Privacy Policy
This policy explains how OSINT Scope handles personal information received through this website and our business communications.
Who we are
OSINT Scope is a Cairo-based strategic research, verification, investigative journalism, and training company serving clients and partners internationally.
For questions or requests concerning personal information, email info@osint-scope.com.
Information we receive
This website does not currently use a contact form, create user accounts, or accept payments. We may receive personal information when you contact us by email or communicate with us about a project, including your name, contact details, organisation, message, and any information you choose to provide.
Our hosting platform records website traffic automatically and provides limited statistics such as page views and unique visitors. The hosting provider may also process technical logs needed to operate, secure, and maintain the website.
How we use information
We use personal information only where reasonably necessary to:
- respond to enquiries and discuss possible work;
- prepare, perform, and manage commissioned services or collaborations;
- maintain the security and operation of this website;
- understand general website use; and
- meet legal, regulatory, safeguarding, or professional obligations.
Where applicable, processing may be based on your consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, legitimate business interests, or compliance with law.
Sharing and international processing
We do not sell personal information. We may share it only when reasonably necessary with trusted service providers, professional advisers, authorised project collaborators, or public authorities where required by law or needed to protect legal rights and safety.
Because we work internationally and use online service providers, information may be processed outside your country. Where required, we will take reasonable steps to use an appropriate legal basis and safeguards for such processing.
Retention and security
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was received, for legitimate record-keeping, or as required by law. We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information, but no email or internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your choices and rights
Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have rights to ask whether we hold your personal information and to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or withdrawal of consent. You may also object to certain processing or raise a complaint with the appropriate data-protection authority.
Send requests to info@osint-scope.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Children, links, and updates
This website is intended for professional and organisational audiences and is not directed to children. It may link to third-party websites whose privacy practices are outside our control.
We may update this policy when our website, services, or legal obligations change. The current version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
This page is a practical general policy, not legal advice. It should be reviewed by qualified Egyptian counsel before OSINT Scope launches publicly or begins collecting additional information through forms, newsletters, payments, or user accounts.
