Scope

This policy applies to all visitors of eg-traveller.sbs who read our travel guides, browse regional advice, or contact us with questions about preparing a trip across Egypt. Whether you are looking into coastal areas along the Red Sea or planning routes through the Nile Valley, the information below explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how you can stay in control of your personal data.

Your name and email address, provided voluntarily when you contact us
Any message content you choose to share in correspondence
IP address and browser type for site performance and security
Approximate region derived from network data

How We Use It

We collect minimal personal data from our users, primarily through voluntary communication such as emails. This may include your name, email address, and any other information you choose to provide when contacting us. We also collect non-identifiable technical data such as your IP address and browser type for the purpose of improving website performance and security. We do not use this information to identify you personally unless required by law.

02 — Section

Use of Information

The information we collect is used solely to respond to your inquiries, provide the services you have requested, and improve the content of our website. We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes or share it with third parties for their own commercial use. Your data is handled with the utmost care and is only accessed by authorized personnel who need it to perform their duties.

When you write to ask about a region, a travel route, or a seasonal consideration, we use the details you provided to answer that specific question. We do not build a profile of your travel preferences to sell to anyone, and we do not send promotional messages unless you explicitly request a reply.

Specifically, we do not

— Sell or rent your email address or message content
— Send unsolicited newsletters or promotional offers
— Share your data with third parties for their commercial use
— Use tracking pixels from advertising networks on this site

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our website uses standard security protocols to ensure that your data is transmitted safely. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We encourage users to take their own precautions when sharing information online.

In practical terms, this means we use encrypted connections for data in transit, restrict access to user correspondence to a small number of authorized personnel, and review our hosting environment periodically. If you are writing to us with a detailed travel question, you are welcome to omit any details you are not comfortable sharing online and provide only what is necessary for us to give you a useful answer.

04 — Section

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies to enhance the user experience and analyze traffic patterns. These small files are stored on your device and help us understand how you interact with our content. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, although this may affect some functionality of the site.

For more detailed information about what cookies we set, how long each one remains on your device, and how to manage them in major browsers, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy. The link is provided in the summary at the bottom of this page.

05 — Section

Third-Party Links

Our website contains links to other websites that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party sites. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of every site you visit to understand how they handle your data. This policy applies only to information collected by EG Traveller.

External Content

We may link to regional information sources, weather services, or cultural references that help contextualize our travel guides. These sites operate under their own terms.

Our Boundary

Once you leave eg-traveller.sbs, our protections no longer apply. Your browsing on any third-party site is governed by that site's own privacy practices.

What to Check

Look for a published privacy policy, what data the site collects, whether it shares data with partners, and what cookie settings it offers. If none are visible, share minimal information.

06 — Section

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal obligations. Once your information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. We regularly review our data storage practices to ensure that we are not holding onto information longer than required.

For example, if you contact us with a question about a Red Sea coastal area, we keep the email exchange long enough to respond and address any follow-up, then remove it from our active systems. If a legal obligation requires us to keep records of certain interactions for a defined period, we retain only what is required and delete it when that period ends.

Retention Principles

Purpose-limited: data is kept only as long as it serves the original reason for collection
Scheduled review: we periodically check stored correspondence and remove what is no longer needed
Secure deletion: when data reaches end-of-life, we delete or anonymize it rather than archiving it indefinitely

07 — Section

User Rights

Access

You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including what was collected, when it was gathered, and how it has been used within EG Traveller.

Correction

If any of the information you provided is inaccurate or outdated, you can ask us to correct it. This applies to your name, email address, and any details shared in correspondence.

Deletion

You can request that we delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, unless we are legally required to retain it.

Objection

You have the right to object to the processing of your data for specific purposes, and we will stop processing it unless we have a legitimate reason to continue.

Restriction

You can ask us to limit the use of your data to a specific scope, such as holding it for reference without further processing, while a correction or objection is reviewed.

How to Exercise

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information provided in the footer. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

08 — Section

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with the date of the latest revision. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy. Your continued use of the website constitutes your acceptance of any changes.

When we make a material change, such as adding a new type of data collection or changing how long we retain correspondence, we will update the revision date visible at the top of this document. Minor edits, such as clarifying wording or fixing a broken link, may be made without separate notice but will still reflect in the revision date.
