This notice explains what information we gather about you, what we use it for, who we share it with, and your rights regarding your personal data.
Last updated: July 2026
It is our policy to collect only the minimum information we require from you. If you believe we hold more information about you than is needed, or if you have any questions about how we handle your personal data, please contact us using the details below.
Although you do not have to provide any of your personal information to us, if we ask you to do so and you refuse, we may be unable to provide you with the information or professional services you request.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice, the way your personal information is processed by us, or would like to exercise one of your rights explained below, please contact us via:
We take every effort to minimise the personal data we collect and process to what is essential for communicating with you and delivering our professional services. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
Personal data we process may include, but is not limited to, clients, prospective clients, website visitors, suppliers, contractors and professional contacts.
Where we collect and store your personal data, we do so on one or more of the following bases:
We use personal information to:
We may obtain personal data from direct sources — such as communications with you by phone, email, WhatsApp or website form submissions — and, where appropriate, from publicly available professional sources or referrals from colleagues and business contacts.
To operate our firm and deliver services, we may use carefully selected service providers (for example website hosting, email delivery and IT support). These providers process data on our behalf and are expected to protect it appropriately.
We do not sell your personal data. We may share information where required by law, regulation, professional standards, or to protect our legal rights and the security of our systems and clients.
As a member of the BOKS International network, limited information may be shared with network members only where necessary to support a cross-border engagement or referral that you have requested or agreed to, and subject to appropriate confidentiality arrangements.
Some of our service providers or collaboration partners may process data outside Egypt, including in locations that form part of global cloud or IT infrastructure. Where such transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information remains protected through contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the processing.
We apply technological and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Access to personal data is limited to authorised persons who need it for legitimate professional purposes and who are expected to maintain its confidentiality.
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this notice, or as required by applicable law and professional obligations.
Prospect and marketing-related contact data that is no longer accurate or relevant is deleted or updated. Where we retain contact details based on a legitimate interest in professional outreach, we periodically review that data and do not keep it longer than necessary — typically for a period not exceeding five years before reassessment, unless a longer period is required for an active engagement or legal reason.
We actively minimise the personal data we request or hold. Unless you engage us professionally, we aim to store only what is necessary to make and maintain appropriate contact with you.
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:
