Scope of Policy Application
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal data we collect, use, and process from you as a user of our website and/or a customer.
Our website may feature links or integrations with third-party websites. Please be aware that we do not operate these external sites, and therefore, we assume no responsibility for their content, services, or data privacy practices. These third-party sites are governed by their own distinct privacy and cookie policies.

We collect personal data through the following interactions:
- Direct Interactions: Information is collected when you complete forms on our website (e.g., visa application forms, contact forms) or communicate with our Customer Service team via chat, email (info@onlinevisaindonesia.com), or telephone.
- Automated Technologies: We may automatically gather data such as your IP address, visited pages, and session duration using cookies (both first-party and third-party).
- Payment Information: Upon completion of your visa application and acceptance of our Terms and Conditions, you will be directed to a secure payment gateway. Your payment details are securely transmitted to our certified payment service providers for transaction authorization. We do not store or access your complete credit or debit card information. It is imperative that you provide payment details exclusively through authorized channels on our website.
We limit our collection of personal data to what is strictly necessary for the purposes outlined below. By providing any information beyond what is explicitly requested, you consent to its processing for the communicated purpose.
You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy, currency, and completeness of the personal data and private information you submit, particularly for visa applications or support requests. We disclaim responsibility for any issues arising from inaccurate, incomplete, or fraudulent information provided by you.
If you provide us with personal data pertaining to third parties (including minors), you warrant that you have informed them of our data processing practices and obtained their prior, explicit consent for sharing their information with us. If you provide a minor's personal data, you affirm that you are their parent or legal guardian.

We process your personal data only when a valid legal basis exists. In most cases, the legal bases include:

Data Retention Period
We retain your personal data only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Subsequently, your personal data will be securely archived (blocked) for any mandatory legal or claims-related retention periods. This includes, for example, compliance with legal obligations, resolution of potential service claims, investigation of detected fraudulent activity, or retention of cookie information unless consent is withdrawn. Once the required retention period concludes, your personal data will be securely deleted from our information systems.
If you have granted consent for specific data processing, please note that you may withdraw this consent at any time. Upon receipt of your withdrawal request, we will proceed with the deletion of your personal data.
Data Sharing Practices
Your personal data may be processed and/or shared under the following circumstances:
- Government Authorities: Shared with the government of your destination country, as they are the competent authority responsible for approving or denying visa applications.
- Payment Service Providers: Shared with our payment service providers to process transaction payments and conduct fraud controls, and with your bank or credit/debit card company if you initiate a charge dispute.
- Technology Service Providers: Shared with third-party providers who host our information systems or offer us technological tools and support.
- Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Shared to comply with our legal obligations and when required by administrative, judicial, and/or police authorities in accordance with applicable law.
- Protection of Legitimate Interests: Shared to protect our legitimate interests in the event of potential claims concerning the professional services we provide.
Some of the aforementioned third parties may be located outside the European Economic Area, which could involve international data transfers. In such cases, we ensure that personal data is transferred only to recipients in countries offering comparable data protection standards or, alternatively, we implement appropriate safeguards as required by current data protection laws to ensure the privacy and security of your personal data and to guarantee your individual rights and freedoms.
Data Security Measures
Your personal data is securely stored within our information systems. We have implemented robust technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your data, protecting it against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Furthermore, we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that all our personnel, suppliers, and partners who have access to your personal data receive adequate information and training regarding their obligations concerning the processing of our users' and/or customers' personal data for the specific purposes previously mentioned.
While we strive to ensure the protection of your personal data transmitted via our website and through other means such as email or phone, please be mindful of taking your own precautions to maintain data security. For example, avoid entering or confirming banking details through suspicious messages or unauthorized websites.
