Privacy Policy for Bali Visa Concierge
Last Updated: October 26, 2023
Welcome to balivisaconcierge.com (“Bali Visa Concierge,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are an Indonesia visa agency committed to helping individuals and businesses navigate the complexities of Indonesian immigration. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how Bali Visa Concierge collects, uses, processes, stores, and protects your personal data when you use our services or interact with our website. We are dedicated to ensuring the confidentiality and security of your information in compliance with Indonesian Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning Personal Data Protection (UU 27/2022 PDP) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our clients residing in the European Union.
1. Data We Collect
To provide our visa and immigration services effectively, we collect various types of personal data. The specific data collected will depend on the service you require and the destination country’s visa regulations. This may include:
- Identity Data: Full name, date and place of birth, nationality, gender, passport details (number, issue and expiry dates, place of issue, passport photo), national ID details.
- Contact Data: Email address, phone number, residential address, postal address.
- Travel and Visa Data: Intended travel dates, purpose of visit, accommodation details, travel history, previous visa applications or refusals, flight details.
- Financial Data: While we do not store full credit card details (which are processed by secure third-party payment gateways), we may collect transaction details related to payments for our services. For certain visa types, bank statements or proof of funds might be requested by the embassy/consulate, but these are typically submitted directly and not retained by us unless explicitly required for processing.
- Sensitive Data: For specific visa categories (e.g., medical visas), we may be required to collect health information or biometric data. This data is handled with the highest level of care and processed only with your explicit consent and strictly for the purpose of your visa application.
- Communication Data: Records of your correspondence with us, including emails, chat messages, and phone calls.
- Technical Data: IP address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.
- Usage Data: Information about how you use our website, products, and services.
2. Purpose of Data Collection
We collect your personal data for the following primary purposes:
- Service Provision: To process your visa applications, immigration documents, and provide related concierge services.
- Communication: To communicate with you regarding your application status, inquiries, updates, and any necessary information.
- Legal & Regulatory Compliance: To comply with Indonesian immigration laws, the requirements of foreign embassies/consulates, and other legal obligations.
- Payment Processing: To process payments for our services.
- Service Improvement: To analyze and improve our services, website functionality, and user experience.
- Security: To maintain the security of our services and prevent fraudulent activities.
- Marketing: With your explicit consent, to send you promotional offers, newsletters, or information about services that may be of interest to you. You can opt-out at any time.
Our legal basis for processing your data includes the performance of a contract (for visa services), compliance with legal obligations, our legitimate interests (e.g., improving services), and your explicit consent where required (e.g., for sensitive data or marketing).
3. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Typically, this means we will keep your data for the duration of your service engagement with us, plus a reasonable period thereafter to comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax and accounting records for up to 5-7 years) or to resolve any potential disputes. Sensitive data is retained only for the period strictly necessary for the visa application process and then securely deleted or anonymized, unless a longer retention period is legally mandated or explicitly consented to by you.
4. Data Sharing
We respect your privacy and do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We may share your data only in the following circumstances and with strict adherence to data protection principles:
- Government Authorities: With Indonesian immigration authorities, foreign embassies, consulates, and other government bodies as required for your visa application.
- Service Providers: With trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing services to you (e.g., payment processors, courier services, IT support). These third parties are contractually bound to protect your data and only process it for the specified purposes.
- Legal Obligations: When legally required to do so, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or government investigation.
- Affiliates: With our parent company, Juaraholding, and its affiliates for administrative purposes, provided they adhere to this Privacy Policy.
When transferring data outside of Indonesia or the EU, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or explicit consent, to guarantee your data receives adequate protection.

6. Data Security
We implement robust technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, firewalls, secure server infrastructure, access controls, regular security audits, and staff training on data protection. While we strive to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
