You can reach us about privacy at info.turqwaz@gmail.com or +20 122 310 1215. Our Data Protection Officer can be reached at [DPO contact].
2What data we collect
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Identity & contact | Name, phone number, email, delivery and billing address. |
| Order & account | Order history, reservations, account credentials, communications with us. |
| Payment | Payment method and status. We do not store full card numbers — these are handled by our payment providers. |
| Installation (Supply & Apply) | Site survey details and access information you provide for works at your premises. |
| Technical & usage | Device, browser type, IP address, and how you use the Platform (via cookies — see section 9). |
3How we use your data & legal basis
- To fulfil your order — process purchases, deliver goods, provide Supply & Apply, issue invoices and handle returns and refunds.
- To meet legal obligations — tax, invoicing, consumer-protection and record-keeping duties under Egyptian law.
- To provide customer service — respond to your questions, complaints and warranty claims.
- To improve the Platform — understand usage and keep the service secure.
- For marketing — only where you have consented (see section 8).
4Sharing your data
We safeguard your data and do not sell it or disclose it except as permitted by law or with your express consent.
We share data only with parties who help us serve you, under appropriate safeguards: couriers and logistics partners, payment and instalment providers, installation crews for Supply & Apply, IT and hosting providers, and authorities where the law requires.
5International transfers
[Confirm whether any personal data is transferred or stored outside Egypt — e.g. cloud hosting, analytics or payment providers. If so, describe the safeguards and the PDPC permit basis relied on.]
6How long we keep your data
We keep your data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymise it. Transaction records are kept for the periods required by Egyptian tax and commercial law. Account data is kept while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterwards. [Confirm specific retention periods.]
7Your rights under the PDPL
Subject to the PDPL, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erase your data where there is no lawful reason to keep it;
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing already carried out;
- Object to or restrict certain processing; and
- Complain to the Personal Data Protection Centre.
To exercise any right, email info.turqwaz@gmail.com. We respond within the period required by law and may need to verify your identity first.
8Marketing & your choices
We send electronic marketing only where you have consented, and every marketing message includes a simple way to withdraw that consent.
Withdrawing marketing consent does not affect service messages we must send you about an order — such as order confirmations, delivery updates and invoices.
9Cookies & tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the Platform work, remember your preferences, and understand usage. You can manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner and your browser settings.
[Add a link to a full Cookie Notice and list the cookie categories used — strictly necessary, functional, analytics, marketing.]
10Data security
We take the precautions necessary to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of your data, and we require our providers to do the same. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and to respond quickly to any incident.
Breach notification
[Confirm the internal process for the PDPL breach-notification timeline (e.g. 72 hours) and who is responsible.]
11Children
The Platform is intended for adults. Consistent with our Terms, you must be at least 21 to place an order. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
