By interacting with EGT, you acknowledge the practices described in this document.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information through various channels to facilitate our operations. This includes:
- Directly Provided Data: When registering for an event, creating a profile, or contacting us, you may provide your full name, date of birth, gender, contact details, nationality, handicap, and payment information.
- Sporting and Tournament Data: During your participation, we generate and record data such as registration details, tee times, scores, event results, Order of Merit points, and general performance statistics.
- Automated Technical Data: Our website automatically collects standard log data, including IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and navigation patterns, to ensure proper functionality and optimize user experience.
3. Purposes and Legal Basis for Processing
EGT processes your personal information strictly for legitimate organizational and sporting purposes. The primary legal bases for our processing activities include fulfilling our contractual obligations to you (such as tournament administration), complying with legal requirements, and pursuing our legitimate interests in promoting and developing golf in Egypt. Specifically, your data is used to manage registrations, verify eligibility, publish rankings, process payments, and communicate administrative updates.
4. Public Records, Photography, and Media
Due to the competitive and public nature of EGT events, certain sporting information is inherently public. Player names, categories, scores, and rankings will be published on our website, leaderboards, and promotional materials. Additionally, EGT tournaments are subject to photography and video recording. By participating, you acknowledge that your likeness, voice, and interviews may be captured and utilized by EGT, our sponsors, and media partners for broadcasting, archival, and marketing purposes.
5. Disclosure of Information to Third Parties
EGT does not sell personal information. We may share your data with trusted third parties strictly to facilitate our services. These entities include golf club venues, event organizers, payment gateways, IT and cloud hosting providers, and professional advisors. In circumstances required by law, we may also disclose information to regulatory authorities. All third-party processors are bound by confidentiality obligations appropriate to the services they provide.
6. International Data Transfers
In the course of utilizing cloud-based infrastructure or international service providers, your data may be transferred to and stored in jurisdictions outside of Egypt. EGT ensures that any such international transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection laws, employing appropriate safeguards to guarantee data security.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website utilizes cookies and similar tracking technologies to retain user preferences, maintain session security, and analyze site traffic. While essential cookies are necessary for the website’s operation, you maintain control over non-essential cookies through your browser settings. Disabling specific cookies may, however, impact certain functionalities of the EGT website.
8. Data Security and Retention
We implement robust technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, or unlawful destruction. EGT retains your personal information only for the duration necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. This includes maintaining historical tournament records, resolving disputes, and adhering to financial and legal retention mandates.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable data protection regulations, you hold specific rights regarding your personal data. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information. Furthermore, you have the right to restrict or object to certain processing activities, including opting out of direct marketing communications.

EGT events may include participants under the age of 18, subject to specific tournament regulations. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors without obtaining appropriate consent from a parent or legal guardian. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data without proper authorization, please notify us immediately.
