Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 31, 2026
Welcome to my personal website.
This Privacy Policy explains how Gusti Azis (“I”, “me”, “my”, or the “Site Owner”) may collect, use, store, disclose, and otherwise process personal information when you access or use this website.
This website is a personal portfolio and creative technology space. It may showcase professional work, software projects, creative technology, technical writing, case studies, experiments, prototypes, research, and other related work.
I respect your privacy and aim to handle personal information responsibly. The information actually collected depends on how you use the website and which features or third-party services are enabled at the relevant time.
1. Scope of This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through this website and its features.
The website may contain links to external websites, repositories, APIs, social platforms, documentation, hosting services, and other third-party resources.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, services, or platforms that I do not control. Your use of those services is subject to their own privacy policies, terms, and practices.
Where a particular project, service, or feature has its own privacy notice, additional privacy terms may apply to that specific activity.

The website may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for functionality, security, analytics, preferences, or other website operations.
Cookies are small pieces of information that may be stored on your device by a website.
Where cookies or similar technologies are used, they may be associated with information such as:

5. User-Submitted Content
Some website features may allow visitors to submit messages, comments, feedback, files, images, code, or other material.
You remain responsible for the information and content you choose to submit.
When you submit information through a website feature, I may process it only as reasonably necessary to:
- Operate the relevant feature
- Store and transmit the submission
- Review or respond to the submission
- Moderate or remove inappropriate submissions
- Protect the website and its users

6. Legal Bases for Processing
Where applicable privacy law requires a legal basis for processing personal information, the applicable basis may include:
- Your consent
- Performance of a request or interaction initiated by you
- Compliance with a legal obligation
- Legitimate interests in operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the website
- Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims
- Other lawful bases available under applicable law
The appropriate legal basis depends on the particular processing activity and the law applicable to you.
Where processing is based on consent, you may have the right to withdraw that consent, subject to applicable law and any consequences of doing so.
7. Analytics
The website may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with the website and to identify technical or usability issues.
Where analytics are enabled, information may include:
- Pages visited
- General usage patterns
- Device or browser information
- Referring information
- Approximate geographic information
- Technical information
- Interaction and performance information
Analytics may involve third-party service providers.
If a third-party analytics service is used, that provider may process information according to its own privacy policy and terms.
The specific analytics services enabled on the website may change over time.
8. Hosting and Infrastructure Providers
The website may be hosted using third-party infrastructure or hosting providers.
Hosting and infrastructure providers may process information necessary to:
- Deliver website content
- Establish network connections
- Maintain server operations
- Detect and prevent abuse
- Monitor availability and performance
- Maintain security
- Diagnose technical problems
This may include IP addresses, request information, server logs, timestamps, and other technical information.

9. Third-Party Services
The website may use or integrate with third-party services, including:
- Hosting providers
- Analytics providers
- APIs
- Content-delivery services
- Software services
- Embedded media
- Social platforms
- External repositories
- Documentation platforms
- Other infrastructure or technology providers
These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.
I do not control the privacy practices of third-party services.
Where a third-party service is responsible for processing personal information under its own terms, you should review that provider's privacy documentation before using the relevant feature or service.
10. External Links
This website may contain links to external websites, repositories, APIs, social platforms, documentation, and other third-party resources.
Following an external link may cause you to leave this website and interact directly with another service.
I am not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or data-handling practices of external websites or services.
You should review the privacy policy of the relevant third party before providing personal information to it.
11. Information Sharing and Disclosure
I do not sell your personal information merely because you visit or use this personal website.
Personal information may nevertheless be disclosed where reasonably necessary for purposes such as:
- Operating the website
- Providing website functionality
- Hosting and infrastructure
- Analytics
- Security and fraud prevention
- Responding to your requests
- Complying with legal obligations
- Protecting rights, property, or safety
- Establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims
- Using service providers that process information on my behalf
I may also disclose information where required or permitted by applicable law.
Where reasonably possible and appropriate, disclosures will be limited to the information necessary for the relevant purpose.
12. Data Retention
I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
Retention periods may depend on:
- The nature of the information
- The reason it was collected
- Whether an ongoing relationship or communication exists
- Legal or regulatory obligations
- Security and fraud-prevention requirements
- The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
- Technical requirements of hosting or third-party services
Server logs, security records, communications, submissions, and other information may therefore have different retention periods.
Where information is no longer reasonably necessary, I may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and technical requirements.
13. Data Security
I take reasonable measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss, misuse, or destruction.
Depending on the relevant system, these measures may include:
- Access controls
- Authentication mechanisms
- Secure communications
- Security monitoring
- Software and dependency updates
- Server and infrastructure protections
- Reasonable data-minimization practices
- Other technical and organizational safeguards
However, no internet-connected system, transmission, storage method, or security measure can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Accordingly, I cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information.
14. International Data Transfers
Because the website may rely on third-party hosting, infrastructure, analytics, APIs, or other services, personal information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country in which you are located.
Where applicable law imposes requirements concerning international transfers of personal information, I will take reasonable steps required by that law.
The privacy practices and locations of third-party providers may change over time.
15. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
These rights may include, where applicable:
- The right to request access to personal information
- The right to request correction of inaccurate information
- The right to request deletion of personal information
- The right to request restriction of processing
- The right to object to certain processing
- The right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- The right to request portability of certain information
- The right to lodge a complaint with an applicable privacy or data-protection authority
These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions, limitations, or verification requirements.
The rights available to you depend on the applicable law and the circumstances of the processing.
16. How to Exercise Your Rights
If you would like to ask about your personal information or exercise a privacy right, you may contact me using the information provided below.
Please provide enough information for me to understand your request and, where reasonably necessary, verify your identity.
I may need to request additional information to protect against unauthorized requests involving another person's personal information.
I will consider and respond to valid requests in accordance with applicable law.
17. Children's Privacy
This website is not specifically directed toward children.
I do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children through this website.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact me so that I can consider appropriate steps in accordance with applicable law.
18. Sensitive and Confidential Information
Please do not submit sensitive, confidential, or highly personal information through the website unless it is necessary and you have been expressly instructed that the relevant feature is appropriate for that information.
In particular, you should not submit passwords, credentials, security keys, confidential business information, trade secrets, or other information that you are not authorized to disclose.
The website's contact and submission features should not be treated as a secure channel for transmitting highly sensitive information unless expressly stated otherwise.
19. AI, Machine Learning, and Experimental Features
Some projects or demonstrations on this website may involve artificial intelligence, machine learning, generative AI, automation, or other computational systems.
If a feature allows you to submit information to such a system, the information may be processed by the relevant software, infrastructure, API, model provider, or other service required to operate that feature.
You should review any project-specific privacy notice or terms where provided.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, you should avoid submitting confidential, sensitive, proprietary, or otherwise restricted information to experimental AI or machine-learning features.
Experimental systems may change over time, including their underlying models, APIs, providers, processing methods, or infrastructure.
20. Changes to This Privacy Policy
I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When changes are made, I will update the “Last updated” date at the beginning of this page.
Unless otherwise stated, the revised Privacy Policy becomes effective when posted on this website.
Where applicable law requires additional notice, consent, or a different effective date, I will follow the applicable requirement.
Your continued use of the website after an updated Privacy Policy becomes effective may constitute acknowledgement of the revised policy to the extent permitted by applicable law.
