This page explains what happens to your information when you visit mamangdigital.com. It’s written to be read, not to be skimmed past, so it names the actual services this site uses rather than hiding behind phrases like “our trusted partners”.
Who Runs This Site
Mamang Digital is an independent blog written and operated by Isna Rimayana, a lecturer in Informatics Engineering based in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia. It isn’t a company and it has no staff. When this policy says “we”, it means one person.
For anything relating to your data, write to admin@mamangdigital.com. That inbox is read by the site owner directly.
What We Collect
Start with what we don’t collect, because it’s the shorter list. This site has no user accounts, no login area, no shop, and no newsletter. We never ask for your name, your address, your phone number, or any payment details, and there’s nowhere on the site you could enter them.
Information you choose to give us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write in the message. We use it to reply to you and for nothing else.
If you leave a comment on an article, WordPress stores the name and email address you type in, your comment text, and the IP address your browser connected from. The IP address is recorded by WordPress automatically as a spam-prevention measure. Your name and comment become publicly visible. Your email address does not.
Information collected automatically
Like every website on the internet, this one sits behind a web server that keeps access logs. Those logs typically record your IP address, the page you requested, the date and time, your browser and operating system, and the page that referred you. This happens whether or not you interact with anything, and it’s how the server works rather than a choice we made.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store, so that something can be remembered between page loads. Two different kinds land on this site, and they come from different places.
Our own cookies are minimal. WordPress sets a cookie only if you leave a comment and tick the box asking it to remember your details for next time. If you never comment, this site sets no first-party cookies of its own.
Third-party cookies come from the services listed further down, mainly advertising and analytics. We don’t control what those cookies contain or how long they last, which is why each service below links to its own policy.
You can delete cookies or block them entirely from your browser’s settings, and doing so won’t break this site. Nothing here depends on a cookie to display correctly.
Advertising
This site is supported by advertising served through Google AdSense. Where ads appear, the following applies:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or to other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising through aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Opting out stops ads being personalised. It doesn’t stop ads appearing. You’ll still see them, they’ll just be chosen from context rather than from your browsing history.
We have no visibility into which specific ad you were shown or why. That decision is made entirely by Google’s systems.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which articles get read and where readers arrive from. It sets cookies and collects information about your visit, including a truncated version of your IP address.
We look at this as aggregate numbers, not as individuals. There is no report we can open that tells us who you are, and we have never tried to identify a specific reader.
Google also provides Search Console, which shows us the search queries that led people here. That data reaches us already aggregated and anonymised, and it involves no cookie on your browser.
If you’d rather not be counted, Google publishes a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across every site that uses it.
Third Parties Involved
These are the services that can receive data about your visit, and what each one is for.
| Service | What it does here | Its policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdSense | Serves the ads | How Google uses data |
| Google Analytics | Counts visits and pageviews | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google Search Console | Reports search performance | Google Privacy Policy |
| Web hosting provider | Stores the site and keeps server logs | See host’s own policy |
We don’t sell your data. We don’t trade it, rent it, or hand it to anyone beyond the services above. The only circumstance in which we would disclose information is a valid legal demand from an authority with jurisdiction over us, which has never happened.
Why We’re Allowed to Process This Data
This site is operated from Indonesia and falls under Law No. 27 of 2022 on Personal Data Protection, which has been fully enforceable since 17 October 2024. Because the site is written in English and read internationally, we also apply the standards of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation to readers in those regions, and the California Consumer Privacy Act to readers in California.
Where a legal basis is required, ours is one of three:
- Consent, for advertising and analytics cookies where the law in your region requires it to be asked for.
- Legitimate interest, for server logs and spam prevention, without which the site can’t be kept online or usable.
- Your own request, when you email us or post a comment and we process what you sent in order to respond to it.
How Long Things Are Kept
Comments and their metadata stay for as long as the article they’re attached to remains published, unless you ask us to remove them.
Emails you send us are kept for as long as the conversation is useful, and deleted when it isn’t.
Server log retention is set by the hosting provider and is typically measured in weeks.
Data held by Google under its own systems is governed by Google’s retention schedules, not ours. We can’t shorten or extend them.
Your Rights
Wherever you’re reading from, you can ask us to show you what personal data we hold about you, correct it if it’s wrong, delete it, or stop using it. Under Indonesia’s PDP Law, EU and UK GDPR, and the CCPA, these rights differ in their fine detail, but our answer is the same in every case: email admin@mamangdigital.com and we’ll act on it.
Be realistic about what’s actually there, though. For most readers the honest answer is that we hold nothing about you at all, because you’ve never commented and never emailed. In that case there’s nothing to show you and nothing to delete, and we’ll tell you so.
We aim to respond within 30 days. There’s no charge for making a request, and we won’t treat you differently for making one.
For data held by Google rather than by us, you’ll need to go to Google directly through your Google Account controls. We have no ability to reach into their systems on your behalf.
Links to Other Sites
Our articles link out constantly, to Google’s documentation, to WordPress.org, to hosting providers and tools we’re discussing. Once you click one of those links you’re on someone else’s site, under someone else’s policy, and this one no longer applies. We check that the pages we link to are relevant and legitimate. We can’t vouch for how they handle your data.
Some outbound links may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a commission if you buy something after clicking. This never costs you extra and it never changes what we recommend. Where a link is an affiliate link, it’s marked as such in the article itself.
Children
This site is written for adults building websites and isn’t aimed at children. Indonesia’s PDP Law requires parental consent before processing a child’s personal data, and we don’t knowingly collect anything from anyone under 18.
If you’re a parent and believe your child has sent us information, email us and we’ll delete it.
Security
The site runs over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and the server is encrypted. Software is kept updated and administrative access is protected.
What we won’t do is claim your data is perfectly safe, because no website can promise that honestly. What we can say is that there’s very little here worth stealing: no passwords belonging to readers, no payment details, no identity documents.
Where Your Data Goes
The services above are operated by companies based mainly in the United States, and the data they collect is processed on servers outside Indonesia and outside the European Economic Area. Google states that it relies on Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent safeguards for these transfers. By using this site you accept that your information may be processed in those countries.
Changes to This Policy
When something about this site changes in a way that affects your data, this page gets updated and the date at the top changes with it. We don’t quietly rewrite it and leave the old date sitting there.
