Privacy Protocol

We collect information you provide when registering for events, including name, email, phone, institution, age category, team roster, and payment details where applicable.

We may collect technical data such as browser type, device information, IP address, and usage patterns to improve platform performance, detect fraud, and maintain security.

Event media (photos and videos) may be captured during competitions for documentation, certification, and promotional use with appropriate consent.

Your data is used to process registrations, deliver event updates, respond to support requests, maintain competition records, and issue e-certificates.

With your consent, we may share educational content, community updates, mentor opportunities, and programme announcements relevant to robotics innovation.

Aggregated, anonymised analytics help us improve challenge formats, venue logistics, and learning resources for future seasons.

We do not sell personal data. Information is shared only with trusted partners when required to operate events (payment gateways, venues, certification bodies, travel partners).

We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards including access controls, encrypted transmission, and audit logging.

No internet transmission is fully secure; users share data at their own discretion. Report suspected breaches to mechastra.org@gmail.com immediately.

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors use the platform.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may limit registration and account features.

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your data by emailing mechastra.org@gmail.com with your registered email and team ID.

You can opt out of marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link or by contacting us directly.

Parents or guardians may manage data for participants under 18 by providing proof of guardianship.
