  In relation to EGYPTAIR processing your personal data you may have specific rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The below explanation applies only to you if the GDPR applies to you and the respective data processing activity.
  
  You have the rights to ask us for further information on how we process your personal data; for a copy of your personal data; to correct, delete or restrict (stop any active) processing of your personal data; and to obtain the personal data you provide to us for a contract or with your consent in a structured, machine readable format, and to ask us to share (port) this data to another controller if such a sharing mechanism is available.

To exercise any of these rights, you can get in touch with us – or our data protection representative – using the details set out at the beginning of this policy.
