At Teen Art Awards Qatar, we respect your privacy and protect your personal information in line with Qatar’s Personal Data Privacy Protection Law (PDPPL, Law No. 13 of 2016). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

• Showcase artworks (with credit) in exhibitions, catalogues, or online galleries
• Share aggregated stats (e.g., number of participants) without identifying individuals
• Coordinate with schools and partners for programme purposes (only with your consent)
3. How we protect your information
