Last Updated: 16/09/2025

Hi there, and welcome to Doha-News.com. We’re a news website dedicated to bringing you the latest updates and reviews on gadgets and technology. Your privacy is seriously important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our site.

Please take a moment to read through this. By using our website, you agree to the practices we describe here.

Table of Contents

1. What Information Do We Collect?

We collect information to make your experience better and to improve our content. We collect it in two ways: directly from you and automatically through technology.

a) Information You Voluntarily Provide:

Comments: When you leave a comment on an article, we collect your name, email address, and the comment itself.
Newsletters: If you sign up for our email newsletter, we collect your email address.
Contact Forms: If you contact us directly, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

b) Information Collected Automatically:

Log Data: Like most websites, when you visit, our servers automatically record information your browser sends. This includes your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, the time spent on those pages, and other general statistics.
Cookies & Similar Tech: We use small data files called “cookies” to make our site work properly and to understand how people use it. For example, they help us remember if you’ve commented before so you don’t have to re-enter your details.

2. How Do We Use Your Information?

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To Operate the Website: To publish your comments, send you newsletters you requested, and respond to your messages.
To Improve Our Content: To analyze trends and see which gadget reviews and news articles are most popular so we can create more of what you love.
To Personalize Your Experience: To understand your preferences and present content in a way that is most useful to you.
For Site Security: To monitor and protect our website from malicious or fraudulent activity.

3. Affiliate Links & Advertising (How We Make Money)

To support our work and keep the content free for everyone, we use affiliate links and display advertisements.

Affiliate Links: Our articles often contain links to online retailers (like Amazon). If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer—at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely believe in.
Third-Party Advertising: We allow third-party companies to serve ads and/or collect certain anonymous information when you visit our website. These companies may use non-personally identifiable information (e.g., browser type, time of visit) to provide advertisements about goods and services likely to be of interest to you.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

We value your trust and do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We only share your data with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate our website, and only to the extent necessary:

Newsletter Service: We use a service like Mailchimp or ConvertKit to manage our email list.
Web Analytics: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand our traffic.
Advertising Networks: As described above, to display relevant ads.

All these partners are bound by contracts to keep your information confidential and use it only for the services we request.

5. Cookies

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.

6. Your Rights

You have rights over your data. You can:

Opt-out of Emails: Every newsletter we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it to be removed instantly.
Access Your Data: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
