Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how EgyptGoldPrices.com ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, discloses and safeguards information in connection with your use of the website, calculators, APIs and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services you consent to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Information We Collect

We aim to collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the Services. The categories of information we may collect include:

• Technical data: IP address (typically truncated or hashed), user agent, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen size, language preference, and approximate region inferred from IP.
• Usage data: pages visited, sections viewed, time and date of visits, referring URLs, search terms used on the Site, and aggregated interaction events.
• Preferences: language selection (English / Arabic) and similar settings stored locally in your browser via cookies or local storage.
• Optional contact data: any information you voluntarily submit (e.g., when sending us an email).

We do not knowingly collect government-issued identifiers, payment card numbers, bank account details, biometric data, or any data that would constitute "sensitive personal data" under applicable law.

2. How We Use Information

• To operate, maintain, secure and improve the Services.
• To remember your language and display preferences.
• To analyse aggregate usage and diagnose technical issues.
• To detect, prevent and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

3. Legal Bases (where applicable)

Where data protection law applies, we rely on the following legal bases: (a) our legitimate interests in operating, securing and improving the Services; (b) your consent, where explicitly requested (for example for non-essential cookies); (c) compliance with legal obligations; and (d) performance of a contract, where relevant.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use a minimal set of cookies and local-storage entries that are strictly necessary to operate the Site (for example, to remember your language). We may, with your consent where required, use analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may degrade certain features.

5. Third-Party Services and Data Sources

The Services rely on third-party providers (for example, hosting, content delivery, analytics, market-data feeds, and font providers). Such providers may process limited technical data on our behalf in accordance with their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of any third party, and links from our Site to external sites do not imply endorsement.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

• Service providers: with vendors and contractors that provide infrastructure, security, analytics or similar services under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
• Legal compliance: where required by law, regulation, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
• Corporate transactions: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of assets.

7. International Data Transfers

The Services are operated from and hosted on infrastructure located in multiple jurisdictions. By using the Services, you acknowledge and consent that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence, which may have different data-protection rules. We take reasonable steps to ensure adequate protection.

8. Data Retention

We retain technical and usage data only for as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, after which it is deleted, anonymized or aggregated. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and applicable legal requirements.

9. Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is fully secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to certain processing of your personal information, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. To exercise any such right, please contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

11. Children's Privacy

The Services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the higher age threshold applicable in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

12. No Warranty; Limitation of Liability

The Services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability arising from any unauthorised access to, use of, or alteration of any information transmitted to or from the Services. See our Terms & Conditions for further limitation-of-liability provisions, which are incorporated by reference.

13. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the Services after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
