Komodo Yacht is an independent travel information website covering Komodo National Park, Labuan Bajo, Flores, and surrounding destinations. This policy explains what information the website collects, how it is used, and who else may process it.
Komodo Yacht is an information site. It does not sell or arrange charters, tours, tickets, or accommodation, and it does not take bookings of any kind.
Information you provide
You can use this website without giving us any personal information. Two features collect information directly, and both are optional.
The contact form asks for your name, email address, and message, and lets you add a subject if you want to. You choose what to put in the message.
Comments ask for your name, email address, and website address, all of which are required to leave a comment. Your comment itself, your name, and your website address may be published on the site once approved. Your email address is not published.
There is no file upload on this site, and there is nothing to sign up for. The website does not offer public accounts, registration, or member profiles, and visitors cannot create user accounts.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this one may receive technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser and device information, and details of the pages you request. This information may be used for purposes such as security, spam prevention, comment moderation, analytics, and general website administration.
Some of this information is processed by the third-party services described below, each under its own privacy policy.
Comments
Comments are moderated. A comment is reviewed before it appears on the site.
When you leave a comment, the information you enter is stored on the website, along with your IP address and browser information. If you tick the option to save your name, email address, and website in your browser, that preference is stored in your browser so the fields are filled in next time.
Comments are retained as long as necessary for legitimate website, editorial, moderation, security, or record-keeping purposes, subject to deletion or moderation when requested or when no longer required.
Profile images. This website uses Gravatar, a service provided by Automattic, to display profile images alongside comments. Where this feature is used, information associated with a commenter’s email address may be processed by Automattic to provide the relevant image. Automattic’s own privacy policy applies to that processing.
Spam protection
This website uses Akismet, a spam-filtering service provided by Automattic, to help identify spam in comments and contact form submissions. Information associated with a submission may be sent to Akismet for analysis. This may include the content of the submission, the information entered with it, your IP address, and browser information, along with other information needed to detect spam. Automattic’s own privacy policy applies to that processing.
The contact form also uses a hidden field to catch automated submissions. This website does not use a CAPTCHA.
Contact form
The contact form is provided by WPForms. Submissions are not stored in the website’s database. When you send the form, the information is delivered as an email to the website’s administrator address, which is on the komodoyacht.com domain and hosted through the website’s hosting mail service.
This means the email is the only copy of your message. It may remain in that mailbox for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with your enquiry and for legitimate record-keeping.
Cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes including:
- making the website work and remembering your preferences
- remembering comment details, if you choose that option
- measuring how the website is used
- advertising, including personalised advertising where applicable
- security and spam prevention
Some cookies are set by this website and some by the third-party services described below. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling some of them may affect how parts of the site work.
Consent
This website uses Google’s AdSense Privacy & Messaging to manage consent for advertising and related technologies. Messages covering European regulations and United States state regulations are both active.
When you first visit, you are shown a message with options to accept, reject, or manage your choices. The website remains usable if you reject.
If you want to change a choice you have already made, please contact us through our Contact Us page. You may also be able to reset stored choices by clearing this website’s cookies in your browser settings.
Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4, implemented through the Site Kit by Google plugin, to understand how the site is used.
Google Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, interactions and events on the site, browser and device information, approximate location information, and technical identifiers. The following settings are enabled on this website: enhanced measurement, conversion tracking, Google Signals, and granular location and device data collection. Advertising personalisation is permitted, which means analytics information may also be used for advertising purposes.
Google Analytics data is retained by Google according to the settings configured for this website: event data for approximately two months and user data for approximately fourteen months, with retention reset on new activity from the same user.
Google processes this information under its own privacy policy and terms. Komodo Yacht does not control how Google processes it.
Advertising
This website displays advertising through Google AdSense, and personalised advertising is permitted.
Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, advertising identifiers, and similar technologies to serve advertisements, measure how they perform, manage how often you see them, and personalise them where applicable. Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies or use similar technologies on this website.
This website also uses Google’s ad blocking recovery feature.
You can review and adjust your Google advertising settings through Google’s own ads settings, and you can find more information about how Google uses information from sites that use its services in Google’s privacy and advertising documentation. Komodo Yacht does not control Google’s processing of this information.
Embedded content and third-party features
Pages on this website may contain embedded content or features from third-party platforms, including YouTube, Google Maps, and social media services. Embedded content behaves as though you had visited that provider’s own website.
If embedded content loads or you interact with it, the relevant provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information, and details of your interaction. Each provider does this under its own privacy policy.
The fonts used on this website are hosted locally, so your browser does not need to request those font files from Google’s external font servers.
Hosting, security, and backups
This website is hosted on EasyWP, which provides the hosting infrastructure, security features, and backup functionality.
Technical information, including IP addresses and browser information, may be processed for purposes such as security monitoring, threat detection, abuse prevention, website administration, and backup and restoration. This website uses MalwareGuardian for malware monitoring and a web application firewall. Backups are handled by EasyWP’s built-in backup functionality and may include website content such as comments.
Server logs and backups are retained by the hosting provider according to its own practices.
Who else may process your information
Depending on how you use the website and which features you interact with, information may be processed by:
- Google – analytics, advertising, consent messaging, and embedded YouTube and Maps content
- Automattic – Akismet spam filtering and Gravatar profile images
- EasyWP – hosting, security, and backups
- Social media platforms – where embedded content or features from those platforms are present
Each of these processes information according to its own privacy policy and terms. This website does not sell your personal information, and it does not use affiliate tracking or redirect tracking.
How long information is kept
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to enquiries, moderation, security, website administration, analytics, advertising, and legitimate record-keeping.
Specific points where they are known:
- Comments are retained as long as necessary for legitimate website, editorial, moderation, security, or record-keeping purposes, subject to deletion or moderation when requested or when no longer required.
- Contact form submissions are not stored in the website’s database. The notification email may remain in the hosting mailbox for as long as reasonably necessary.
- Google Analytics retains event data for approximately two months and user data for approximately fourteen months, as configured for this website.
- Server logs and backups are retained according to the hosting provider’s practices.
- Information held by third-party services is retained according to those services’ own policies.
Your privacy choices and rights
Depending on where you are and which laws apply to you, you may have rights over your personal information. These can include the right to access it, correct it, ask for it to be deleted, restrict or object to how it is used, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Not every right applies in every place, and some may be limited by other obligations.
If you want to make a request, or ask anything about this policy, please contact us through our Contact Us page. We may need to ask you for information to confirm which comment or message you are referring to.
You can also manage cookies through your browser settings, and adjust advertising personalisation through Google’s own ads settings.
Children
This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information through the comment form or contact form, please contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website’s technology or services change, when privacy practices change, or when legal requirements change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
