Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 3, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Souqna handles personal information when you visit our website, create an account, use the dashboard, publish a storefront, contact support, or interact with our services.
We design Souqna for bilingual businesses in Qatar and treat privacy as a core part of the product, not an afterthought.
1. Information we collect
We collect information needed to operate, secure, improve, and support Souqna. This may include:
- Account details such as name, email address, authentication identifiers, and business information.
- Storefront content such as products, pages, policies, images, settings, domains, and app configurations.
- Billing and plan information, including subscription status and payment provider references.
- Usage, device, log, analytics, and diagnostic data that helps us keep the service secure and reliable.
- Messages you send to Souqna through support, onboarding, forms, or email.
2. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Provide, host, personalise, and maintain the Souqna platform.
- Create accounts, authenticate users, manage plans, and process billing-related activity.
- Operate storefronts, apps, domains, analytics, notifications, and support workflows.
- Protect Souqna, merchants, and buyers from fraud, abuse, security incidents, and policy violations.
- Improve product quality, performance, onboarding, and customer support.
- Comply with legal, tax, accounting, security, and regulatory obligations.
3. Sharing information
We share information only when needed to operate Souqna, comply with law, protect the service, or support your use of connected providers.
This may include infrastructure providers, authentication providers, payment processors, email services, analytics tools, error monitoring, support systems, and apps you choose to connect.
4. Merchant and buyer data
Merchants are responsible for the personal information they collect from their own buyers through a Souqna storefront, including order, shipping, payment, and customer service information.
Souqna processes that information to provide the storefront and related services, but merchants must publish and honour their own customer-facing policies where required.
5. Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, preferences, analytics, product improvement, and performance measurement.
Some third-party services connected to Souqna may set their own cookies or collect analytics under their own policies.
6. Security and retention
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No online service can guarantee complete security.
We keep information for as long as needed to provide Souqna, meet legal or accounting requirements, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain backups and security records.
7. Your choices
You may request access, correction, export, or deletion of certain personal information by contacting us. Some requests may be limited by legal, security, fraud-prevention, or operational requirements.
You can also manage many account, storefront, and communication settings directly inside Souqna.
8. Policy updates
We may update this Privacy Policy as Souqna evolves. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate channel, such as the site, dashboard, or email.
