GS1 Qatar Privacy Policy

Our Websites, and the services they provide, may require users to register their personal data (for example name, email address, and password) and user consent is requested at the time of registration.

Legal Basis: This type of processing is done on the legal basis of your consent and otherwise, where consent is not legally required, for GS1 Qatar's legitimate interest of ensuring the security of our services and the people that access and use them. Where a user has entered into a contract with GS1 Qatar (for example that relates to a service), then it may be necessary for us to process personal data in order to fulfil our obligations to perform the contract.

Personal data may be processed for the purpose of sending email communications about GS1 Qatar news and events. Personal data is also processed as our services reasonably require, to communicate updates, troubleshoot issues with the service, and to respond to and resolve user queries about the service. Regarding organizational communications, these are processed on the basis of personal data provided by users of the MO Zone website (http://mozone.gs1.org).

Legal Basis: Processing personal data for marketing and organizational communication purposes is done on the legal basis of user consent and otherwise, for GS1 Qatar's legitimate interests of marketing its news and events to interested members and users. Processing personal data to communicate with users about services they use is done pursuant to GS1 Qatar's legitimate interest of providing ongoing services and related service support to its users.

Personal data is processed to operationally provide our services to users and ensure that the services are protected, to the extent possible, from unauthorized access and use. Such processing also includes to: process business transactions; establish and maintain customer accounts; communicate with you about updates, maintenance, outages or other technical matters relating to the services; provide training; notify you about changes to our policies and procedures; verify the accuracy of account and technical contact information; and respond to user inquiries.

Legal Basis: The legal basis for such processing is GS1 Qatar's legitimate interest of providing and maintaining the services, and ensuring security of these systems.

GS1 Qatar integrates content from its social media platforms to its Websites. These social media platforms can, if buttons are included on our Websites, automatically download information technology content. The pages viewed by a user can then automatically send data to these social media platforms. Through this technical process, the social media platform may receive personally identifiable information, such as an IP address and browsing habits, to optimize user-directed advertising.

This information is stored by the social media platforms in the United States of America and may be shared with third parties where appropriate. If the user is logged in to a social media platform with their profile, the social media platform recognizes the user at each activity. Personal data such as the IP address of the person concerned, clicks on pages, access time, access location, the frequency of visits, links of origin, follow-on links and data on the length of stay on the website are sent. The social media platforms may, if buttons are included on our Websites, monitor user activity.

How to control: If you do not want social media platforms to assign the data collected via our Websites directly to your profile in the corresponding social media platform, you must log out of the corresponding service before you visit our Websites. You can prevent the plugins from being loaded, even with add-ons for your browser, using the script blocker "No Script" (http://noscript.net/).

Legal Basis: This type of processing is necessary for the optimal marketing of our services, which is a legitimate interest of GS1 Qatar.

GS1 Qatar must comply with its legal obligations (for example as directed by regulatory authorities or under a Court order) and in such circumstances, it may be necessary for us to process personal data for these reasons.
