Wady LLC - Global Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 16, 2025 Last Updated: June 16, 2025
1. Introduction
Wady LLC ("Wady", "we", "our", "us"), a company established under the laws of the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), is resolutely committed to protecting the privacy and security of the data entrusted to us. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, share, and protect your Personal Data.
This policy applies to our corporate clients ("Clients") and the authorized individuals aged 18 and over ("Users") who use our B2B digital services ("Services") on their behalf. It covers data collected through our website, platform, and applications (collectively, the "Platform").
Our data processing activities are primarily governed by the QFC Data Protection Regulations 2021. We also adhere to the State of Qatar's Personal Data Protection Law No. 13 of 2016 (PDPPL) and other applicable international regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where our Services are offered to individuals in those regions.
2. Our Role: Data Controller vs. Data Processor
It is crucial to understand our role in relation to your data.
For "User Data" (e.g., account registration information, business contact details), Wady acts as a Data Controller, meaning we determine the purposes and means of processing.
For "Client Data" (information our Clients upload to the Services for their own business purposes), Wady acts as a Data Processor on behalf of the Client.
This policy primarily concerns our activities as a Data Controller. Our obligations as a Data Processor are defined in our Data Processing Addendum with our Clients.
3. What Personal Data We Collect and Why
We adhere to the principle of data minimization, collecting only the Personal Data that is necessary to provide our Services, operate our business, and comply with our legal obligations.
Data Category | Specific Data Types | Primary Purpose of Use (Legal Basis) |
Identity & Account Data | First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone Number, Job Title, User ID, Password (hashed) | To create and manage your user account and provide the Services. (Performance of a Contract) |

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies that are strictly necessary for the functionality and security of our Platform. For non-essential cookies used for analytics and performance, we will only use them with your explicit, prior consent, which can be managed at any time through our cookie consent banner.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your Personal Data. We only share your data with the following categories of recipients under strict confidentiality and data protection obligations:

We have implemented robust technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your Personal Data from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. These include data encryption, access controls, regular security audits, and staff training. However, no system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We retain your Personal Data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements under QFC and Qatari law.
