Privacy Policy

Egyptian Horizon Guides (eg-guides.lat) is committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when using our website. Our operations are governed by the principle of data minimization — we only collect the information necessary to provide our informational services.

Last updated 02 September 2026
Overview

Egyptian Horizon Guides (eg-guides.lat) provides travel guides and destination insights for the traveller into Egypt. We recognize that trust begins with how we handle your personal information, and this policy describes in plain language what data we collect, why we collect it, and how you can exercise your rights over it.

Our platform offers informational resources — from coastal retreats and desert exploration guidance to cultural etiquette and regional cuisine — without relying on commercial hype or official jargon. The same straightforward approach applies to how we handle your personal data.

01

Data Collection

We collect limited personal data when you voluntarily contact us via email or our contact form. This typically includes your name and email address — enough to respond to your enquiry and nothing more. We do not ask for sensitive details unrelated to your request, and we never require registration to read our egypt travelling guides.

We also collect non-identifiable technical data, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, to analyze site traffic and improve our content. This technical data helps us understand which destinations readers explore most and where our guides could be clearer. We do not use this data to identify individual users or build personal profiles.

Voluntary data Name and email address provided when you contact us directly.
— Form / Email
Technical data IP address, browser type, pages visited — used in aggregate only.
— Automatic
What we do not collect Government identifiers, financial account numbers, or sensitive personal details.
— N/A
02

Use of Information

The information we collect serves three narrow purposes: responding to your inquiries, improving the quality of our egypt travelling guides, and maintaining the technical security of our website. We do not use your personal information for marketing, and we do not sell or rent it to third parties under any circumstances.

Your data remains within our internal system and is accessed only by authorized personnel who need it to answer your question or maintain the site. When a reader asks about coastal destinations, packing essentials, or local customs, the email thread is handled by a small team — not routed through advertising networks or data brokers.

Plain-language summary

We use your name and email only to reply to you. We use traffic data only to see which pages are read and to keep the site running smoothly. No advertising profiles, no data sold, no third-party marketing lists.

03

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. For example, email correspondence is typically archived for up to one year so we can provide continuity if you follow up with a second question about the same trip. After that window, the correspondence is deleted from our active systems.

Technical logs — IP addresses, browser data, page access records — are purged on a regular basis according to our internal maintenance schedule. We do not keep server logs indefinitely, and we do not archive traffic data in a form that could be tied back to a named individual. You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at the email address provided below.

04

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience and gather aggregate data about site traffic. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help us understand how you interact with our pages — for example, which guide sections are opened most often and how long readers spend on a given destination page.

You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may impact some functionalities of the site, such as remembering your position in a long guide. For detailed information about the specific cookies we use and how to manage them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. This includes the use of encrypted connections (SSL) across all pages of eg-guides.lat and secure server environments for any stored correspondence.

While no method of transmission over the internet is fully secure, we follow industry standards to safeguard your information. Access to personal data within our team is limited to the individuals who need it to respond to your enquiry, and internal handling procedures are reviewed periodically.

Security measures in place
  • SSL encryption on all site pages.
  • Restricted internal access — only authorized personnel handle correspondence.
  • Regular purging of technical logs and expired email threads.
  • Periodic review of internal handling procedures.
07

User Rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to request corrections, or to ask for its deletion. You also have the right to object to the processing of your data for certain purposes and to request a copy of the information you provided to us.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to acknowledge your request within a reasonable timeframe and to complete it without undue delay. We may ask for clarification to confirm your identity before disclosing or deleting records.

Right to access Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to correct Ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete details.
Right to delete Request removal of your personal data from our systems.
Right to object Object to processing for specific purposes.
08

Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date shown in the header above. When a change materially affects how we handle your data, we will note it clearly rather than burying it in quiet edits.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your privacy. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
