How we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you access mcyktm.com and our mountain orientation services.
We only collect data that you voluntarily provide through our contact forms: your name, email address, and phone number. This information is necessary to answer your questions about mountain trails, send you practical guides (such as interpreting hiking markers), and provide assistance if needed in the mountains. We do not request sensitive data such as medical or biometric information.
When you visit the site, we automatically collect technical information: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages accessed, and visit duration. We use strictly necessary cookies for the proper functioning of the site and analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to understand which articles about compasses, maps, or wildlife are most read. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not function correctly.
The collected data is used exclusively for: (1) answering your questions and sending you requested materials about field orientation; (2) improving site content based on reader preferences; (3) complying with legal obligations (e.g., maintaining consent records). We do not use the data for targeted advertising, nor do we sell or share it with third parties for commercial purposes.
Your data is stored on secure servers within the European Union, with access limited to site administrators. We retain personal data for a maximum of 24 months from the last interaction, after which it is permanently deleted. We use SSL encryption for data transmission and standard technical measures to prevent unauthorized access.
We may share anonymized data (aggregated, non-identifying) with web analytics partners (Google Analytics) and our hosting provider. In the event of a legal request from Romanian authorities, we may disclose strictly necessary data as required by law. We do not transfer data outside the European Economic Area.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. You can request restriction of processing or data portability.

The mcyktm.com site does not make false claims, create false urgency, use fabricated testimonials, or claim affiliation with official institutions. The content is educational and based on the authors' practical experience in the Bucegi and Piatra Craiului Mountains. We do not guarantee specific results in mountain orientation, as safety depends on each hiker's preparation.
