1. Introduction

Welcome to Aksara Karsa (“we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

2. Information We Collect

• Disqus Comments: When you post a comment via Disqus, Disqus collects your chosen username, email (hashed), avatar, and any content you provide. We do not see your raw e‑mail.
• Microsoft Clarity Analytics: We use Microsoft Clarity to gather anonymous usage data—page views, device/browser type, and (anonymized) IP address. No personally identifiable details (name, e‑mail) are stored.

We do not collect any other personal data via contact forms, newsletters, user accounts, or log‑ins.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Comments: To display user comments and foster discussion.
• Analytics: To understand overall traffic patterns and improve site performance.

4. Data Retention

All data is retained according to each service provider’s own policies:

• Disqus retention as per Disqus Terms of Service
• Microsoft Clarity retention as per Microsoft Clarity Privacy Policy

We do not independently store or archive raw personal data.

5. Third‑Party Services

We integrate the following external services:

• Disqus (commenting system)
• Microsoft Clarity (anonymous analytics)
• Social‑share buttons (Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
• Discord (link to our community server)

Please review each provider’s privacy policy for details on their data handling.

6. Cookies & Consent

When you first visit our website, you will see a consent popup that appears in the center of the screen. This popup provides you with two choices:

• “Accept All” - Consent to the use of all types of cookies including those used for analytics and user experience improvement • “Essential Only” - Only consent to cookies necessary for basic website functionality

Your choice will be stored in your browser and the popup will not appear again until you clear your browser data or change settings. By selecting either option, you agree to this Privacy Policy according to your chosen consent level.

7. International Standards & Future Compliance

Although our primary audience is in Indonesia, we have drafted this policy using international best practices. In the future, we may add explicit GDPR or other regional terms to accommodate a global audience.
