Our mobile platform does not invite registration from children below the age of 13. We do not purposefully collect indices on minor climbers. Unintended record captures will be immediately deleted upon discovery.
7. Third-Party Links
The application contains links to map caches and government climbing license providers. We bear no administrative liabilities over the safety, operational rules, or tracking methods of those external sites. Please read their separate conditions.
