Introduction

1- The Deal privacy policy describes the ways in which we collect, store, use and protect your personal information, and it is important for you to review this privacy policy.

By “Personal Information”, we mean information that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify that person.

3- We may amend our privacy policy at any time by posting a revised version on the site. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it, and following such posting, your continued use of The Deal or its related website and services will constitute your express consent to us continuing to process your personal information in accordance with the terms of our revised privacy policy.

4- We last amended The Deal privacy policy on 24 May 2026 and we would encourage you to check the site regularly for the announcement of any amendments to our privacy policy.

Our collection of your personal information:-

1) As part of your registration on The Deal, you will be asked to provide us with certain personal information, such as your name, address, email address and telephone number and other similar information as well as some additional information about you such as your date of birth, company name, commercial registration number, professional background, or other identifying information. Additionally, in order for us to verify you are a human and not an impersonator, we may need to verify your phone number and email address.

2) Following your registration on the site, you should not share any personal information (including any financial information) anywhere on the site other than on the My Account section. Restricting the sharing of personal information to the My Account section protects you from the possibility of fraud or identity theft. The posting by you of any personal information anywhere on the site other than on the My Account section may lead to the suspension of your account.

3) We will collect activity information based on your use of The Deal (such as posting business opportunities, publishing project listings, applying for jobs, or engaging with other users). This activity information is used solely in relation to the services you use on The Deal and for no other reasons.

4) Please note that we may use your Internet protocol (or IP) address (which is a unique number assigned to your computer server or your Internet service provider (ISP)) to analyse user trends and improve the administration of The Deal.

5) We may also collect information about your computer (for example, device type, browser type) and navigation information (for example, the pages you visit on The Deal) along with the times that you access The Deal. The Deal is allowed to use your device’s camera and gallery when you choose images for a new listing, project, or business profile, or when you edit photos for a previous listing.

Finally, we may collect additional information from or about you in other ways not specifically described here. For example, we may collect information related to your contact with our customer support team or store results when you respond to a survey. We may also collect feedback ratings and other comments relating to your use of The Deal. Where we aggregate personal information for statistical purposes, such aggregated personal information shall be anonymized.

Our use of your personal information.

1) We only use your personal information to provide services and customer support to you; to measure and improve our services to you; to prevent illegal activities and implement our user agreement with you (“User Agreement”); troubleshoot problems; collect fees; provide you with promotional messages and verify information you give us with third parties. For example, we may share some of the personal information you give us with verification services with third parties for fraud screening purposes.

2) Though we make every effort to preserve your privacy, we may need to disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies, government agencies or other third parties where we are compelled so to do by court order or similar legal procedure; where we are required to disclose your personal information to comply with law; where we are cooperating with an ongoing law enforcement investigation or where we have a good faith belief that our disclosure of your personal information is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal activity or to investigate a possible violation of our User Agreement.

3) In the event of a sale of The Deal, any of its affiliates and subsidiaries or any related business assets, your personal information may be disclosed to any potential purchaser for the purposes of the continued provision or otherwise in relation to any such sale. We may share your personal information with our other group companies so as to provide joint content and services to you, to help detect illegal acts and/or the violations of our policies. We may also share your personal information with other site members as part of a business connection or transaction on the site. For example, when an entrepreneur is matched with an interested party or when a job application is accepted, we may provide both parties with each other’s contact information. This contact information will be the personal information provided by you to us on registration and, as a result, should always be kept up-to-date.

4) Additionally, information relating to business opportunities, projects, or career listings you have posted will be displayed on the site. This information can include details of your user ID, your phone number, your address, your company information, feedback ratings and associated comments relating to your use of the site.

5) We do not sell or rent any of your personal information to third parties in the normal course of doing business and will only share your personal information with third parties in accordance with this privacy policy.

6) By registering on the site, you give us your express consent to receive promotional emails and messages about our services and emails announcing changes to, and new features on The Deal.

7) Additionally, we do use comments made by you about The Deal for marketing purposes and by making such comments you expressly consent to our using such comments for marketing purposes.

Your use of your and other users’ personal information:-

1) Members may need to share personal information with each other to complete business connections, project engagements, or career-related transactions on The Deal. You should respect, at all times, the privacy of other members.

2) We cannot guarantee the privacy of your personal information when you share personal information with other members, so you should always seek information on the privacy and security policies of any other members with whom you are transacting prior to sharing any of your personal information with another member.

3) This privacy policy does not cover your release of your personal information to another member.

4) You agree to use any personal information received from another site member in relation to a business opportunity, project, or career transaction on the site solely in relation to such transaction and shall not use the information received from another site member for any other purposes (except with the express consent of the other site member).

5) You acknowledge and agree that you shall use personal information received from another site member in accordance with all applicable laws of the State of Qatar.
