But no system is 100% secure. If we experience a data breach, we'll notify you promptly.

Indiecia is not intended for users under 13. We don't knowingly collect data from children. If you're a parent and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact us and we'll delete it.
International Users
Indiecia is operated from Indonesia. If you're accessing from outside Indonesia, your data may be transferred to and processed in Indonesia. By using Indiecia, you consent to this transfer.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally. If we make significant changes, we'll email you and post a notice on the website. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Your Privacy Matters
We're indie developers ourselves. We built Indiecia to solve a problem, not to collect data. We only gather what's necessary to run the service and make it better.
