Privacy Policy

Thank you for spending your time with Tepi Media. We keep things simple: collect only what we need, handle it with care, and give you clear choices. This Privacy Policy was last updated on September 14, 2025.

On this page, we explain what we collect, why we collect it, when we share it, and how you can exercise your rights. We write in plain language so you always know where you stand.

Overview

Tepi Media respects your privacy and your attention. We aim to operate with clarity and restraint—only collecting data that helps the site work, improve, and stay secure.

We never sell personal information. Where laws define “share” for targeted advertising, we only do so with your consent and consistent with applicable requirements.

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to the website operated as “Tepi Media” and any features we provide, including newsletters, contact forms, and interactive components.

It does not cover third-party sites or services that may be referenced from time to time. Please review their policies directly.

Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: what you share with us, what is collected automatically when you use the site, and what partners report in aggregate. We keep collection proportionate to purpose.

Below is a practical view of those categories, so you can understand the flow of information at a glance.

1. Information You Provide

When you reach out or participate, we receive only what you choose to send.

• Contact details sent via forms (e.g., name, email, message content).
• Newsletter sign-ups (email address and stated preferences).
• Comments or submissions you post, including your chosen display name and time of posting.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Some data is collected automatically to keep the site reliable, secure, and useful.

• Usage data such as IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referrer/exit pages, timestamps, and approximate location derived from IP.
• Cookies or similar technologies to operate core features, remember preferences, measure performance, and—where enabled—personalize content or ads.

3. Information From Partners

We may receive high-level, aggregated insights that help us improve content and performance.

• Analytics and advertising partners provide aggregate or pseudonymous metrics to understand engagement trends and ad effectiveness.

How We Use Information

We use information to make Tepi Media work as expected and to improve it responsibly.

• Operate and maintain the site, including troubleshooting and security monitoring.
• Communicate with you about content and replies to your inquiries.
• Personalize certain experiences where supported and consented.
• Measure and improve performance, relevance, and usability.
• Protect readers, the site, and our rights, and comply with legal obligations.

We apply data minimization and purpose limitation—collecting only what is necessary and using it for clearly defined reasons.

Legal Bases (EEA/UK)

Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we process personal data under one or more lawful bases: consent, performance of a contract, legitimate interests (e.g., security, measurement, improvement), or compliance with legal obligations.

You can withdraw consent at any time through available controls, without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies to operate the site and, where enabled, optional cookies for analytics, preferences, and advertising. Your browser or any consent banner we provide lets you manage these choices.

If you block certain cookies, parts of the site may not function properly. You can usually clear or disable cookies in your browser settings.

Advertising and Analytics

Tepi Media may use third-party solutions for analytics and advertising, including interest-based advertising. These services may set or read cookies and similar identifiers to measure performance and, where permitted, personalize ads.

Where required by law, we request your consent before using non-essential cookies or showing personalized ads. You can adjust your preferences via your browser and any consent banner we provide.

When We Share Information

We share information only when necessary and with safeguards.

• Service providers for hosting, analytics, security, email delivery, and similar operations—bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
• Legal and safety when required by law or to protect individuals, our readers, or our rights.
• Business changes in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to protections consistent with this Policy.

We do not sell personal information. Where “share” for targeted advertising is defined by law, we only do so with your consent and consistent with applicable requirements.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described here, including compliance with legal obligations, dispute resolution, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods vary by data type and context. When data is no longer needed, we aim to delete or de-identify it safely.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. While we work to safeguard your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Transfers

We may process data in countries other than the one where you reside. When we transfer personal data internationally, we implement appropriate safeguards.

Depending on the region, safeguards may include standard contractual clauses or comparable mechanisms recognized by applicable law.

Children's Privacy

Our content is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Privacy Rights

Your rights depend on where you live and the laws that apply. Subject to limits, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; and request data portability.

Below are region-specific notes that complement your general rights.

EEA/UK (GDPR)

You may exercise the rights above and have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents may have rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. We do not sell personal information. Where “sharing” for cross-context advertising applies, you can opt out via available controls.

Indonesia (PDP Law)

Data subjects may have rights to access, correction, deletion, withdrawal of consent, and complaint mechanisms under applicable law.

Exercising Your Rights

To make a privacy request, please reach us through our site’s contact page and include enough information for us to verify your identity and your request.

We will respond within the time frames required by applicable law and provide reasons if we cannot fulfill a request in full.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers send Do Not Track signals, and some extensions enable Global Privacy Control. Where feasible and legally required, we aim to respect such signals for applicable opt-out rights.

Because industry standards continue to evolve, our handling of these signals may change as guidance becomes more consistent.

Third-Party Links

The site may reference third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to review their policies directly.

We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of third-party sites.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. We will post the updated version on this page.

When changes are significant, we may also provide a more prominent notice within the site.
