We use aggregated IP address information to compile reports on the demographics of the usage of the Gerakbudaya Website for purposes of system administration, marketing, as information to potential advertisers and subscribers, and to track potential abuse of our terms and conditions of use. We do not use IP address information in a form that is personally identifiable except based upon your past interactions with the Gerakbudaya Website.
