A little piece of AUC, wherever you are in Canada.

AUCians brings together graduates, students and friends of The American University in Cairo who now call Canada home.

What this is

For years we organized our gatherings through WhatsApp threads and spreadsheets. This site puts it in one place: see what's coming up, register your family, and settle up with the organizers.

Every event is run by volunteers. What you pay covers what they spend on food, the venue and decorations. Nobody makes a profit, and no payment company sits in the middle: you send an Interac e-Transfer straight to the organizer.

To keep the community safe, an admin confirms each new member before they can register for events.

Who runs this site

AUCians is hosted on a private server owned by aiopolis.ca, the consulting company of Mohamed Elsawy, a fellow AUCian. He provides it free of charge as a service to the AUC community in Canada.

Your information is here only so we can run events. It is never sold, never shared with sponsors or other companies, and never used for advertising or marketing lists. We don't run analytics or ad trackers.

We keep as little as we can. Your name, email and mobile number are all we need. Everything else is optional.
Private details are encrypted. Phone numbers and dates of birth are stored encrypted, and are never shown to other members.
No card numbers, ever. Payments happen in your own bank's app. This site never sees your banking details.
Sign-in is protected. A code by email on new devices, checks that stop bots from filling in forms, and lockouts after repeated wrong passwords.
Your data is yours. Download everything we hold about you, or delete your account, at any time from your profile.

The full details are in the privacy policy.
