Images, maps, and data help make Indonesia Now’s travel and cultural guides more useful. They can also represent the work of photographers, artists, mapping communities, researchers, public agencies, and other creators. This page explains how we approach credits, permissions, and source information.
Images and Visual Materials
Images used on Indonesia Now may include photographs, illustrations, graphics, screenshots, or other visual materials. Depending on the item, these may be created for the website, supplied with permission, licensed from a provider, or available under an appropriate open license.
We aim to identify the creator and source where required or appropriate. A credit may appear in an image caption, alongside the material, or in a dedicated credits section. The information provided depends on the applicable license or permission and may include the creator’s name, the source, a license link, and a note about relevant changes.
An image appearing on this website is not automatically available for others to copy or reuse. Rights and conditions vary by item. If you would like to reuse an image, please check the credit and applicable license or contact the relevant rights holder.
Open Licenses and Third-Party Materials
Some materials may be available under Creative Commons or other open licenses. Each license has its own conditions. Where required, we aim to provide the applicable attribution, license information, and notice of modifications. Some materials may also be subject to restrictions concerning commercial use, adaptations, or other rights.
Providing a credit does not by itself grant permission to use material. We seek to use third-party content in accordance with its license, an applicable permission, or another valid basis. A credit or link does not imply that the creator or source endorses Indonesia Now.
Maps and Location Information
Maps may be created from different sources or displayed through third-party services. Where a map uses OpenStreetMap data, the relevant map should display the required attribution and license information. Map styles, tiles, imagery, or other layers may have separate providers and conditions. OpenStreetMap
Maps and location details are intended to support general planning. Roads, access points, boundaries, services, and conditions may change. Readers should check current local information and follow signs and guidance on site.
Data and Research Sources
Our articles and tools may refer to information published by government agencies, destination managers, transport providers, researchers, or other relevant sources. Where appropriate, we identify the source and provide a link, publication date, access date, or other context that helps readers understand the information.
If a guide presents a calculation or comparison, we aim to explain the inputs, units, assumptions, and limitations that matter to its interpretation. Prices, schedules, entry requirements, and other time-sensitive details should be checked with the responsible authority or provider before a decision is made.
For example, if Indonesia Now uses open weather data from BMKG, the relevant page or tool should identify BMKG as the source and follow the conditions applicable to that data. Listing a potential source here does not mean that a particular dataset is currently used on the website. data.bmkg.go.id
AI-Generated or Altered Visuals
If AI-generated illustrations or materially altered visuals are used, they should not be presented as documentary photographs of real places, people, events, or firsthand experiences. We aim to provide an appropriate indication when the method of creation is relevant to understanding an image. More information is available in our AI Policy.
Report a Credit or Rights Concern
If you believe an image, map, dataset, or other material has been used without appropriate credit or permission, please contact us through the website’s contact page. To help us investigate, include:
- The URL of the Indonesia Now page and a description of the material.
- The credit or rights concern you would like us to review.
- Your relationship to the material and, where available, a link to the original source or relevant license.
- Your preferred contact information if you would like a response.
We will review the information available and may update a credit, restrict access, or remove material where appropriate. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information unless it is necessary and a suitable method has been arranged.
Updates
Credits and source information may be revised when we receive better information or when materials and licenses change. For factual errors or outdated travel information, please also see our Corrections Policy.
