TYPES OF INFORMATION Mall of Qatar COLLECTS We collect two basic types of information – Personal Information and Anonymous Information. We may use personal and anonymous information to create a third type of information – Aggregate Information. Personal Information. There are several places where Mall of Qatar gives you an opportunity to provide Mall of Qatar your Personal Information. Mall of Qatar may ask you to provide Personal Information when you engage in certain activities on a Site or an App, such as: utilizing the Mall of Qatar WiFi services; signing up for the Mall of Qatar newsletter; participating in social media activities involving third-party providers such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, whether at this Site or the social media websites; filling out a survey; sending feedback; downloading, installing or using an App; registering for sweepstakes or contests; or using a cell phone send text messages to or call Mall of Qatar. If you choose to share any Personal Information with Mall of Qatar, you will see that the amount and type of Personal Information Mall of Qatar requests depends on how you use the corresponding Site. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. Depending upon the activity, the information Mall of Qatar asks you to provide will be identified as mandatory or voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity. While you can generally browse a Site without informing Mall of Qatar about who you are or revealing Personal Information about yourself, Mall of Qatar is still able to determine your IP address, which will reveal your location to Mall of Qatar. Mall of Qatar may use your IP address, together with other Personal Information that you may provide to us, such as your email address, to communicate with you directly about products and services that Mall of Qatar believes may be of interest based on your activity on a Site.

Anonymous Information. In general, you can browse a Site without telling Mall of Qatar who you are or revealing any Personal Information about yourself. Mall of Qatar, however, collects your computer’s and/or mobile device’s IP address, which you necessarily disclose when you visit a Site or download or use an App so that data (such as the web pages you request) can be sent to your computer or mobile device. The Sites and/or Apps may utilize Cookies. Mall of Qatar may use Cookie data to recognize you when you visit a Site or use an App in the future, to troubleshoot how a Site or an App operates, and for internal analysis of how people use a Site or an App. Should you decide not to accept Cookies from a Site or an App, you will limit the functionality Mall of Qatar can provide you.

Aggregate Information. We may occasionally use Google Analytics and/or other third-party data analytics tools to (i) monitor traffic on our Sites or Apps, (ii) use of Mall of Qatar’s WiFi service, and (iii) use of Mall of Qatar App and other software applications. Such tools help us to provide the kind of ‎user-friendly, up-to-date information that online users expect to find. Personal Information is not monitored or collected through this process.

Participation in Activities. When you engage in certain activities on a Site or an App, such as by registering or logging in as a user of an App or sending Mall of Qatar a message using a Site, Mall of Qatar may ask you to provide Personal Information and other information. In order to engage in such activities, you will be required to provide information that allows Mall of Qatar to know the specifics of who you are or where you are, and may include, without limitation, your name, email address, and whether you are a guest at the Location. If you choose to share any Personal Information with Mall of Qatar, you will see that the amount and type of Personal Information Mall of Qatar requests depends on how you use a Site or an App. It is optional for you to engage in these activities. Depending upon the activity, some of the information Mall of Qatar asks you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.

Examples of the type of information Mall of Qatar and Provider may collect and store include are: first and last name; age and birthday; gender; mailing and email addresses, including postal code; and telephone number(s); device profile created and modified dates, shared device ‎preferences, lists of social networks associated with a user, Facebook ID, Google Plus ID, ‎Twitter Profile URL, LinkedIn Plus ID, Cookies, native device and applications unique ‎identifiers (UIDs), custom identifiers, an application identifiers.‎
