The law that applies
Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law, Law No. 151 of 2020, governs how we handle your personal data. Its Executive Regulations were issued by Ministerial Decision No. 816 of 2025, and the Personal Data Protection Centre supervises the law. Where this notice and the law differ, the law applies.
What we collect and why
| Data | Where it comes from | Why we need it |
|---|---|---|
| Name, job title, work email and phone | Our forms, emails, calls and messages | To answer you, quote and deliver |
| Organisation, address, commercial register and tax card details | Quote, pre-order and trade account forms, and the documents you send | To check that we may supply you, and to invoice and deliver |
| Responsible researcher, research purpose and the signed end-use declaration | Research buyers | To show that research-grade products go to laboratories |
| The cosmetic products an ingredient is for | Cosmetic buyers | To check that cosmetic-grade products go into cosmetic manufacturing |
| Orders, payments, deliveries, batch numbers and claims | Our dealings with you | To supply you, trace batches, handle claims and keep accounts |
| How the website is used, only if you accept analytics cookies | Google Analytics | To see which pages are useful |
Documents such as a commercial register extract can carry the names of owners and managers. We use them only for the checks above.
We do not ask for health information and do not want it. Please do not send any.
Why we may use it
We use your data to take the steps you ask for before a contract and to perform the contract, to meet our legal duties (accounting, tax, and lawful requests from authorities), to keep records of whom we supplied and on what documents, and, for analytics, with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Who sees it
- Our own staff, and only those who need it.
- Couriers: the delivery name, address and phone.
- The companies that host this website, deliver our form messages and carry our email. The website passes form messages on to our inbox and keeps no copy of the message itself; files attached to a form, where a form accepts them, are kept with our records.
- Banks and payment providers, to process payments.
- A product's manufacturer, only as far as a claim or a batch question needs.
- Google, for analytics, only if you accepted analytics cookies.
- The Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA), customs, tax and other authorities, where the law requires.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising.
Data held outside Egypt
Our website, form and email providers may store or process data on servers outside Egypt. The law restricts the transfer of personal data abroad: in general the destination must give adequate protection and the transfer needs a licence or permit from the Personal Data Protection Centre, with limited exceptions. We transfer data only as the law allows.
Keeping it safe
This website encrypts what you send through it, and access to our records is limited to the people who need them. If a breach puts your data at risk, we inform the Personal Data Protection Centre, and you, within the time limits the law sets.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries that do not lead to an order: only as long as we need them to deal with the enquiry.
- Account, order, batch and declaration records: for as long as Egyptian law requires business and tax records to be kept.
Your rights
Under the law you can ask us to:
- tell you what personal data we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct, update, complete or erase it;
- limit our use of it to a stated purpose;
- stop a use you consented to, including analytics, at any time;
- stop processing that conflicts with your fundamental rights and freedoms;
- tell you of any breach affecting your data.
