Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data necessary to operate our digital assets marketplace, process orders, send newsletter updates, and optimize browsing speed on Caraka Digital Assets Marketplace (operated by Sogee Studio):

• Newsletter Subscriptions: Email addresses provided voluntarily when subscribing to Caraka blog updates or receiving product launch notifications.
• Protected Download Verification: When you access a digital asset via a download grant token ( /downloads/grants/{token} ), we log technical verification metrics (IP address, timestamp, user agent) to prevent link abuse and enforce download limits.
• Local Search History (Browser Cookie): To improve user convenience, your recent search queries are stored locally in your browser via the first-party search_history cookie for up to 30 days. You can clear this history anytime inside the search modal or by clearing your browser cookies.
• Interactive Blog Engagement: Daily blog applause/claps are recorded per session/IP to calculate article popularity without identifying individual users.
• Analytics & Usage Metrics: Anonymized traffic statistics, page views, search modal interactions, and referrer channels via Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Caraka Analytics.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your information is processed strictly for legitimate marketplace functions:

• Delivering instant digital asset download grants and purchase verification.
• Sending design articles, product updates, and Figma tutorials (only if you opted in).
• Maintaining security, preventing automated scraping, and enforcing license link protection.

We NEVER sell, rent, or trade your personal data or email addresses to third-party advertising networks.

3. Essential Cookies & Storage Preferences

Caraka does not use invasive advertising cookies or cross-site tracking scripts. We strictly utilize essential first-party cookies and local browser storage to provide functional site features:

• search_history: Remembers your recent asset searches locally in your browser for 30 days.
• Session & Security Cookies: Ensures secure Livewire page navigation and CSRF security protection.

Because we only use functional first-party cookies without cross-site ad profiling, no intrusive cookie banners are required. You can clear or manage these cookies directly in your web browser settings at any time.

4. Email Unsubscribe & User Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

You have complete control over your subscription and personal data:

• One-Click Unsubscribe: You can unsubscribe from newsletter emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in any email footer or by visiting Caraka Unsubscribe Page .
• Data Access & Erasure: Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to request a copy of your data or ask for total removal of your email record.
