In addition, and in common with many other websites and online services, we may use “cookies” to store
and sometimes track information about you, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address. A cookie is a
small amount of data sent from the server which is stored on your PC’s hard drive. You may see a

cookies we use and what information they might collect. We may also use banners and pop-ups from time
to time to give you options around cookies use. You can also set your browser to refuse cookies or ask
your browser to show you where cookies have been set up. Please note however that certain services are
only activated by the presence of a cookie and, if you choose to reject the cookie, a particular on-line
feature may not be available to you. You can learn more about cookies here.

about how you use the Websites and the data you choose to share with us (including data you

Websites. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our
website, use a shopping cart or make use of e-billing services.
• Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognize and count the number of visitors
and to see how visitors move around the Websites when they are using it. This helps us to
improve the way the Websites work, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they
are looking for easily.
• Functionality cookies. These are used to recognize you when you return to the Websites. This
enables us to personalize our content for you, greet you by name and remember your
preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).
• Targeting cookies. These cookies record your visit to the Websites, the pages you have visited
and the links you have followed. We will use this information to make the Websites and the
advertising displayed on it more relevant to your interests. We may also share this information

We may collect Personal Information about you from publicly available sources (either ourselves or via
third parties) in connection with our legitimate business interests.
We may also receive information from third parties who collect Personal Information from you and pass it
on to us. To the extent necessary, the third party collecting this data is responsible for obtaining the

following ways (depending on the types of information): (i) so that we can perform a contract with you; (ii)
for the purposes of legal compliance; and (iii) for the purposes of our legitimate business interests
(namely to carry out and improve our business, analyze the use of our Websites and services and support
our customers and Website users).
All of the Personal Information described above will be stored on Vision Fairs’ user database (unless you
notify us that you no longer wish us to retain such information, in which case it will be deleted). Vision
Fairs will only use your Personal Information to contact you (for example by email, mail or telephone) for
those purposes to which you have previously consented on the site or where we otherwise have a right to
do so. For example, if you register on the site, Vision Fairs will email you Vision Fairs’ newsletter and, if
you wish, contact you about relevant products and services offered by Vision Fairs or by reputable third
parties. Vision Fairs will also contact you to market its products and/or services where it has obtained
your details during a sale of any of its products or services. If you do not wish to receive information
about Vision Fairs’ and/or third parties’ products and services, please indicate your preference via the
“subscription preferences” link at the bottom of the home page. You may cancel your subscription to
Vision Fairs’ newsletter at any time by clicking on the link at the foot of any edition of the newsletter or
marketing communication.
Should you request us to amend or suppress records containing your information we will endeavor to do
so as promptly as practical, however you may receive communications for a transitional period while we
process the records.
Vision Fairs will also use the information which you provide in aggregate form (i.e., so that no individual
users are identifiable) to determine demographic profiles and browsing patterns to:
• develop marketing profiles and assist strategic development;
• manage Vision Fairs’ relationship with its sponsors and advertisers;
• enable site audits to be performed; and
• enable Vision Fairs to review, develop and improve the services which it offers.
In addition, Vision Fairs will use your information to notify you about changes to our services.
Vision Fairs will also use the Personal Information collected from your use of the Websites to administer
the Websites and for internal operations, including troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research,
statistical and survey purposes, to improve our site to ensure that content is presented in the most
effective manner for you and for your computer, to allow you to participate in interactive features of our
service, when you choose to do so, as part of our efforts to keep the Websites safe and secure, to
measure or understand the effectiveness of advertising we serve to you and others, and to deliver relevant
advertising to you, and to make suggestions and recommendations to you and other users of our site
about goods or services that may interest you or them.
4. Keeping your personal information up to date
We take all reasonable action to ensure that the information we collect, and use is accurate, complete and

for us to hold it; or (c) transfer any information we hold about you to a specified third party. If you wish to

Vision Fairs takes steps to guard against unauthorized access to the Personal Information of the users of
the Websites. Although it makes every effort to create a secure environment for your Personal
Information, Vision Fairs cannot guarantee the safety of any Personal Information which is transmitted to
us on-line and/or via email as, unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not
completely secure. Although Vision Fairs will take appropriate technical and organizational measures to
protect your Personal Information, any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your
information, we will use appropriate technical and organizational measures to try to prevent unauthorized
access.
We will only keep your Personal Information for as long as we reasonably require it and, in any event, only
for as long as the Egyptian Data Protection Law allows.
Where Vision Fairs has given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access
certain parts of the Websites, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not
to share a password with anyone.
