5. Regulatory and Identity Verification Information

Barzah is developing technology and services relating to digital investment, real-world asset tokenisation and crowdfunding.

Certain future services may, following applicable regulatory approvals, require identity verification and compliance checks.

Where required, personal information may therefore be processed by Barzah and authorised third-party service providers for purposes including:

• Identity verification.
• KYC and AML screening.
• Sanctions and politically exposed person screening.
• Fraud prevention.
• Regulatory reporting.
• Transaction monitoring.

The specific information required, the purposes for which it is processed and the relevant parties will be disclosed as appropriate when those services become available.

6. Sharing of Personal Data

We do not sell personal data.

We may share personal information where reasonably necessary with:

• Technology, infrastructure and cloud-service providers.
• Website hosting and analytics providers.
• Identity-verification and compliance service providers.
• Professional advisers, auditors and legal advisers.
• Banks, payment providers or financial institutions, where applicable.
• Regulatory authorities, courts, governmental authorities or law-enforcement agencies where required by applicable law.
• Other authorised service providers involved in operating Barzah’s website, technology or future services.

Where third parties process personal data on our behalf, appropriate contractual, confidentiality, security and data-protection requirements will apply.

7. International Data Transfers

Certain authorised service providers may operate or process information outside the QFC or the State of Qatar.

Where personal data is transferred outside the QFC, Barzah will take appropriate measures to ensure that such transfers comply with applicable QFC data-protection requirements, including applicable adequacy requirements, appropriate contractual safeguards or other legally permitted transfer mechanisms.

8. Data Security

Barzah implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.

These measures may include access controls, encryption, authentication, monitoring, secure infrastructure and organisational security controls.

However, no internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying applicable legal, regulatory, accounting, compliance or reporting requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and applicable obligations.

11. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve user experience and measure website performance.

Where required under applicable law, non-essential cookies will be used subject to appropriate consent.

Users may manage cookies through their browser settings or through any cookie-management tools provided on the website.

12. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties.

Barzah is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites. Users should review the applicable privacy policies of those websites separately.

13. Children

Barzah’s website and proposed investment services are not intended for children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from persons who are not legally eligible to use the relevant services.

Eligibility requirements for future investment-related services will be specified when those services become available.

14. Regulatory Status

Barzah is currently developing its platform and progressing through applicable regulatory approval and licensing processes for its proposed investment and digital-asset-related services.

Registration or licensing of Barzah Capital LLC as a QFC entity should not be interpreted as regulatory authorisation to provide any investment, crowdfunding, tokenisation or other regulated financial service unless the relevant authorisation has separately been granted.

No investment services are currently offered through this website unless and until the relevant regulatory approvals and licences have been obtained.

Information submitted through this website, including expressions of interest, does not constitute the opening of an investment account, subscription for an investment or commitment to invest.

15. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operations, technology, services or applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

The latest version will be published on this website with its effective or last-updated date.
