Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 19, 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Akropedia collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website and use our content and features. Our approach is simple: be clear, be kind, and be consistent. If anything here is unclear, please contact us and we will clarify it.

Who We Are

Akropedia is an editorial website focused on exercise, nutrition, weight loss, and yoga. We operate from Indonesia and may process data in other locations where our service providers are based. For questions about this Policy or your data, please reach out via our contact page.

Scope

This Policy applies to information collected through our website and any related pages we operate. It does not cover third-party websites or services that we do not control.

Information We Collect

We collect information to operate our site safely, improve content quality, and measure what is useful to readers.

• Information you provide: for example, your email address when you contact us.
• Usage data: standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and time spent on pages.
• Cookies and similar technologies: small text files and tags that help remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand engagement.

How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the website and its features.
• To respond to your messages and manage requests.
• To analyze readership and improve content relevance and performance.
• To support advertising and measurement in a manner consistent with your choices.
• To protect the website, prevent fraud and abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Legal Bases (where applicable)

Depending on your location, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent; performance of a contract; compliance with legal obligations; protection of vital interests; public interest; or our legitimate interests (for example, improving and securing the site) balanced against your rights and expectations.

Cookies and Controls

We use both session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a set period) for core site functions, preferences, analytics, and advertising support.

• Strictly necessary: required for site operation and security.
• Preferences and functionality: remember choices such as language.
• Analytics and performance: help us understand what is useful and improve readability.
• Advertising support: enables ad delivery and measurement, including frequency capping and reporting.

Your choices: you can manage cookies via your browser settings and through our on-site cookie banner when presented. If you block some cookies, certain features may not work as intended.

Advertising and Measurement

Our site displays advertising. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and improve ads and to reduce repetitive exposure. Depending on your region, you may be asked for consent for ad personalization. If you decline, you may still see ads, but they may be less relevant.

Your choices: where available, use the cookie banner to adjust ad consent settings. You can also contact us via /p/contact.html to request changes related to advertising preferences.

Analytics

We use analytics to understand aggregated site usage, diagnose technical issues, and guide editorial improvements. Analytics data is de-identified or aggregated whenever possible.

When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in limited circumstances:

• Service providers: trusted vendors who process data for hosting, security, analytics, or advertising support, under contracts that require confidentiality and appropriate safeguards.
• Legal compliance and safety: when required by law or to protect rights, security, and integrity of our users and the website.
• Business changes: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to continued protection consistent with this Policy.
• With your direction or consent: for example, when you ask us to share information to fulfill a request.

International Transfers

Information may be processed in countries other than where you live. When we transfer data, we use appropriate safeguards designed to protect your information in accordance with this Policy and applicable law.

Retention

We keep personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, including meeting legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Usage data used for analytics is retained for shorter periods unless needed for security, troubleshooting, or legal obligations.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; if we become aware of a security incident affecting your data, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable laws.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Accessing a copy of your personal information.
• Requesting correction or deletion.
• Objecting to or restricting certain processing.
• Withdrawing consent where processing is based on consent.
• Requesting portability of information you provided.
• Opting out of targeted advertising or the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, where these concepts apply.

To exercise these rights, contact us via /p/contact.html. We may need to verify your identity and location to process your request. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your region.

Children's Privacy

Our content is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where local law sets a higher age for consent, we follow that standard in the relevant jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided us information without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can take steps to remove it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a Do Not Track signal. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to such signals, our site may not respond to them. We continue to review developments and may update this approach.

Third-Party Links

Our site may reference third-party websites. If you visit those sites, their privacy policies and practices apply. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of sites we do not control.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of the page. In some cases, we may provide additional notice. Your continued use of the site after changes become effective means you accept the updated Policy.

Contact Us

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about this Policy or your information, please contact us via our contact page. We will do our best to respond promptly and helpfully.
