When you use our website, we and our website-service providers may automatically receive limited technical data, such as:

IP address;

Browser type, device type and operating system;

Pages visited, date and time of access, referring pages and website interactions;

Cookie identifiers and similar technology data; and

Security, diagnostic and error-log information.

D. Information from other sources

Where lawful and relevant to our services, we may receive professional or business information from publicly available sources, referrals, recruitment platforms, clients, service providers or business partners.

 

3. How We Use Personal Data

We may use personal data to:

Respond to enquiries and communicate with prospective or existing clients and partners;

Assess business requirements and prepare proposals or scopes of work;

Provide consulting, market-entry, outsourcing, recruitment and related services;

Process job applications, evaluate candidates and manage recruitment;

Verify information supplied to us where lawful and necessary;

Operate, maintain, secure and improve the website and our services;

Detect, prevent and investigate fraud, misuse, cybersecurity threats or other unlawful activity;

Maintain appropriate business, recruitment, compliance and audit records;

Establish, exercise or defend legal rights and claims;

Comply with legal, regulatory, court or governmental requirements; and

Send business updates or marketing communications where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by applicable law.

We will not use personal data for a new, incompatible purpose without providing appropriate notice and, where required, obtaining consent.

 

4. Legal Grounds for Processing

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

Your prior, informed consent;

Taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or performing a contract with you;

Compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation;

Protecting a legitimate interest of ITD Egypt or another person, where permitted by law and where that interest does not override your fundamental rights and freedoms; or

Establishing, exercising or defending legal rights.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal will not affect processing lawfully carried out before the withdrawal.

 

5. Recruitment and Candidate Data

Candidate information is used solely for recruitment, workforce planning, employment-related administration and related legal or compliance purposes.

We may share relevant candidate information with ITD Egypt personnel involved in recruitment and, where the vacancy relates to an outsourcing client, with that client or prospective client. We will do so only where necessary, subject to appropriate safeguards and, where required, after informing you or obtaining your consent.

Submitting an application does not guarantee an interview, offer or employment. We do not ask candidates to make payments as a condition of applying through our official website.

 

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website operation, security, accessibility and form functionality. Subject to the site's configuration and your choices, analytics or marketing technologies may also be used to understand website performance and engagement.

Where required, non-essential cookies will be used only after you have made a choice through the website's cookie controls. You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings; however, disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

Our website is built and hosted using Wix. Wix may process limited technical and usage information on our behalf in connection with hosting, security, forms, analytics and related website functions. Other approved service providers may perform similar functions.

 

7. Direct Marketing

We will send direct electronic marketing only where permitted by applicable law and, where required, after obtaining your prior consent. Marketing messages will identify the sender and provide a clear method to unsubscribe or withdraw consent.

You may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe option in a message or contacting info@itdegypt.net. We may retain a limited suppression record to ensure that your preference is respected.

 

8. When We Share Personal Data

We may disclose personal data only where necessary and lawful, including to:

ITD Egypt employees, representatives and authorised personnel who need it for their duties;

Website hosts, cloud-storage providers, IT and cybersecurity providers, communications providers and other vendors acting under our instructions;

Clients or prospective clients in connection with recruitment or outsourced staffing, subject to applicable notice, consent and safeguards;

Professional advisers, including lawyers, auditors, accountants and insurers;

Governmental, regulatory, judicial or law-enforcement authorities where required or permitted by law;

A purchaser, investor or successor in connection with a proposed or completed merger, restructuring, sale or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality; and

Other parties where you have expressly authorised the disclosure.

We do not sell personal data.

 

9. International Transfers

Because ITD Egypt works with international clients and uses technology service providers, personal data may need to be accessed, stored or processed outside Egypt.

Any cross-border transfer will be carried out in accordance with applicable Egyptian law. Where required, we will obtain consent and any necessary regulatory licence or permit, assess the recipient and destination, and apply contractual, technical and organisational safeguards designed to provide an appropriate level of protection.

 

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, regulatory, contractual, accounting or dispute-resolution requirements.

As a general approach:

Routine contact and business-enquiry data may be retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is needed for an ongoing business relationship or legal purpose;

Unsuccessful candidate data may be retained for up to 12 months after the recruitment process ends, unless the candidate consents to a longer talent-pool period or a different period is legally required;

Successful candidate data will become part of the relevant employment or personnel records and will be retained under the applicable employee privacy and retention rules; and

Technical logs and cookie data are retained according to operational need, website settings and applicable law.

We may retain information for longer where necessary to comply with law, respond to an authority, resolve a dispute, prevent fraud or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. When data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.

 

11. Data Security

We use reasonable and appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Measures may include access controls, confidentiality obligations, secure systems, backups, monitoring and service-provider safeguards.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If we become aware of a personal-data breach, we will investigate and provide legally required notifications to the competent authority and affected individuals within the applicable time limits.

 

12. Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

Know whether and how we process your personal data;

Access or obtain a copy of your personal data;

Correct, complete or update inaccurate personal data;

Request deletion or erasure of personal data;

Restrict processing to a specified purpose;

Object to processing or its results where it conflicts with your fundamental rights and freedoms;

Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and

Be notified of a personal-data infringement where required by law.

To exercise a right, email info@itdegypt.net with the subject line “Privacy Request". Please describe your request and provide enough information for us to verify your identity and locate the relevant data. We may request additional identification where reasonably necessary and permitted by law. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

You may also have the right to submit a complaint to Egypt's competent Personal Data Protection authority.

 

13. Children

This website and our services are directed to businesses and adult job applicants. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18 through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

 

14. Third-Party Links

The website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms, including LinkedIn. Those third parties control their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy notices before providing personal data. ITD Egypt is not responsible for third-party websites or their privacy practices.

 

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, website features, vendors or legal obligations. The current version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where a change is material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate or required.
