Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12/10/2025

The aventuro.co website is owned and operated by AVENTURO TRAVELHUB S.R.L., acting as a personal data controller in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on data protection (GDPR). This Policy explains what data we collect, for what purposes, how we store it, and what rights you have regarding it.

Această Politică explică ce date colectăm, în ce scopuri, cum le stocăm și ce drepturi aveți în legătură cu acestea.

1. What data we collect

a) Automatically collected data

When accessing our website, we automatically collect certain non-identifiable data about your visit via Google Analytics 4, such as:

IP address (anonymized);
Browser type and version;
Operating system;
Pages visited and duration of the visit;
Traffic source (e.g., Google, social media);
Information about browsing events (e.g., clicks, scrolling, time on page).

These data are anonymous, used exclusively for statistical purposes, do not allow for the individual identification of users, and are not correlated with other information.

To prevent the involuntary collection of personal data via URLs or technical parameters, we use the automatic data redaction function in Google Analytics 4. This automatically removes potential sensitive information such as email addresses, names, contact details, or unique identifiers from events sent to Google, should they accidentally appear in URLs.

b) Voluntarily provided data

If you contact us via email or other means, we may collect:

First and last name;
Email address;
Social media profile (if provided voluntarily for collaboration);
Any other information voluntarily transmitted by you.

c) Collaborator data

In the case of collaborators (photographers, content creators, explorers, participants in hiking and exploration campaigns), we may also collect:

Name or pseudonym for display on the site;
Links to social pages or public portfolios;
Media materials (photos, videos), following express agreement;
Participation agreement (in written format or via form).

2. Purpose of processing

Your data is processed for:

Traffic and behavior analysis (anonymous statistics);
Improving website content and functionality;
Ensuring the technical functioning and security of the platform;
Responding to requests received via email;
Management and publication of content within AventuRO campaigns;
Promoting the project and collaborators (with their consent);
Marketing and advertising campaigns (only with your explicit consent).

We do not use your data for profiling, behavioral advertising, or remarketing.

3. Legal basis

We process your data based on the following legal grounds:

Legitimate interest (for traffic analysis and site security);
Consent (for analytical cookies, expressed via the banner);
Legal obligations, where applicable (e.g., requests from authorities).

4. Cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files saved in your browser when you visit a site. They help the site function correctly and provide information on how it is used.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use only the following categories of cookies:

Essential cookies, which allow basic site functioning. These do not collect personal data and cannot be disabled.
Analytical cookies, which collect anonymous data about visitor behavior on the site (e.g., which pages are visited, how much time is spent on the site, how they arrive at the site). These cookies are managed via Google Analytics 4, with anonymized IP.
Marketing and advertising cookies, which help us deliver relevant ads and measure the performance of our campaigns. We may use third-party tools such as Meta Pixel (Facebook) or Google Ads to understand how users interact with our site after seeing an ad. These cookies allow us to build audiences for advertising (remarketing) but do not store personal information directly; they uniquely identify your browser and device. These are optional and are only activated with your consent.

How can you manage cookies?

You can modify your browser settings at any time to block or delete cookies. Additionally, you can manage your preferences via our cookie banner. Refusing analytical or marketing cookies does not affect the basic functioning of the site.

5. Data transfer outside the EU

Data collected by Google Analytics or advertising platforms may be processed on servers outside the European Economic Area (including in the USA). Providers like Google and Meta offer adequate protection measures, including standard contractual clauses, in accordance with European legislation.

6. Storage and security of data

Data is stored in secure environments and is accessible only to authorized personnel. We do not keep data longer than necessary for the mentioned purposes.

Right to be informed;
Right of access to your data;
Right to rectification or deletion ("the right to be forgotten");
Right to restriction of processing;
Right to object;
Right to data portability;
