- We use them only to screen Your policies and prepare Your report.
- Our AI reads the pages needed for the screening. It runs from Our own servers through an AI service that works for Us under contract (see “Who We Share Your Personal Data With”). A named Hadbrok broker checks and signs every report.
- Only Your named broker, Our screening team and that AI service see Your documents.
- If You send documents that contain other people’s data, such as a staff list, You confirm that You are allowed to share them with Us for this purpose.
- If no business follows, We delete Your documents within 90 days.
- Your report is confidential. We never share it without Your written approval.
8. Who We Share Your Personal Data With
#- Insurers: the insurers We approach for quotes or to place Your cover and, where needed for Your policy or claim, reinsurers, claims administrators and loss adjusters they appoint.

|---|---|
| Quote requests that do not lead to a policy | 12 months, then deleted |
| Policy Screening documents when no business follows | Deleted within 90 days |

11. Your Rights
#Under Law No. 151 of 2020 You have the right to:
- know what Personal Data We hold about You, and obtain access to it;
- withdraw Your consent at any time (this does not affect processing carried out before);
- ask Us to correct, update, complete or delete Your Personal Data;
- ask Us to restrict the processing of Your Personal Data;
- be informed of any breach affecting Your Personal Data;
- object to processing that conflicts with Your fundamental rights and freedoms, and to direct marketing at any time.
To use any of these rights, contact Us at info@hadbrok.com or +20 (122) 235 2235. We may ask You to confirm Your identity. We will answer within the time limits set by the law and its Executive Regulations.
If You are not satisfied with Our answer, You can complain to the Personal Data Protection Center (PDPC): portal.pdpc.gov.eg.
12. Security of Your Personal Data
#The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us. In line with the FRA’s rules, We keep client data on secure servers and treat it as confidential:
- encrypted connections (HTTPS) for the Website, the quote app and uploads;
- personal staff logins with roles, so each person sees only what their job needs;
- each broker’s data kept separate. We test the security of Our systems regularly, as the FRA requires.
No method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. If a breach puts Your Personal Data at risk, We will notify the PDPC within 72 hours of becoming aware of it and inform You within three working days of that notification, as the Executive Regulations require.
13. Children's Privacy
#The law treats data about children as Sensitive Data. We do not collect Personal Data directly from children.
When a parent or legal guardian adds a child to a family quote or policy, We use the child’s details only for that quote or policy, and only with the parent’s or legal guardian’s explicit written consent, as the law requires.
If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us and We will delete it. For quotes, the quote app asks only for a child’s age, never their name; full details are collected only when a policy is placed, with the parent’s or legal guardian’s written consent.
14. Links to Other Websites
#Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
15. Changes to this Privacy Policy
#We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
We will let You know via email and/or a prominent notice on Our Service, prior to the change becoming effective and update the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
