1. Who we are

Begory Advance Hire (“Begory”, “we”, “us”) is an Egypt-based recruitment and mobility company. We source, screen and help relocate skilled Egyptian talent for international and local employers, and we offer related services in Egypt such as Employer of Record, payroll and HR support.

This policy explains how we collect, use, share and protect personal data when you use our website, contact us, or submit an application (including CVs) as a job seeker or as an employer.

2. Whose data we process

  • Employers and their staff — company contacts who enquire about hiring, request workers, or use our Egypt EOR / payroll / HR services.
  • Job seekers and candidates — people who apply for work through our Google Form, email, WhatsApp, website forms, or who we contact as part of a recruitment assignment.
  • Website visitors — limited technical data from browsing (see Cookies).

3. Data we collect

3.1 From employers

  • Name, job title, company name, work email, phone / WhatsApp, country
  • Hiring brief: roles, headcount, destination country, start date, salary range, accommodation arrangements, and similar requirements
  • Contract and billing details needed to deliver a service
  • Messages you send us by form, email or WhatsApp

3.2 From job seekers and candidates

  • Identity and contact details (name, phone, email, city / governorate, nationality)
  • CV / résumé and optional certificates (education, trade certificates, licences, language level, work history)
  • Answers to application questions (experience, preferred destinations, availability)
  • Documents needed for work-permit or visa files when you are selected (for example passport details, medical results, criminal-record certificates, translations) — only as required for a live placement
  • Interview notes, trade-test results and recorded assessments where you take part
  • Consent choices and communications preferences

Job-seeker applications submitted through our public Google Form are collected in Google Forms and stored in Google Drive / Google Sheets under an account controlled by Begory (currently shared with our Begory Social operations mailbox). File uploads (CV and certificates) are saved to that Google Drive. You must sign in with a Google account to upload files; that sign-in is handled by Google, not by Begory.

3.3 From the website

  • Technical logs such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited and approximate location derived from IP
  • Cookie and analytics data if those tools are enabled (see section 9)

We do not ask for special-category data (health, religion, political opinions, etc.) unless a destination country’s permit process or a medical check required by the employer lawfully needs it. If that happens, we will tell you why and ask for explicit consent where required.

4. Why we use the data (purposes)

  • Respond to employer enquiries and provide recruitment, mobility, EOR, payroll or HR services
  • Source, screen, shortlist and present candidates to prospective employers
  • Arrange interviews, trade tests, document preparation, travel and relocation support
  • Keep employer and candidate records needed for contracts, compliance and aftercare
  • Improve our website and services
  • Send service messages (for example application status). Marketing messages only if you opt in, with an easy unsubscribe
  • Protect our rights, prevent fraud, and meet legal or regulatory duties

5. Legal bases

Depending on the situation and where you live, we rely on one or more of the following:

  • Consent — for example when you submit a CV through the Google Form, tick the consent box, or agree to share your profile with a named employer abroad; you can withdraw consent at any time (this does not undo processing already done lawfully).
  • Contract / steps before a contract — when we need the data to provide a service you or your company asked for.
  • Legitimate interests — running a recruitment business, matching candidates with roles, securing our systems and improving our site, balanced against your rights.
  • Legal obligation — where Egyptian law, tax, labour or immigration rules require us to keep or disclose certain records.

For people in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK or Switzerland, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) / UK GDPR may also apply when we process data about EU/UK employers or candidates in connection with placements into those countries.

In Egypt we process personal data in line with Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law No. 151 of 2020 and its executive regulations, as applicable to our activities.

6. Sharing with others

We do not sell personal data. We share it only when needed for the purposes above:

  • Prospective employers abroad — shortlists, CVs, trade-test results and related documents, only with the candidate’s consent (or another valid legal basis) and limited to what the employer needs to assess the hire.
  • Service providers — Google (Forms, Drive, Sheets, Workspace email), hosting (Namecheap / LiteSpeed for this website), WhatsApp / Meta for messaging, and any translation, medical, travel or visa-support partners we use for a placement.
  • Authorities — when required by law or by a work-permit / visa process (for example Egyptian or destination-country labour or immigration authorities).
  • Professional advisers — lawyers, accountants or insurers under confidentiality, when needed.

Anyone who receives data from us is expected to use it only for the agreed recruitment or compliance purpose.

7. International transfers

Begory is based in Egypt. When a candidate is considered for a role in Europe, the Gulf or another country, personal data is transferred to that country so the employer (and, where needed, authorities) can review the file.

For transfers related to the EEA/UK we use appropriate safeguards where required by law, together with the candidate’s informed consent to the transfer for that placement where consent is needed.

Google processes Form and Drive data on Google’s infrastructure; see Google’s privacy notices for where that data may be stored.

8. How long we keep data

We keep personal data no longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, after which it is deleted or anonymised, unless a longer period is required by law.

  • Unsuccessful job-seeker applications — kept while we may reasonably consider you for suitable roles, or until you ask us to delete them.
  • Placed candidates and closed employer projects — kept as needed for contracts, aftercare, tax and legal claims.
  • Employer enquiry records — kept while the enquiry is active and for a reasonable period afterwards; longer if a contract is signed.
  • Website logs and analytics — kept only as long as needed for security and site improvement.

9. Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for basic operation, security, performance (including caching), remembering preferences, and — where enabled — measuring traffic.

  • Essential cookies that are needed for the site to work.
  • Caching and performance cookies that help pages load reliably.
  • Analytics cookies, if used, to understand how visitors use the site; we ask for consent for non-essential cookies where required.
  • You can control cookies in your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect site features.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law (including GDPR where it applies, and Law No. 151 of 2020 in Egypt), you may have the right to:

  • Access a copy of your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete data (in some cases)
  • Restrict or object to certain processing
  • Data portability (where GDPR applies)
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (for example an EEA data-protection authority if GDPR applies to you, or the competent Egyptian data-protection authority)

To exercise these rights, email info@begoryadvancehire.com with the subject “Privacy request”. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We aim to reply within one month, as required by applicable law.

If your CV was submitted through Google Forms, note that Google also processes data under its own terms; some account-level settings are controlled by you in your Google account.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data (access-limited Google Drive/Sheets sharing, HTTPS on the website, restricted staff access). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; please only send us the documents we ask for.

12. Children

Our services are for adult workers and business contacts. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Third-party links

Our site may link to third-party sites (including Google Forms, LinkedIn, WhatsApp). Their privacy practices are their own; read their policies before sharing data with them.

14. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Important changes will be highlighted on the site or by email where appropriate.
