Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the main website at library.unisma.ac.id and the pages published under that domain. It covers how data is handled when you read content, use search, switch the display theme, open embedded maps, or follow links to library services.

It does not automatically apply to external services that are only linked from this site. If you move to the online catalog, the Repository, Helpdesk, the Wiki, PRISMA AI, social media, or a partner website, you are then using a separate service with its own privacy rules. That is where their policy takes over.

Most pages on this website can be read without logging in, registering, or uploading anything. In plain terms, we do not ask visitors for names, student numbers, staff IDs, or other direct personal identifiers just to browse public information.

Even so, your browser still has to load the resources needed to display the site properly. As part of that process, third-party services used on this website may receive standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, visited pages, access time, and referring source. That kind of data is commonly used for traffic measurement, service monitoring, and basic security needs.

This website stores your dark or light theme preference in your browser through local storage, or localStorage. The purpose is simple. When you return to the site, the display can follow the choice you have already made instead of resetting each time.

This setting is not used to identify you personally. It stays in your own browser and can be removed whenever you clear site data or browser storage. If you delete it, the theme goes back to the default based on your browser or device settings.

Search on this website currently runs in the visitor's browser. In the current setup, the keywords you type are not designed as a search form submission to this website's server.

Your browser still loads the supporting resources needed to make search work. If the search system is changed in the future, for example by moving to a separate search service or by logging search queries, this page should be updated so the explanation remains accurate.

This site uses a small number of outside services so certain pages can work properly and so we can understand overall traffic patterns. At present, the main third-party services are as follows.

• Statcounter is used for website analytics. It helps us understand general usage patterns such as popular pages, device trends, and traffic sources.
• Google Maps Embed is used on the home page so visitors can view the library location directly.
• Panoee is used for the virtual tour. When that iframe loads, the visitor's browser connects directly to that service.
• External service links such as the online catalog, the Repository, Helpdesk, the Wiki, PRISMA AI, social media, and partner websites act as redirects. Once you open them, any further data handling is governed by the destination site's own policy.

We do not control the internal privacy behavior of those outside platforms. If you need details on how they store cookies, log requests, or analyze traffic, the most reliable source is the policy published by the provider itself.

The website provides the library's official email address and other official contact details. If you contact us through email or another official channel, the information we receive will depend on what you choose to send.

That may include your name, email address, department, or the content of your request. We use that information to answer questions, follow up on service needs, or handle issues you report. We do not ask for sensitive personal data unless it is genuinely needed, and in most cases it is better to keep the information shared to what is strictly necessary.

In practical terms, data handled through this website is used to:

• Keep the website available and usable across different devices.
• Understand broad traffic patterns so content and services can be improved.
• Remember a basic display preference such as dark or light mode.
• Show embedded services such as maps and the virtual tour.
• Respond to requests or questions sent through official contact channels.

We do not sell visitor data, trade contact lists, or use this website to build marketing profiles of individual visitors.

In its current form, this website does not run an internal visitor account system that depends on login cookies issued by the application itself. The website interface uses localStorage to store the theme preference.

Third-party services loaded through scripts or iframes may still use cookies or similar storage under their own rules. If you want to limit that behavior, the main controls are in your browser settings, private browsing mode, content blocking tools, or regular clearing of site data from your device.

We try to limit access to data that actually needs to be handled, especially information received through direct communication such as email. Technical statistics and related data processed by third-party tools are handled under the systems and security controls of those providers.

No website can guarantee zero risk. For that reason, we avoid collecting more data than is needed from the start. If a piece of information is not necessary for the website to function, the safer approach is usually not to ask for it.

If you have sent information to us directly through an official contact channel, you may ask what information was submitted, request corrections if it is inaccurate, or request deletion where that is possible and does not conflict with administrative obligations or applicable rules.

For data handled in your own browser, such as localStorage entries or third-party cookies, the main control sits with your browser and device. In many cases, you can remove that data yourself without needing to contact us first.

This policy will be updated whenever there is a change to website features, service integrations, or the way data is handled. Any change that affects data processing should be reflected on this page so the information remains aligned with the current service.

The update date at the top indicates which version of the policy is currently in effect. Visitors who regularly use library services are encouraged to review this page from time to time.

If you have questions about this privacy policy, need clarification, or believe part of this page should be clearer, please contact the library through its official contact details.
