Privacy Policy
Last Updated: May 2025
Your privacy is very important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website. We want you to feel safe and informed while exploring and enjoying authentic Indonesian food experiences through our platform. Please take a moment to read how we handle your data and your rights regarding your privacy.
Who We Are
The Indonesian Restaurant Directory is a comprehensive global database of Indonesian restaurants located outside Indonesia. Our mission is to connect food lovers with authentic Indonesian cuisine around the world.
Our directory currently lists over 500 Indonesian restaurants across 20+ countries and 100+ cities, making it the most extensive resource for finding Indonesian dining options globally. We independently research and verify restaurants through publicly available information from sources like Google Maps, social media profiles, and restaurant websites.
This website is maintained by a small team of Indonesian food enthusiasts who are passionate about documenting and promoting Indonesian cuisine internationally. We are not affiliated with any government agency, tourism board, or restaurant chain.
Our directory is structured geographically by region, country, and city to help you easily find Indonesian restaurants wherever you are. Each listing includes essential information like location, price range, specialty dishes, and dining options.
This website’s address is: [www.thearchipelagoeats.com]
For questions, restaurant submissions, or corrections to existing listings, please contact us at: info@thearchipelagoeats.com.
What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
Restaurant Submissions
When you submit an Indonesian restaurant via email for inclusion in our directory, we collect:
- Your name and email address
- Details about the restaurant you’re submitting (name, address, contact information, etc.)
We use this information to:
- Verify and add restaurant listings to our directory
- Contact you if we need additional information
- Notify you when your submission has been published
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
Analytics
We use analytics to track visitor interaction with our website. This helps us understand which pages are most popular, how visitors find us, and how they navigate through our site. The information is aggregated and anonymized.
Cookies
When you submit a restaurant listing via email, we retain the information you provide (including your name, email address, and the restaurant details) for the purpose of verifying and adding the restaurant to our directory. This information is stored securely for as long as the restaurant remains listed in our directory, plus an additional period of up to 12 months following removal to handle any potential inquiries.
If you leave a comment on our site, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to facilitate comment management and follow-up responses.
Restaurant owners who submit their establishments can request updates or removal of their listing information at any time by contacting us through our designated email address. While we can modify or remove restaurant information upon request, we maintain a record of the original submission for internal reference and verification purposes.
We do not maintain user accounts or profiles on our Indonesian Restaurant Directory website, so there is no user registration data stored beyond the restaurant submission information and comment data mentioned above.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. However, we may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable visitor information with our business partners and trusted affiliates for statistical purposes.
