Voice of Fighter (VOF) respects the privacy of people who visit vofnews.co, communicate with us or use services connected with the publication.

VOF is a media property operated by PT Tabooo Network Indonesia. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected through the website, why it may be processed, when it may be shared and the choices available to users.

By using vofnews.co, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.

This information may include your name, email address, organization, professional role, message content and other details you choose to provide.

Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for the specific communication.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit vofnews.co, certain technical information may be collected automatically by the website, hosting infrastructure or authorized service providers.

Depending on the technologies in use, this may include:

• device type;
• operating system;
• approximate location derived from technical data;
• pages viewed;
• referring page or website;
• time and date of access;
• interaction with website features;
• cookie or similar identifiers.

This information can help VOF understand website performance, audience behavior, security issues and how readers discover or use the publication.

2. How We Use Information

VOF may process information for purposes including:

• operating and maintaining vofnews.co;
• responding to messages and inquiries;
• handling correction requests;
• delivering newsletters or other requested communications;
• understanding audience behavior;
• measuring article and website performance;

• protecting the website against fraud, abuse or security threats;
• managing commercial, advertising or media partnerships;
• administering events, applications or other services;
• complying with applicable legal obligations;
• establishing, exercising or defending legal rights.

Information should not be collected merely because technology makes collection possible. Its use should have a legitimate operational, editorial, security, analytical or commercial purpose.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

VOF may use cookies and comparable technologies to operate website functions, remember preferences, measure traffic and understand how readers interact with the site.

Cookies may be placed by VOF or by third-party services integrated with vofnews.co.

Depending on the website configuration, cookies may support:

• essential website functions;
• analytics;
• performance measurement;
• user preferences;
• advertising;
• embedded media;
• security.

Where required, visitors may be given controls to accept, reject or manage non-essential cookies.

Browser settings may also allow users to block or delete cookies. However, disabling certain technologies can affect website functionality.

4. Analytics

VOF may use analytics services to understand how the website is being used.

Analytics can provide information such as readership volume, popular pages, referral channels, device categories and general patterns of interaction.

These measurements help assess editorial reach, improve website performance and understand which parts of VOF are useful to readers.

Where third-party analytics providers are used, their processing may also be governed by their own privacy policies.

5. Advertising

VOF may display advertising or work with advertising technology providers.

These services may use cookies, device information or similar technologies to measure advertising delivery, frequency, performance or relevance.

Advertising relationships do not give advertisers access to VOF’s editorial decision-making.

Where legally required, consent or other appropriate controls should be provided before non-essential advertising technologies are activated.

6. Newsletter and Email Communications

If you subscribe to a VOF newsletter or request another recurring communication, information such as your email address may be used to deliver that service.

VOF may also use an authorized email service provider to manage distribution.

You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter communications through the unsubscribe mechanism provided in those messages.

Operational communications connected with a specific request, transaction or legal obligation may still be sent when necessary.

7. Contact Forms and Correspondence

Messages sent through VOF contact forms, email channels or other designated communication systems may be retained when necessary to:

• respond to the sender;
• maintain editorial records;
• process corrections;
• manage business correspondence;
• document agreements;
• address disputes;
• meet legal or administrative requirements.

Information submitted as part of journalism, source communication or editorial correspondence may require different handling from ordinary website data.

VOF will consider confidentiality commitments and journalistic responsibilities where applicable.

8. Journalism and Source Information

VOF’s work involves reporting, interviews, documentation and communication with sources.

Information collected for journalistic purposes may be handled differently from ordinary audience or customer information where applicable law recognizes journalistic activity, freedom of expression, public-interest reporting or source protection.

Confidentiality is not assumed automatically.

Any agreement concerning on the record, background, deep background or off-the-record communication should be established between the journalist and the source.

9. Third-Party Content and Embedded Services

Articles may include or link to services operated by third parties, including:

• video platforms;
• social networks;
• event or ticketing platforms;
• statistics or data services;
• maps;
• advertising providers;
• newsletter platforms;
• other external websites.

Those services may collect information independently when users interact with their content.

VOF does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites or platforms. Users should review the relevant provider’s privacy terms when using those services.

10. External Links

VOF articles may link to promotions, federations, organizations, government bodies, research institutions, businesses and other publishers for context or verification.

Following an external link takes you to a service governed by that site’s own policies.

A link from VOF does not mean that VOF controls the destination’s collection or use of personal information.

11. Sharing of Information

VOF may share information with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the publication.

These may include providers involved in:

• website hosting;
• security;
• analytics;
• email delivery;
• advertising;
• data storage;
• technical support;
• payment or commercial administration;
• professional legal, accounting or compliance services.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal processes, investigate misuse, protect rights or address security concerns.

VOF does not treat personal information collected from readers as a commodity to be sold indiscriminately.

12. Data Retention

Information is retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including operational, editorial, contractual, security, accounting or legal requirements.

Different categories of information may require different retention periods.

Where information is no longer reasonably required, VOF may delete, anonymize or otherwise dispose of it subject to applicable obligations.

13. Data Security

VOF takes reasonable organizational and technical measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss or disclosure.

No website, server, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For that reason, users should consider the sensitivity of information before transmitting it electronically.

14. International Processing

Some service providers used by VOF may operate infrastructure outside Indonesia.

As a result, information may be processed or stored in another jurisdiction where permitted.

When cross-border processing occurs, VOF should use providers and safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and applicable legal requirements.

15. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of processing, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the ability to request:

• access to certain personal information;
• correction of inaccurate information;
• deletion where legally available;
• withdrawal of consent;
• restriction of certain processing;
• information about how data is being used.

Some requests may be limited where information must be retained for legal, security, contractual or legitimate journalistic purposes.

Requests can be submitted through the appropriate channel listed on the VOF Contact page.

16. Children’s Privacy

VOF is a general-audience media publication and is not designed specifically as a service for children.

Where features involving minors are introduced, additional safeguards may be applied as required by the nature of the service and applicable law.

17. Editorial Records and Privacy Requests

Privacy rights and editorial responsibilities can sometimes intersect.

A request concerning information contained in published journalism, archives, reporting records or source material may require consideration of:

• accuracy;
• freedom of expression;
• public interest;
• journalistic obligations;
• source protection;
• legal requirements;
• the integrity of the historical record.

A request to remove information does not automatically require VOF to delete accurate and lawfully published journalism.

Each material request should be assessed on its circumstances.

18. Changes to This Policy

VOF may revise this Privacy Policy as its website, services, technology or legal responsibilities change.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated revision date.

Material changes may receive additional notice where appropriate.

19. Contact

Questions about this Privacy Policy or the handling of personal information can be submitted through the official Contact VOF channel on vofnews.co.

For requests concerning published factual errors, please use the Corrections process where appropriate.
