Privacy Policy

Last updated 4 November 2026

This policy explains what data SobatRantau collects, why, and the choices you have. SobatRantau is a community app for Indonesians living abroad.

1. Data you give us

Account details (name, email, or the identity provided by Google or Apple), profile information (photo, country and city of residence, hometown, occupation, bio, interests, WhatsApp number if you add it), and the content you create: posts, comments, messages, listings, events, community information and reviews.

2. Data collected automatically

Device type, app version, language, and push notification tokens so we can deliver notifications. We do not use GPS or track your precise location; your country and city are chosen by you. On mobile, our advertising partner (Google AdMob) may collect device identifiers to show ads; see Advertising.

3. How we use data

To run the service (show your profile, deliver messages and notifications, match jastip trips and requests), keep the community safe (review reports, prevent fraud and abuse), and improve the app. We do not sell your personal data.

4. What others can see

Your name, photo, city, hometown, occupation, bio, interests and the communities you choose to show are visible to other users. Public pages for jobs, businesses, events and communities can be viewed by anyone on the web. Messages are only visible to the people in the conversation.

5. Advertising

The Android and iOS apps show a banner ad from Google AdMob. We ask for your consent where required (Google's consent form) and, on iOS, for App Tracking Transparency permission. If you decline, you see non-personalized ads. The website has no ads.

6. Service providers

We use Supabase (database, authentication, file storage), Expo (app updates and push notifications), Google (sign-in, ads, Android notifications) and Apple (sign-in, iOS notifications). They process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms.

7. Retention and deletion

We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account; this permanently removes your profile and the content linked to it. You can also request a copy of your data in Settings.

8. Your rights

You can access, correct and delete your data, withdraw consent for personalized ads, and turn off notifications at any time. Depending on where you live, you may have further rights under local law.

9. Children

SobatRantau is not intended for children under 16.

10. Changes

We will post updates to this policy here and notify you in the app about significant changes.
