Respect for people is central to my work as an executive coach and leadership development professional. Whether you are visiting this website or considering working with me, I believe you deserve clarity about what information may be collected, why it is used, and how it is protected.
Who this policy applies to
This Privacy Policy applies to tamer-zanaty.com and to personal information handled in connection with enquiries about my executive coaching, team coaching, leadership development workshops, Enneagram workshops, and business consulting services.
In this policy, “I,” “me,” and “my” refer to Tamer Zanaty and, where relevant, people or service providers authorized to support these services. Separate agreements or notices may apply to particular coaching engagements or assessment tools; where those provide more specific information, they should be read alongside this policy.
Information that may be collected
The information involved depends on how you interact with the website and services.
- Enquiry and contact information: your name, email address, phone number, organization, job title, and information you choose to share when sending a message or requesting a consultation.
- Professional and engagement information: goals, areas of development, meeting preferences, and information relevant to a proposed or ongoing coaching, workshop, or consulting engagement.
- Assessment and feedback information: where expressly part of an engagement, responses to personality assessments, Enneagram-related exercises, 360-degree feedback, and development reflections.
- Communications: emails, requests, and other correspondence with you.
- Technical information: information ordinarily generated when visiting a website, such as IP address, browser or device details, pages viewed, referral information, and cookies, depending on the website configuration.
Please avoid sending sensitive personal information through an ordinary website contact form unless it is necessary and an appropriate secure method has been agreed.
How information is used
Personal information may be used to:
- Respond to enquiries and arrange consultations or meetings.
- Assess whether a coaching, workshop, or consulting service is suitable for your needs.
- Plan, deliver, and administer agreed professional services.
- Provide coaching-related materials, feedback, and follow-up communications.
- Maintain records, manage contractual obligations, and comply with applicable legal requirements.
- Maintain website functionality, prevent misuse, and improve the visitor experience.
- Send professional insights or updates where you have requested them or where otherwise permitted by applicable law; you can opt out of marketing communications.
Information is not used for unrelated purposes without an appropriate basis or, where required, your consent.
Confidentiality in coaching and assessments
Effective coaching depends on honest dialogue and mutual trust. Personal reflections, leadership challenges, assessment results, and coaching discussions are therefore treated as confidential within the boundaries established for the engagement and subject to applicable law.
For engagements sponsored by an employer or other organization, the scope of any progress reporting or sharing of assessment information should be agreed in advance with the relevant participants. The fact that an organization sponsors coaching does not, by itself, mean it should receive unrestricted access to individual coaching conversations.
Where assessments or 360-degree feedback involve other participants, access to responses, reports, and identifiable information is governed by the relevant engagement terms, assessment provider requirements, and applicable privacy obligations.
Important distinction: This website policy is not a substitute for the specific confidentiality and data-handling terms agreed before a coaching or organizational engagement begins.
Legal bases for handling information
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis, information is processed on one or more appropriate grounds, such as your consent, steps requested before entering into a contract, performance of an agreement, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests that are not overridden by your rights. The specific basis depends on the purpose and jurisdiction.
When information may be shared
Information may be shared, only as appropriate to the purpose, with authorized collaborators and service providers supporting website hosting, communications, scheduling, online meetings, assessment delivery, or professional services. These parties may have access to information needed to perform their work.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect legal rights, or with your permission. Coaching-specific disclosures are addressed in the relevant engagement arrangements.
Personal information is not sold as a standalone commercial product.
International data handling
As services may involve clients and technical providers in different countries, personal information may be accessed, stored, or processed outside your country. Where cross-border privacy rules apply, appropriate steps should be taken to protect transferred information in accordance with those requirements.
How long information is kept
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including managing enquiries, delivering agreed services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal or contractual requirements. Actual retention periods vary depending on the type of information and the engagement.
When information is no longer needed, reasonable steps are taken to delete, anonymize, or securely archive it, as appropriate.
Information security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to reduce risks of unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No website, email system, or online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use appropriate discretion when sending personal or confidential material online.
Your privacy rights and choices
Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have the right to request access to personal information, correct inaccurate information, ask for deletion, restrict or object to certain processing, obtain a copy of relevant data, or withdraw consent where processing depends on it.
You may also unsubscribe from optional marketing emails using the unsubscribe method provided or by contacting me. To make a privacy request, use the contact details below. Identity verification may be required before acting on a request.
Children’s privacy
This website and the professional services described here are intended primarily for adults and organizational clients. They are not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children through the website without any consent or authorization required by applicable law.
Third-party links and platforms
Pages may link to external sites or embed content operated by other organizations, including professional networks, video platforms, booking services, or assessment providers. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies and may differ from this one.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in services, website technology, or applicable privacy requirements. When updates are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page will be revised. Material changes may be communicated separately where appropriate or required.

If you have a question about this policy or wish to make a request regarding your personal information, please get in touch and include enough information to help identify the relevant records. Please avoid including confidential assessment or coaching details in your initial email.
