Providing the best communication services in Egypt is our goal, and protecting your
privacy is
our priority!
To offer you features of My Orange, Orange cash, and UCtrl+ applications, send you personalized
recommendations,
and help improve our products and services, different apps will share certain information from your
device
within our company. This privacy statement supplement clarifies details about the information that is
collected
by the My Orange app and how it will be used. For further information about privacy, please see our main
privacy
policy.
What information does Orange collect from you?
When you use the basic features of My Orange, for example checking your billing details, viewing your
data plans,
and viewing information about how much data a particular app is consuming, this information about such
interactions are recorded on our servers.
More Information about the quality and use of your connectivity services and apps:
Unless you have disabled the collection through the app settings, My Orange app will regularly send us
information about the coverage, connectivity, data usage related to your connectivity services, the
applications
on your device, and your location. As well as information about your device.
How do we use this information?
In addition to using the data to the extent necessary to provide you with the services you've requested
- for
example to show you how much data an app consumes - we also use the data to help us improve our networks
and
services as well as to make personalized recommendations to you.
Helping us improve our networks, app experience, and services:
We analyze the collected information to diagnose connectivity, coverage, or connection quality problems,
understand connectivity needs from the usage of mobile data, Wi-Fi, and apps, and use such insights to
make
improvements to our network and services. This may include, for example:
- Improving the quality of the network, for example through a better understanding of the exact areas
with low
network performance or areas of high consumption of data - this helps us prioritize new site
implementation
and otherwise improve network performance.
- Helping us deal with performance issues caused by poorly performing devices.
- Improving our commercial models and offers based on an improved understanding of the patterns
related to the
use of apps and connection quality.
- Improving the performance and design of My Orange by understanding which features of the app are
popular and
how those features perform on different types of devices.

you. We
may, for example:
- Recommend a new or a different bundle for you based on the way you use your connectivity services.
- Personalise VeryMe Rewards.

removed
in the app before sending such information to Orange Egypt - we then process the collected information
anonymously. We do not intend to use the information to identify you or any other customer personally
and we
have appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to prevent that from happening.
