Your privacy matters
HIKING-LEBANON collects and uses information needed to provide member accounts, event participation, communications, bookings, and community features.
This policy explains the main categories of information involved in those activities and how you can contact us with privacy-related questions.
Information we may collect
When creating an account, you provide your full name, mobile number, location, profession, username, email address and a password. We may also receive information you provide later through your profile, such as your preferred language or age, and information associated with events, bookings, reviews and community participation when those features are available.
Our systems may also process technical information needed for site security and operation, including session information and, when you register, an acceptance record containing an IP address and browser/device information.
How information is used
Information may be used to manage your account, provide event information, process participation requests, communicate important updates, keep records of acceptance of site policies, maintain account security and improve the HIKING-LEBANON experience.
Account security and cookies
Account passwords are stored in hashed form rather than as plain text. Session cookies and similar necessary technical mechanisms help keep your account signed in and protect account-related actions.
Technical safeguards reduce risk but cannot guarantee complete protection against every security incident.
Member content
Reviews, ratings and comments you submit may be displayed publicly after approval for publication. Be mindful of personal information you choose to include in content intended for others to see.
Information sharing
Information may need to be accessed by authorized staff and technical service providers for operating the website, administering member accounts or supporting events. Any additional sharing required for a specific service should be explained where that service is offered.
Third-party sites and services linked from HIKING-LEBANON may have their own privacy practices.
Data protection
HIKING-LEBANON aims to protect member information through appropriate security measures and limits access to authorized individuals for legitimate operational purposes.
Retention and requests
Information may be kept as necessary for providing services, resolving disputes, maintaining security and meeting applicable obligations. Retention needs can differ by record type.
You can contact us to ask about personal information associated with your account, request corrections, or inquire about deletion, subject to applicable legal and operational requirements.
Age and account eligibility
Account registration is intended for individuals aged 18 or older, unless registration through a parent or legal guardian has been expressly permitted by HIKING-LEBANON.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy when our services or information practices change. Updated wording will be published on this page, together with its revision date.
