4. How and why we use personal data (purposes)
We process personal data for purposes that may include:

- Contract performance: processing and fulfilling orders, taking payment, managing returns or warranties as applicable.

- Improving the Site: analytics to understand performance and usability, subject to your choices and applicable consent rules.
- Marketing: only where permitted by law and, where required, with your prior consent (for example promotional emails or SMS).
Where the PDP Law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of: your consent, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests that are not overridden by your rights (for example securing the Site), as applicable to each activity.
5. Sensitive data
We do not intend to collect “special categories” of personal data (such as health data) unless you voluntarily provide them and we have a lawful basis to process them under the PDP Law, including explicit consent where required. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information through contact forms unless we ask for it.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functions (such as security, session management, and shopping cart operation), and where applicable for analytics or preferences. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings and any cookie banner or preference centre we provide on the Site. Essential cookies may remain active because the Site cannot function properly without them.
7. Sharing personal data
We may share personal data with:
- Service providers who assist us (for example hosting, IT support, payment processing, delivery carriers, and email delivery), under written terms that require protection of personal data.
- Professional advisers where necessary (for example auditors or lawyers).
- Authorities when required by applicable law or lawful requests.
We do not sell your personal data as a commodity. Any “sale”-style sharing as defined under other jurisdictions is not our business model; we only disclose data as described in this Policy or as notified to you.
8. International transfers
Your data may be processed on servers or by providers located outside Qatar. Where such transfers occur, we take steps required under the PDP Law, such as ensuring an adequate level of protection or appropriate safeguards (for example contractual clauses), consistent with applicable regulations.
9. Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above, including to meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements in Qatar. Retention periods may depend on the type of data and whether you have an active account or open transactions. When retention is no longer required, we delete or anonymise data in line with our internal policies.
10. Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords and protect your account credentials.

- request access to your personal data;
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
- request deletion or anonymisation where applicable;
- object to certain processing or restrict processing in prescribed cases;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of earlier processing;
