Privacy notice and application policy

Who is responsible?

Fajr Altanweer Association of the Blind, registration No. 7413 of 2008. Address: 331 Teraat Al-Jabal Street, Helmeyet Al-Zeitoun, Cairo. Privacy enquiries: [email protected].

Information collected and its purpose

Volunteer and employment applications collect your name, national ID number, birth date, gender, phone, email, governorate, full address, qualification and Braille experience. Employment applications also request the position applied for. We use these details to assess applications, check identity and consistency of information, contact applicants and coordinate their participation.

Skills, previous experience and details, volunteering interests and notes are optional as indicated on each form. Do not provide ID images, medical information, passwords or payment details. The website does not request identity-document uploads.

Consent and application policy

Required and optional fields are clearly identified. By ticking the consent box and submitting, you confirm the information is accurate and agree to its use for the purposes described here. You may withdraw consent by contacting us, which may prevent us from continuing to assess the application. Submitting does not guarantee acceptance or an employment offer. No application fee is charged.

Online applications are for people aged 18 or over. Younger applicants should contact the association to arrange an application with a parent or guardian; the online form does not accept applications from minors.

Access and service providers

Applications are stored in a nonpublic area of the website with encrypted application data. Website access is restricted to authorized association administrators. Notification emails contain only the application reference and an administration link, without the national ID number or other applicant details. Applications are not published and applicant data is not sold.

Hosting and email providers may process technical data as needed to deliver their services, and these services may operate outside Egypt. WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Google Maps links lead to external services governed by their own privacy policies. Maps and social posts are not embedded or loaded automatically.

Retention

Volunteer and employment applications are retained for no longer than 12 months from submission, then automatically removed from the application database when the daily maintenance task runs. You may request earlier deletion. Records of any subsequent employment or volunteering relationship are managed separately, with any additional retention requirements explained.

Security backup copies may remain until their backup cycle expires and are not used to process applications. Deleting a website record does not delete copies previously exported by an authorized administrator; the association is responsible for managing such external copies.

Cookies and form security

The website uses technical cookies required for operation and administrator login, and may remember the selected language. These forms do not add advertising or marketing tracking tools. Request-verification tokens, an anti-spam field and a temporary submission limit help protect the forms. The submission limit uses a temporary hashed connection identifier rather than storing an IP address in the application.

Your requests

You may request access, correction, deletion or withdrawal of consent by emailing [email protected]. Include your application reference if available; do not email your complete national ID number. We may request appropriate identity verification before acting.
