Privacy Policy

What this website collects, who processes it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have under Oman's Personal Data Protection Law.

In short

How does Quantum Gulf Marketing handle personal data on this website?

Quantum Gulf Marketing collects personal data through this website only when you submit a form, and collects standard analytics about how the site is used. The data controller is Quantum Gulf Marketing, registered in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, contactable at abdulaziz@qgulfmarketing.com. Form submissions are used to answer your enquiry or to consider you for mystery shopping assignments, and nothing more. Analytics data is used to understand which pages are useful. We do not sell personal data, and we do not run advertising or retargeting on this site.

This policy covers visitors to qgulfmarketing.com. It does not cover data collected during research fieldwork, which is a separate matter governed by the agreement with the client commissioning the study and by the consent a respondent gives at the point of interview. If you took part in a study and want to know how that data is handled, contact us and we will tell you which study it was and what applies to it.

Questions

Common questions

What personal data does this website collect?

Only what you type into a form, plus standard website analytics. The enquiry form asks for your name, company, email, optionally a phone number, and what you are trying to decide. The mystery shopper panel form asks for contact details, governorate, languages, availability and transport. Nothing else is collected from visitors.

Do you use cookies?

Yes, analytics cookies set by Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager, which record pages viewed and interactions such as clicking a WhatsApp or phone link. We do not run advertising or retargeting cookies on this site.

Who else sees my data?

Our website host, our email provider, and Google Analytics. If your enquiry concerns work in the UAE or across the GCC, we may share it with our partner agencies SMRC or Conread in Dubai so they can help answer it. We do not sell data to anyone.

How long do you keep it?

Enquiries are kept for as long as we have an active or prospective commercial relationship, and reviewed periodically after that. Panel registrations are kept while you remain on the panel and removed on request.

What rights do I have?

Under Oman's Personal Data Protection Law you can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, withdraw consent, and object to certain processing. Email abdulaziz@qgulfmarketing.com and we will respond.

Is research respondent data covered by this policy?

No. This policy covers visitors to this website. Data collected during research fieldwork is governed separately by the agreement with the client commissioning the study and by the consent given at the point of interview.

This policy describes our actual practice and is provided in good faith. It is not legal advice. If you need a policy warranted for a specific regulatory filing, have it reviewed by a qualified adviser in Oman.
