Log in with your social media account: we may offer you the chance to sign in to a MunidalQatar.com user account with your social media account, which saves you from having to remember different user names and passwords for different accounts. After you have signed in once, you will always be able to use your social media account to sign in to your MunidalQatar.com account. You may be able to separate these accounts from each other at any time you want. 

Integration of social media plugins: we may also integrate social media plugins into MunidalQatar.com website and apps. This means that when you click on one of the buttons (such as Facebook’s ‘Like’ button) certain information is shared with these social media providers. If you are logged in to your social media account at the same time, your social media provider may link this information with your social media account and possibly present your activities on your social media profile to be shared with others in your network.​

Other social media services and features: We may also integrate other social media services (like social media messaging) to interact with MunidalQatar.com or with your friends about our offered services. We may also keep social media accounts and offer apps on several social media websites. Each time you connect with MunidalQatar.com through social media, your social media service provider may permit you to share information with MunidalQatar.com. If you agree to share, you will normally be informed by your social media provider which information will be shared. For instance, when you log into a MunidalQatar.com user account with your social media account, certain information (as approved by you to your social media provider) may be shared with MunidalQatar.com. This may include your email address, age or profile pictures saved in your user account.

When you register with a MunidalQatar.com social media app or connect to a social media messaging service without having a MunidalQatar.com user account, the information you choose to share with us might include the basic information available in your social media profile (including your email address, status updates and a list of your friends). We will utilize this data to help provide you with the service you requested – for instance, to forward a message you want to send to your contacts or to create a personalized user experience in the app itself or on our websites. It means we can fit our services to meet your needs, connecting you and your friends with the best travel destinations and analyzing and improving our travel-related services. Your social media provider will be able to tell you more about how they use and process your data each time you connect with MunidalQatar.com through them. ​
