Privacy Policy

1Introduction

Egytex operates an online portal for Egypt's textile and apparel industry, including a business directory, news, market data, research, a jobs marketplace, and events. This policy covers information we collect through the website, account registration, forms, and communications.

By using the site, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the services.

2Information we collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide. Account details (name, email, mobile number, password), company and business-profile information, job postings and applications, inquiries and messages, newsletter sign-ups, and advertising or media-kit requests.
• Information collected automatically. Device and browser type, IP address, approximate location, pages viewed, referring pages, and similar usage data collected through cookies and similar technologies.
• Information from third parties. Where applicable, information from analytics, verification, or anti-fraud providers, and from partners who help us operate the services.

3How we use your information

• To create and manage your account and verify your identity;
• To operate the directory, jobs, and other features, and to display listings you choose to publish;
• To respond to inquiries and provide customer and partnerships support;
• To send service messages and, where you have opted in, newsletters and industry alerts;
• To measure, maintain, and improve the services and their security;
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and technical issues;
• To comply with legal obligations.

4Legal basis for processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of: your consent; performance of a contract with you; our legitimate interests in operating and improving the services; and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

5Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences (such as language and currency), understand how the site is used, and support security. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect how the site works. Where required, we present a cookie notice and obtain consent for non-essential cookies.

6How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

• Other users, where you choose to publish it — for example, a company profile in the directory or a job posting;
• Service providers who process data on our behalf (hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment, and security), under appropriate confidentiality and data-processing terms;
• Authorities or third parties where required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Egytex, our users, or the public.

7Data retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.

8Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security; please protect your account credentials and notify us of any suspected unauthorised use.

9Your rights & choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, to withdraw consent, and to data portability. You can update most account information in your settings, unsubscribe from newsletters using the link in each email, or contact us using the details below to exercise your rights.

10International transfers

Egytex is based in Egypt and serves a global audience. Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps to ensure it is protected consistent with this policy and applicable law.

11Children's privacy

The services are intended for professional use and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

12Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
