Governing the Pulse of Data.
At Qatar Data Observatory, we recognize that your personal data is the foundation of digital trust. Our commitment to high-standard **BI** and **intelligence** frameworks ensures that every byte shared is handled with regional sensitivity and global rigor.
Our Data Custodianship
We manage information through a lens of transparency. Below is the breakdown of how we collect, process, and protect your digital footprint within our **analytics** ecosystem.
Collection Nuance
We collect direct identifiers (name, email) and technical metadata (IP address, browser type) to optimize our **BI** portal performance. Every touchpoint is recorded to enhance user experience, not for undisclosed monetization.
Source: Direct & AutomatedIntelligence Utility
Data isn't just stored; it’s utilized for high-level **intelligence** gathering. We use anonymized patterns to understand regional market trends in Qatar, ensuring the observatory remains a hub for relevant economic insights.
Purpose: Trend AnalysisFortified Retention
Personal datasets are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the services requested. Once the utility window closes, our protocols initiate secure deletion or irreversible anonymization.
Duration: Specified PeriodPrivacy Under the Qatar Data Law
Operating from West Bay 34, Doha, we adhere to the Personal Data Privacy Protection Law (PDPPL). This ensures that every citizen and resident's information is treated as a priority.
Encrypted Pipelines
All incoming data streams in our **analytics** engine are encrypted via TLS 1.3, ensuring that even during transit, your information remains invisible to malicious actors.
Minimalist Exposure
We operate on the principle of 'least privilege'. Only essential Qatar Data Observatory personnel can access specific subsets of information required for their duties.
Choice and Governance
In the evolving landscape of **intelligence** services, we believe users should have granular control over their contribution to broader data pools. While our platform relies on certain data points to deliver precise market insights, we never force binary "all or nothing" consent. You have the power to limit tracking, request a download of your data profile, or withdraw consent at any moment.
Third-Party Synergy
We occasionally collaborate with trusted **analytics** partners. These third parties are carefully vetted for their own privacy compliance. We strictly prohibit them from using your identifiable data for external marketing or selling it to data brokers. Every partnership is governed by a legally binding Data Processing Agreement.
Direct Access To Our Privacy Officer
If you have questions regarding our data architecture or wish to exercise your legal rights under the PDPPL, our dedicated team in Doha is ready to assist. Transparency isn't just a policy; it's our day-to-day operation.
