Template for legal review. This policy describes how the website works. MECSN should have it reviewed against the data protection laws that apply to it (for example Egypt’s Personal Data Protection Law, the UAE PDPL or DIFC/ADGM rules, and GDPR where relevant) and add its legal entity name and address before launch.

How we use it
We use this information to assess applications, run events, publish approved job listings and respond to enquiries. We publish a member or company profile only after approval and with your separate, explicit consent. We do not sell personal information.
How we protect it
Application documents are stored outside the public media library and are only accessible to authorised MECSN administrators. Access to applications is restricted by role.
Your choices
You can ask us to access, correct or delete your information, or withdraw consent to a public profile, at any time through the contact form.
Retention
We keep application records for as long as needed to manage membership and meet legal obligations, and delete unsuccessful applications after a reasonable period.
