PDPL Compliance for Logistics in Egypt

PDPL guide for Egyptian logistics, courier and last-mile delivery apps. Driver tracking, recipient data, dashcams, address minimisation, partner couriers.

Frequently asked questions

Is GPS tracking of drivers allowed?

Yes, when proportionate to a legitimate purpose (safety, dispatch, fraud), with transparency and a clear policy. Always-on tracking off-shift is hard to justify.

Are partner couriers our processors?

Often they're separate controllers with their own purposes. Define this in writing — a controller-to-controller agreement, plus joint commitments on customer DSRs and breaches.

Can we keep customer addresses for analytics?

Yes, but minimise: aggregate to a coarse area (district/grid), drop the exact street/number after a defined retention period, and document the analytics purpose separately.

What about dashcam footage that captures bystanders?

It's still personal data. Keep retention short, restrict access to claims/safety reviewers, and have a process to redact or delete on request.

Do drivers count as employees, contractors, or data subjects?

All three. Their employment-law and contractor-law rights interact with PDPL data-subject rights. Treat their consent and access requests like any other data subject's, on top of labour-law obligations.
