FORTEC Egypt takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. The following data protection statement provides an overview of how we safeguard your information in connection with our website. Please note that this statement does not apply to the websites of other companies that may be accessed via hyperlinks from our site.

Processing and use of personal data

Personal data on this website is collected solely on a voluntary basis (see "Registration" or "Newsletter/Product Enquiry"). We do not identify individual visitors unless they voluntarily provide contact details or additional information through one of our web forms or other means of communication (e.g., email). Any data you choose to share is used exclusively for the purpose for which it was submitted. Under no circumstances will this data be sold or shared with third parties, unless required by law or explicitly authorised by you.

FORTEC Egypt is unable to associate this data with any specific individual. This data will not be combined with other data sources, such as cookies, newsletter subscriptions, or product enquiries. It will be deleted following statistical evaluation.

Cookies

In several areas of our website, we use so-called cookies—for example, as part of the statistical evaluations mentioned above. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. These are small text files stored on your computer by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies," meaning they are automatically deleted once you leave our website

Any cookies that are not automatically deleted help us recognise if our website has been accessed from your computer before. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. When cookies are used—for example, in the context of the statistical evaluations mentioned above—the data is collected, used, and stored exclusively in a pseudonymous form. This data is not used to personally identify individual users, nor is it combined or compared with other data you may have provided to us.

You can control how cookies are handled by adjusting the settings in your browser—for example, by allowing all cookies, accepting them on a case-by-case basis, or blocking them entirely.

When using certain services on our website, you may be asked to provide your email address along with additional contact details and/or information about yourself or your organisation. Supplying this data is entirely voluntary. We clearly state the purpose for which the information is requested and indicate which details are required for that purpose and which are optional. Mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk.

If you register for our newsletter distribution list, your data will be stored in our Constant Contact profile. This profile is accessible only by FORTEC Egypt, and your information will be used exclusively for newsletter-related purposes.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies—text files placed on your computer—to help analyse how users interact with the site. The information generated by these cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymisation is activated, Google will truncate or anonymise the last octet of your IP address within Member States of the European Union and other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to Google servers in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on behalf of the website provider to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. Your IP address will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You can refuse the use of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please be aware that doing so may affect the full functionality of this website.

Further information regarding Google’s terms of use and data privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html. Please note that on this website, the Google Analytics code includes the extension “anonymizeIp” to ensure IP addresses are collected in an anonymised form (known as IP masking).

Social Media

This website contains links to the social networking platforms Twitter and LinkedIn. When you access a page that includes features from these third parties, your browser establishes a direct connection with their servers. FORTEC Egypt has no control over the scope or processing of data collected by these external providers.

SSL Encryption

For security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential information—such as enquiries you send to us—this website uses SSL encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol displayed in your browser's address bar.

If the SSL encryption is active, the data you have transmitted to us cannot be accessed by third parties.

Further information

Your trust is very important to us. We are happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the processing of your personal data. If this data protection statement does not address your concerns, or if you need further information on a specific section, please feel free to contact us at info.egypt@fortec-integrated.de.
