Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Kassa operates a cycling field atlas and community desk from El-Galaa, Tanta Qism 2, Second Tanta, Gharbia Governorate 6630284, Egypt. We publish route information, safety guidance, event announcements, and journal content for riders interested in Egypt — especially the Nile Delta region.

For privacy-related enquiries, contact us at [email protected] or +20 100 738 9996. Our website is kassa-eg.xyz.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy applies to personal data processed through:

• The website kassa-eg.xyz and its subpages
• Email, phone, and contact-form communications with our desk
• Event RSVPs and ride logistics correspondence
• Journal submissions and community contributions you choose to send us
• Cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy

This policy does not cover third-party websites linked from our pages. Those sites have their own privacy practices.

3. Information we collect

3.1 Information you provide directly

• Contact details — name, email address, phone number when you use the contact form, send email, or call us
• Message content — the text of your inquiry, route correction, journal draft, or RSVP notes
• Event and ride information — experience level, bike type, town of origin, fitness notes, or dietary requirements you voluntarily share for group rides
• Journal and media submissions — stories, photographs, or other content you submit for publication, including attribution preferences

3.2 Information collected automatically

• Server and security logs — IP address, browser type and version, referring URL, pages viewed, date and time of access, and similar technical data our hosting provider may record
• Cookie and storage data — essential localStorage for cookie consent preferences; optional analytics only if you accept (see Cookie Policy)
• Device information — general device category (mobile/desktop) inferred from browser data where logs are kept

We do not require account registration to browse the site. We do not knowingly collect payment card data through the website.

4. How we use your information

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Responding to inquiries — answering route questions, gear advice, and general desk correspondence
• Organising rides and events — confirming RSVPs, sending start pins and logistics, managing participant safety information you provide
• Publishing content — editing and publishing journal submissions with attribution you approve
• Improving the atlas — incorporating route corrections and understanding which content is useful (aggregate where possible)
• Website operation and security — maintaining uptime, preventing abuse, and debugging technical issues
• Legal compliance — meeting obligations under applicable law when required

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

5. Legal bases for processing

Depending on context and applicable law, we rely on:

• Consent — for optional analytics cookies and for publishing journal content or photographs you submit
• Contractual necessity — to respond to RSVPs and deliver event logistics you request
• Legitimate interests — to operate and improve kassa-eg.xyz, maintain security, and correspond about cycling activities, balanced against your rights
• Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information under law

6. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in these circumstances:

• Service providers — hosting, email delivery, or analytics providers who process data on our instructions and only as needed to operate kassa-eg.xyz
• Ride logistics — limited participant information (first name, contact number) may be shared with designated ride leaders or sweepers for a specific event you joined
• Legal requirements — when required by court order, lawful government request, or to protect rights, safety, or property
• Published content — journal pieces and approved attribution appear publicly on the site as you agreed

7. International transfers

Our desk is in Egypt. Hosting and email providers may process data in other countries. Where transfers occur, we take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

8. Retention

• Contact messages — kept as long as needed to resolve your request and for reasonable follow-up, then deleted or archived with access limited to desk operators
• Event records — RSVP details retained through the event and for a short period afterward for safety follow-up, then removed unless you join recurring activities
• Server logs — retained according to hosting provider defaults, typically rolling off within months unless needed for security investigation
• Analytics — if enabled after consent, kept in aggregate form where possible
• Published journal content — remains on the site until you request removal or we archive the piece

9. Your rights and choices

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Access personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of data no longer needed for the purposes collected
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Withdraw consent for optional cookies or published content (withdrawal does not affect prior lawful processing)
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority where applicable

To exercise these rights, email [email protected] with enough detail for us to identify your request. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

You can reject optional cookies via the site banner or clear site data in your browser to reset consent preferences.

10. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to a small informational website — HTTPS where supported, limited access to desk inboxes, and cautious handling of ride participant lists. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; please do not send highly sensitive documents through the contact form.

11. Children

The site is aimed at adults and teens riding with guardians. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 online. If you believe we have received such data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

12. Third-party links

Our pages may link to external maps, photo sources, or partner references. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Review their policies before submitting personal data.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Material changes may be noted on the site homepage or contact page. Continued use of kassa-eg.xyz after updates constitutes acknowledgment of the revised policy.
