This Privacy Policy explains how Gehad El-Sobky (“I”, “me” or “my”) collects, uses, stores and protects personal information when you visit this website, submit an enquiry or otherwise interact with my services.
By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not provide personal information through the website.
Information I collect

When you use the website, technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, approximate location, date and time of access, and diagnostic or security events.
How I use your information
I use personal information only where there is a legitimate business or legal reason to do so. This may include:
- Responding to enquiries and arranging clarity calls, consultations, coaching, mentoring or training.
- Understanding your needs and preparing relevant recommendations or proposals.
- Delivering and improving the website and my professional services.

Cookies and similar technologies
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep the website working, remember preferences such as language, improve security, understand website performance and measure how content is used.
Essential cookies may be placed where they are necessary for the website to function. Where consent is legally required for analytics, marketing or other non-essential cookies, those technologies should not be activated until you provide that consent. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality.
Forms, bookings and communications
Information submitted through website forms is used to review and respond to your request. Form and booking services may process technical data needed to deliver the submission, prevent spam and schedule meetings. Please do not submit confidential, financial, medical or other highly sensitive information unless it has been specifically requested through an appropriate secure channel.
When information may be shared
I may share limited personal information with trusted service providers that help operate the website or deliver requested services, such as website hosting, security, form processing, email, analytics, cloud storage and meeting-booking providers. These providers are expected to process information only for the relevant service and subject to appropriate safeguards.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, a valid legal process or a public authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property or the security of the website. If the business is reorganised or transferred, relevant information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to this policy and applicable law.
International data transfers
Some technology providers may process or store information in countries other than your own. Where this occurs, reasonable steps are taken to use providers and contractual arrangements designed to protect personal information in accordance with applicable requirements.
How long information is retained
Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to enquiries, providing services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes and meeting legal or regulatory obligations. Retention periods may vary according to the type of information and the applicable requirement. Information that is no longer required is deleted, anonymised or securely archived.
Information security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss. However, no website, transmission method or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your privacy rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access to personal information held about you, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or request a portable copy of information you provided.
To make a request, use the privacy contact shown on this page. I may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may need to be retained where there is a legal obligation or another lawful reason to do so.
Third-party links and embedded content
The website may link to or embed content from third-party websites and social platforms. Those services operate under their own privacy policies and may collect information when you interact with them. I am not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review their policies.
Children’s privacy
This website and my professional services are intended for business audiences and are not directed to children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website, please contact me so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
Changes to this policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes to the website, services, technology or legal requirements. The latest version will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” date will change when the page is revised.
