You may opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe or email opt-out link included in our email communications, or by contacting us directly.
To Improve Our Website and Services
We may use website activity, customer feedback, booking information, and communication history to improve our website, refine our tour offerings, understand visitor interests, troubleshoot technical issues, and develop better resources and services.
For Marketing and Advertising
We may use your information to help us understand audience interests, promote current or future tours, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and send relevant information about tours, events, resources, or related opportunities that may be of interest to you.
For Safety, Security, and Legal Purposes
We may use information to protect the safety and security of our website, customers, staff, partners, and Services. This may include fraud prevention, payment verification, responding to legal requests, enforcing our policies, resolving disputes, or protecting our legal rights.
Cookies, Logs, Analytics, and Advertising
Our website may use cookies, tracking pixels, log files, analytics tools, and similar technologies to improve website functionality, understand visitor activity, and support marketing efforts.
Cookies are small files placed on your device that help websites recognize your browser, remember certain preferences, and understand how visitors interact with the site. Most browsers allow you to control, block, or delete cookies through browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some website features.
We may use tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel to help us understand website traffic, measure advertising performance, and improve our communications. These third-party services may collect information about your interactions with our website and other websites over time, using cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
These tools may collect information such as pages visited, referring websites, browser type, device type, approximate location, and actions taken on the website. The information collected by these services is subject to their own privacy policies and terms.
How Information Is Shared
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share your information only in limited circumstances, including the following:
With Service Providers
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website, process payments, manage email communications, provide customer support, conduct marketing, analyze website traffic, or otherwise support our Services.
These service providers may include payment processors such as Stripe, email and CRM providers such as Brevo, website hosting providers, analytics providers such as Google Analytics, advertising platforms such as Facebook, and other technology or business service providers.
With Travel Partners
Because our Services involve travel, we may share necessary information with travel partners, tour operators, licensed guides, lodging providers, transportation providers, or other partners involved in arranging or delivering your tour experience. We only share information reasonably necessary for booking, coordinating, managing, or providing the Services you request.
For Legal or Security Reasons
We may preserve, use, or disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, governmental request, or court order. We may also disclose information to protect our rights, prevent fraud, investigate security concerns, enforce our terms or policies, or protect the safety of our customers, partners, staff, or others.
Aggregated or De-Identified Information
We may share information that has been aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify a specific person. This may include general website traffic, marketing performance, tour interest, or customer trend information.
Your Access to and Control of Personal Data
You may request to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information. You may also request to unsubscribe from marketing communications or ask questions about how your information is used.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact us through the contact information listed at the end of this Privacy Policy.
We will make reasonable efforts to respond to your request in accordance with applicable laws. In some cases, we may need to retain certain information for legitimate business, legal, accounting, security, or recordkeeping purposes.
Data Retention
We retain personal information indefinitely unless you request its removal, or unless we determine that it is no longer needed for legitimate business, legal, accounting, security, or operational purposes.
Because tour registration, communication history, and travel-related records may be needed for customer service, accounting, future communications, dispute resolution, or legal compliance, certain information may be retained even after a tour has concluded.
If you request deletion of your personal information, we will make reasonable efforts to remove it from active systems. Some information may remain in backups, archives, payment records, or other systems where deletion is not immediately practical or where retention is required or permitted by law.
Our Policy on Children
Our website and Services are not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Tour registrations and inquiries should be submitted by adults. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has submitted personal information to us may contact us to request deletion.
Information Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to help protect your personal information. These measures may include encryption, secure servers, limited access to personal information, password-protected systems, and other safeguards intended to protect against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have a security-related concern, please contact us.
International Travel and Information Transfers
Egypt Christian Tours is based in the United States. If you access our website or provide information to us from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or in other countries where our service providers or travel partners operate.
Because our tours involve international travel, certain information may also be shared with travel partners, licensed guides, transportation providers, lodging providers, or other parties involved in arranging or providing services outside the United States.
Privacy and data protection laws may differ from country to country. By using our Services or providing information to us, you consent to the transfer, processing, and storage of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, payment processors, travel partners, or other external services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit or use.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this website and update the “Last Updated” date below.
