication. For the purposes of data protection laws, we are the data controller for personal data processed via the Site.

We collect information in three ways:
- Information you provide: for example, your name, email address, and message content when you contact us or submit a form.
- Information collected automatically: device and usage data such as IP address, browser and device type, language, approximate location, referring and exit pages, timestamps, and interactions with the Site. This may be captured through server logs and similar technologies.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files or identifiers stored on your device to make the Site work, measure performance, remember preferences, and support advertising. See the "Cookies and Similar Technologies" section below.
How We Use Information
We use personal data to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
- Respond to inquiries and provide support.
- Measure performance, diagnose issues, and prevent fraud or abuse.
- Personalize content and user experience where applicable.

Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)
If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process personal data only when one or more of the following bases apply:
- Consent: for example, non-essential cookies and certain marketing.
- Contract: to provide requested content or features.
- Legitimate interests: such as security, fraud prevention, analytics, and improving the Site, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligation: where processing is necessary to comply with the law.
Advertising and Analytics
We may work with advertising and analytics partners (for example, ad networks and measurement providers). These partners may set cookies or use identifiers to deliver ads, limit ad frequency, measure performance, and help keep services free. We do not control third-party technologies, and their practices are governed by their own policies.
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies for advertising or analytics. You can change your choices at any time using the controls described in "Your Choices and Rights" below.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary: required for core functionality and security.
- Performance and analytics: help us understand how the Site is used to improve content and features.
- Functionality: remember preferences such as language or region.
- Advertising: deliver and measure ads and limit frequency where applicable.
You can manage cookies via your browser settings and, where available, our on-site cookie controls. If you block or delete cookies, some features of the Site may not work as intended.
We make reasonable efforts to recognize certain browser-based privacy signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with:
- Service providers that help us operate the Site (for example, hosting, security, analytics) under contracts that protect your data.
- Advertising and measurement partners to support ad delivery and performance measurement as described above.
- Legal and safety recipients when required by law, to protect our rights, or to investigate fraud, security issues, or abuse.
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or other change of control, subject to appropriate safeguards.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. When we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on data type and context.
Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal data, including:
- Accessing a copy of your data.
- Requesting correction or deletion.
- Restricting or objecting to certain processing.
- Data portability.
- Withdrawing consent, where processing is based on consent.
- Opting out of targeted advertising or the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information where those concepts apply.

If we decline your request as permitted by law, you may have the right to appeal by replying to our decision. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
