Introduction: 
Welcome to the DARK MOON website (the “Website”). DARK MOON (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, which serves as Qatar’s premier platform dedicated to building secure, scalable, sovereign AI ecosystems that innovate across industries and protect national interests. 

We adhere to all applicable data protection laws, including Qatar’s data privacy legislation, to ensure your rights are protected. This document outlines the scope of the data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights concerning your personal information. 

1. Information We Collect 

When you visit our website or interact with us, we collect a variety of information to enhance your experience, improve our services, and ensure security. This includes personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, phone number, job title, and organizational affiliation, especially if you contact us or fill out forms for inquiries, collaborations, or newsletter subscriptions. If you register for events or services, additional details such as billing information or preferences may be collected. 

In addition, we gather technical data automatically through your browsing activity, including your IP address, device type, browser version, operating system, and navigation patterns. This allows us to analyze trends, optimize our platform, and ensure security. 

Furthermore, we deploy cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website to monitor user interactions, remember preferences, and deliver targeted content. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may affect certain functionalities. 

2. How We Use Your Data 

Your personal information is used solely to provide, improve, and personalize our services. We process data to answer your inquiries, facilitate secure communication, and support your engagement with our AI ecosystem initiatives. For instance, we may send you updates about our platform, respond to support requests, or notify you of upcoming events. 

We also analyze website usage to better understand how visitors interact with our content, allowing us to enhance the user experience and ensure our solutions are aligned with industry standards and national interests. When you subscribe to newsletters or marketing emails, your data helps us tailor content that is relevant to your interests. 

In certain cases, we may process your data for legal compliance, fraud prevention, and security purposes, ensuring that our platform remains protected from malicious activities and unauthorized access. 

3. Sharing and Disclosing Data 

We do not sell or rent your personal data. However, we may share your information with trusted third parties that assist us in operating our platform, including cloud service providers, cybersecurity vendors, payment processors, and legal advisors. These third parties are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only for the purposes we specify. 

We may also disclose personal data if required to do so by law, such as in response to legal requests or to enforce our terms of service. In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction, with contractual safeguards ensuring its protection. 

Furthermore, if you specifically consent, we may share your data for collaborative projects or marketing collaborations with other organizations aligned with our strategic goals. 

4. Data Security and Confidentiality 

Protecting your data is a top priority for DARK MOON. We employ advanced security measures, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, intrusion detection systems, and regular security audits, to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. 

Although we implement robust security controls, no system can be completely breach-proof. Therefore, we continuously review and update our security protocols, ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of your data. 

5. Your Rights and Data Control 

Depending on your jurisdiction and the nature of our relationship, you have rights regarding your personal data. These include the right to access the information we hold about you, correct inaccuracies, request deletion, or withdraw consent for specific data processing activities. You also have the right to object to processing where relevant. 

To exercise these rights, please visit the website. We are committed to responding promptly and in accordance with legal obligations. 

If you wish to opt out of marketing communications, you can do so via the unsubscribe links included in our emails or by contacting us.

You have control over your cookie preferences and can configure your browser settings to accept, decline, or delete cookies. However, disabling cookies may limit some features or affect your overall experience on our site. 

7. Data Retention 

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by applicable laws. When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it to prevent unauthorized access. This ensures that your data remains protected and only used for legitimate, ongoing purposes. 

8. International Data Transfers 

As a company committed to safeguarding your data, we may transfer personal information to countries outside Qatar, including regions where data protection laws differ. We ensure such transfers comply with applicable regulations, employing contractual safeguards or other mechanisms to protect your privacy rights when necessary.
