6. How we share your information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We may share your information with:

• Authorities, where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process

7. Data retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, provide the services you have engaged us for, and comply with our legal, tax, and regulatory obligations. If you have only contacted us and did not proceed with our services, we retain your information for a reasonable period to allow for follow-up, after which it is deleted or anonymized unless you ask us to retain it for future reference.

8. International data transfers

Some of the third-party tools we use (such as Google Analytics and Google Ads) may process data on servers located outside Egypt, including in countries that may have different data protection standards. Where this occurs, these providers maintain their own safeguards for international data transfers under their respective privacy policies.

9. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data, consistent with Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
