Privacy Notice

1. Who We Are

Food Guard Compliance, operating under the name GUARDEX (“GUARDEX,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), provides food regulatory affairs, compliance, and export-readiness consulting services.

This Privacy Notice explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information submitted through the GUARDEX 10K Giveaway campaign.

2. Information We Collect

When you submit an entry to the GUARDEX 10K Giveaway, we may collect:

  • Company name and country.
  • Contact person's name and job title.
  • Business email address.
  • Food product category.
  • Intended export or target markets.
  • A brief description of the company's main regulatory challenge.
  • Any additional information you voluntarily provide in the campaign form.

Please do not submit confidential business information, proprietary formulas, trade secrets, identity documents, or sensitive product files through the giveaway form.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

  • Receive and administer giveaway entries.
  • Assess eligibility under the campaign rules.
  • Conduct the random draw and identify selected participants.
  • Contact selected participants and arrange their complimentary regulatory consultation.
  • Respond to campaign-related inquiries.
  • Maintain appropriate records of campaign administration and address legitimate legal or compliance requirements.

Submitting an entry does not automatically subscribe you to unrelated marketing communications. Where separate consent is required for marketing, we will request it separately.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal information on an applicable lawful basis, which may include consent, steps taken at your request, legitimate interests in administering the campaign, and compliance with legal obligations, as permitted by the laws that apply to the relevant processing.

Where consent is the applicable legal basis, you may withdraw it subject to applicable law. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully carried out before withdrawal.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share relevant information with:

  • Authorized GUARDEX personnel responsible for administering the campaign.
  • Service providers who support our business operations, communications, data storage, or campaign administration, subject to appropriate safeguards.
  • Meta Platforms and its relevant services, in connection with the lead form and advertising platform.
  • Competent authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Meta may process information under its own privacy policies and terms. Please review Meta's privacy information for details about its processing activities.

6. International Data Transfers

GUARDEX may operate across Egypt and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets. Where personal information is transferred across borders, we will take measures required by applicable law and implement appropriate safeguards where necessary.

7. Data Retention

We retain campaign information only for as long as reasonably necessary to administer the giveaway, contact selected participants, arrange consultations, maintain appropriate records, and meet applicable legal requirements.

The specific retention period for giveaway entries will be determined and documented by GUARDEX before the campaign is launched. Information will be securely deleted or anonymized when it is no longer required, subject to applicable legal obligations.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the processing of your personal information. You may also have the right to object to certain processing, withdraw consent where applicable, or lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will handle requests in accordance with applicable law.

10. Children's Privacy
