Privacy Policy

Who we are

Source Code Tech Solutions W.L.L (“Source Code”, “we”, “us”) is a technology company registered in the State of Qatar under Commercial Registration No. 200338, formerly trading as Genesis Advertising. We build AI agents, enterprise AI platforms, mobile apps and custom software.

We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. That means we decide why and how it is used, and we are the ones you hold responsible for it.

What this policy covers

This policy explains what happens to personal data collected through sourcecode.qa — including the Arabic version of the site at sourcecode.qa/ar/ — when you browse it, submit an enquiry, book a demo, request a trial, request a free AI audit, or download our company profile.

It does not cover:

• Data we process on behalf of a client under a signed services agreement. In that situation the client is the controller and their own privacy notice applies; we act as processor under the terms of that contract.
• Software we have built for a client and which the client operates. Those products have their own privacy notices.
• Third-party websites you reach by following a link from ours.

The information we collect

Information you give us

Every form on this site is optional. You choose whether to fill one in, and what to put in it. Depending on the form, we ask for some or all of the following:

Please do not send us confidential, commercially sensitive or personal information about other people through a web form. If you need to share something sensitive, contact us first and we will agree a secure route and, where appropriate, a non-disclosure agreement.

Information collected automatically

When you submit a form, our server also records the following alongside your message, so that we can operate the site securely and defend it against abuse:

• Your IP address
• Your browser and device type (the user-agent string your browser sends)
• The page you submitted from and the page that referred you to it
• The date and time of the submission, and whether you used the English or Arabic site

Our hosting provider additionally keeps standard server logs. We do not use these to build a profile of you.

Why we use your information

We use what you send us for these purposes and no others:

• To answer you. Replying to your enquiry, preparing a demo, running the free audit you asked for, or setting up a trial.
• To prepare a proposal. Understanding your requirement well enough to scope and price the work.
• To keep a record. Retaining the enquiry so a colleague can pick it up, and so we know what was discussed if you come back to us later.
• To protect the site. Detecting and blocking automated spam submissions, and rate-limiting abusive traffic.
• To meet our legal obligations under Qatari commercial, tax and accounting law where an enquiry becomes a contract.

We rely on your consent, given by choosing to submit the form, together with our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries and keeping our systems secure. You can withdraw consent at any time — see Your rights.

We do not make any decision about you by automated means alone.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not set any cookies on your device. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.

The guided forms use session storage, a first-party browser feature, to hold your answers as you move between steps so that a reload or the Back button does not lose your progress. It is stored only in your own browser, it is never sent to us as a separate record, and it is discarded automatically when you close the tab.

The one third party your browser contacts

Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com). To deliver a font, Google receives your IP address and basic request information. Google states that Google Fonts does not set cookies and does not use the data for advertising or profiling; their handling is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.

Apart from that font request, no data leaves your browser for a third party unless you deliberately click an external link.

Who we share information with

Your enquiry is seen by the Source Code team in Doha who need it to respond — typically the relevant sales, technical or delivery lead. Beyond that, we share personal data only with:

• Our hosting and email providers, who transmit and store the data on our instruction as part of running the website and our business email. They may not use it for their own purposes.
• Professional advisers — such as our auditors or lawyers — where they need it and are bound by confidentiality.
• A public authority, where we are required to disclose by Qatari law, a court order, or a lawful request from a competent authority.
• A purchaser, if our business or part of it is ever sold or reorganised. You would be told before your data became subject to a different privacy policy.

Every supplier we use is bound by contract to protect the data, use it only for the service they provide to us, and return or delete it when the arrangement ends.

Where your information is stored

Enquiries submitted through this site are stored in a database on the web server that hosts sourcecode.qa, and a copy of each enquiry is sent to our company mailbox.

Where a provider we use stores or processes data outside the State of Qatar, we take steps to satisfy ourselves that the transfer meets the requirements of Qatari data protection law and that the data receives a comparable level of protection. If you would like to know the current location of your data, ask us and we will tell you.

How long we keep it

You can ask us to delete your enquiry sooner. We will, unless we are required to keep it for a legal or accounting reason, in which case we will tell you which reason applies.

How we protect it

Security is our trade, and we apply the same standards to our own systems that we build for clients:

• The site is served over HTTPS, so what you type into a form is encrypted in transit.
• The enquiry database sits outside the public web root and is not reachable from a browser.
• The internal enquiry panel requires a password, is protected against cross-site request forgery, and times out when idle. It is excluded from search engines.
• Access is limited to staff who need it to do their job.
• Submissions are rate-limited and screened for automated spam.

No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise. If a breach ever occurs that is likely to cause you serious harm, we will notify you and the competent authority as required by Qatari law.

Your rights

Under Law No. (13) of 2016 concerning Personal Data Privacy Protection and its implementing decisions, you have the right to:

• Be told how your personal data is being processed — which is the purpose of this policy.
• Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Have it corrected if it is wrong, or completed if it is incomplete.
• Have it erased where we no longer have a lawful reason to keep it.
• Object to processing, including asking us to stop using your data for direct marketing — a request we will always honour.
• Withdraw consent you previously gave, without affecting anything done before you withdrew it.

To exercise any of these, email [email protected] with the words Data request in the subject line. We may ask you to confirm your identity before we act, so that we do not disclose your data to someone else. We will respond within 30 days. There is no charge.

Marketing

Submitting an enquiry asks us to reply to that enquiry. It does not sign you up to anything.

We will only send you marketing — newsletters, event invitations, product announcements — if you have separately agreed to receive it. Every such message carries a one-click unsubscribe, and we act on it immediately. Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop us replying to an active enquiry or corresponding with you about live project work.

Children's privacy

This website is aimed at businesses, government entities and founders. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has sent us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Other websites

Our site links out to third parties — client sites, partner organisations, event pages, our own social media profiles and WhatsApp. Following such a link takes you somewhere we do not control. This policy stops at the edge of our site; once you arrive, the privacy policy of that site applies. We suggest you read it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services, our systems or the law change. The date at the top of the page always tells you when the current version took effect. If a change materially affects how we handle data you have already given us, we will make reasonable efforts to tell you directly rather than relying on you to re-read this page.

Contact and complaints

For any question about this policy, or to exercise a right described above, contact us:

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the competent authority responsible for personal data protection in the State of Qatar under Law No. (13) of 2016. We would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
