Privacy Policy

Spotlight-Qa is a community platform celebrating stories from across Qatar. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

By creating an account or using Spotlight-Qa, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

When you register, we collect information needed to create and secure your account, such as your email address and authentication details managed through our secure sign-in provider.

We use this information to verify your identity, protect your account, and provide access to platform features.

You may choose to add profile details such as your name, country, account type, and avatar image.

Public profiles show only information you choose to make visible, such as your display name, avatar, country, account type, and published posts.

When you create posts, we store the content you submit, including titles, summaries, body text, cover images, and uploaded media files.

Published posts may be visible to visitors according to our publishing and moderation rules. Draft or pending posts are not shown publicly until approved where applicable.

If you comment on a post or like content, we store your activity so it can be displayed on the platform.

Comments on published posts may be visible to other users alongside your public display name and avatar.

We may send service-related emails, such as account verification, password reset messages, and administrative notifications connected to platform activity.

These emails are sent only for legitimate platform purposes and not for unrelated marketing without your consent.

We use collected information to operate Spotlight-Qa, publish community content, moderate submissions, improve platform performance, and keep the service secure.

We do not sell your personal information. Data is used to provide the features you request and to maintain a safe, trustworthy community environment.

Your email address and phone number are not displayed on public profiles, post pages, comments, or other public areas of the platform.

Only authorised administrators may access certain account details when necessary for support, security, or moderation.

Spotlight-Qa allows users to follow other profiles, send and receive friend requests, and view follower, following, and friend counts on public profiles.

Users may also block or report other profiles. Block and report actions are private and not visible to other users.

These features do not include private messaging or sharing of private contact details such as email addresses or phone numbers.

You may update profile information from your account settings where available. You may also request correction or deletion of certain information, subject to legal and operational requirements.

If you have questions about this policy or wish to exercise your privacy rights, please contact Spotlight-Qa through the Contact section on our website or via your account support options.
