We do not intend to collect personal data that is unnecessary for the purposes described in this Policy. Please do not submit sensitive personal information through forms or communication channels that are not specifically intended for that purpose.

We process personal data for purposes relevant to Indigo War, including:

1. Receiving and managing participant registrations.
2. Verifying eligibility and registration information.
3. Managing participant documentation and progress throughout a competition.
4. Conducting judging and evaluation.

We will determine an appropriate legal basis for each processing activity. Consent will be used where required by applicable law and will not be treated as unlimited permission for every possible use of personal data.

6. Photographs, Documentation, and Publication

Visual documentation is an important part of Indigo War competitions. Photographs submitted by participants may be used for verification, judging, progress documentation, result announcements, and publication relating to the competition.

Subject to the applicable registration terms and permissions, documentation may be published through:

• The official Indigo War website.
• Official Indigo War social media channels.
• Participant, finalist, and winner announcements.
• Editorial, educational, and raw denim culture content.
• Competition recaps and historical archives.

Published photographs may be accompanied by a participant’s name or display name, social media username, relevant denim information, and competition achievements.

We do not intend to publish participants’ email addresses, telephone numbers, home addresses, or private contact information publicly.

Participants must have the necessary rights or permissions to submit their photographs. Participants should also avoid including another person’s personal information in submitted content without an appropriate legal basis or permission.

7. Copyright and Photo Licence

Copyright ownership of a photograph does not automatically transfer to Indigo War when the photograph is submitted for a competition.

To administer the competition and carry out the publication activities described in this Policy, participants may be asked to grant Indigo War a licence limited to the purposes, media, and scope specified in the registration terms.

Such a licence may permit Indigo War to store, display, reproduce, publish, and technically adapt the format or size of photographs for competition-related purposes, subject to the permission granted and applicable law.

Permission for routine publication by Indigo War does not automatically grant sponsors or brand partners the right to use photographs in their own advertisements, catalogues, commercial campaigns, or product promotions.

Any additional use will require an appropriate legal basis or permission, including separate consent where required by law.

Further licence terms may be specified in the registration form or Competition Rules.

8. Sponsors, Brand Partners, and Media Partners

Indigo War may work with sponsors, supporting brands, communities, judges, and media partners to operate competitions and support Indonesian denim culture.

Participant data will only be shared where necessary for a clearly defined purpose and where an appropriate legal basis exists.

Sharing may include relevant information required for achievement verification, prize coordination, media coverage, or competition publication.

Private contact information will not be shared with sponsors for their independent marketing simply because an individual has registered as a participant.

If a sponsor wishes to use a participant’s photographs, name, username, or other information in a commercial campaign beyond routine competition publication, Indigo War will arrange the appropriate permission before that use takes place where required by law.

Indigo War does not sell participants’ personal data.

9. Service Providers and Third Parties

Our website may use service providers for hosting, website maintenance, data storage, email communications, security, analytics, and other technical services.

These providers may process personal data to the extent necessary to provide their services to Indigo War.

The identity of each provider, its location, and its role must be determined based on the systems actually used.

We may disclose information where required by law or necessary to respond to lawful legal processes, investigate suspected fraud, or protect the rights and safety of relevant parties.

Our website may also contain links to third-party platforms. Their data processing activities are governed by their own privacy policies.

10. International Data Transfers

Personal data may be processed or stored outside Indonesia if the technical services we use involve international infrastructure.

Where international data transfers occur, Indigo War will implement the safeguards and requirements imposed by applicable law.

Further information about providers and processing locations will be determined based on the actual website configuration.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, administer competitions, deliver prizes, respond to requests or disputes, and comply with legal obligations.

Competition documentation may be retained as part of a historical archive where there is a legitimate purpose and an appropriate legal basis for doing so.

Data that is no longer required will be deleted, destroyed, or anonymised in accordance with applicable requirements, unless further retention is required or permitted by law.

Specific retention periods for major categories of data will be established according to Indigo War’s operational needs and data retention schedule.

12. Data Security

We seek to implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or use.

These measures may include access controls, administrative account protection, system updates, backups, and security monitoring, depending on the capabilities and configuration of our services.

No electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a personal data breach occurs, Indigo War will respond and provide notifications in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

13. Your Data Protection Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Receive information about the identity of the data controller and the purposes of processing.
• Request access to personal data being processed.
• Correct or update inaccurate information.
• Request deletion or destruction of personal data where permitted.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
• Object to or request the suspension or restriction of processing where applicable.
• Request data portability where such a right applies.
• Submit a complaint through the mechanisms available under applicable law.

You may submit a request to indigowarindonesia@gmail.com using the subject line “Personal Data Request”.

We may reasonably verify your identity before processing a request. Each request will be assessed in accordance with applicable law, the purposes of processing, and relevant retention obligations.

14. Requests to Remove Photographs or Documentation

Participants may request the removal of photographs or competition documentation published through Indigo War’s official channels.

We will assess each request in light of the legal basis for processing, the scope of permissions granted, legal obligations, and the interests of relevant parties.

Where removal is appropriate, we will take reasonable steps to remove the material from channels under our control.

We cannot guarantee the removal of copies that have been downloaded, redistributed, indexed by search engines, or stored by third parties outside our control.

15. Participants Requiring Parental or Guardian Consent

Where a participant is not legally able to provide consent independently, parental or legal guardian consent will be obtained where required by applicable law.

Indigo War may take appropriate steps if we become aware that personal data has been processed in a manner that does not comply with applicable law.

16. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies to support functionality, security, user preferences, and other features.

Analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies, if used, will be subject to the website’s actual configuration and any consent requirements imposed by applicable law.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services, competitions, technical systems, or applicable laws.
