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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
View Cookie PolicyThird-Party Links
Our website contains links to external sites — such as official portals or transit schedules — that may help you plan travel logistics. These links are provided for your convenience and are clearly marked as external. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party websites.
We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any external site you visit through a link on Egyptian Horizon Guides. Once you leave our domain, your data is governed by that site's own terms, not ours. We do not embed tracking pixels from those external sites into our pages, and we do not share your personal information with them.
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.
- 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.
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.
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.
