Privacy Policy

halabyte.com is operated by Halabyte Technologies ("Halabyte", "we", "us"), a digital agency based in Doha, Qatar. We are responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

You can reach us at: Halabyte Technologies, Al Muntazah, Doha, Qatar · info@halabyte.com · +974 5553 9039.

We only collect what you choose to send us and the minimum technical information needed to run the website:

• Contact form: your name, email address, subject and message.
• Start a Project chat: your name, email address, the service you need, your budget range, how you'd like us to contact you, your phone number (only if you choose WhatsApp or a phone call), and the project details you type or select.
• Technical information: your IP address and the page language, saved with each message to prevent spam and abuse, and standard server logs (IP address, date and time, page requested and browser type).
• Your light/dark theme choice, which is stored only in your own browser (local storage) and never sent to us.

We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking tools, and the website does not set cookies.

• To reply to your message and discuss your project, by the method you chose (email, WhatsApp or phone).
• To prepare quotes, proposals and follow-ups related to your request.
• To protect the website and our inbox from spam, fake submissions and abuse.
• To meet legal, accounting or record-keeping obligations where they apply.

We will not sell your personal information or use it for unrelated marketing without your consent.

We share information only with the providers that help us run the website and reply to you:

• Cloudflare Turnstile checks that form submissions come from a real person. Cloudflare may process technical data such as your IP address and browser characteristics for this purpose.
• Microsoft 365 hosts our company email, where your messages are delivered.
• WhatsApp (Meta) is used only if you choose to chat with us there; those conversations are subject to WhatsApp's own terms and privacy policy.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, our clients or the public.

We keep enquiries and project requests for as long as needed to respond, to manage any resulting work, and to keep reasonable business records. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security. When information is no longer needed, we delete it.

Submissions are sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and stored on our servers with restricted access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

In line with Qatar's Law No. 13 of 2016 on the Protection of Personal Data Privacy, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy;
• correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete;
• delete your information, or stop using it, where we no longer need it or you withdraw your consent.

To make a request, email info@halabyte.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we act on it.

Our website and services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed. Continuing to use the website after an update means you accept the revised policy.
