Before you message customers in Qatar

WhatsApp messages travel over Meta's network, not through the mobile operators in Qatar, so SMS sender-ID registration and SMS send windows do not apply. Opt-in, and local consumer-protection and data-protection rules on marketing, still do.

Data protection in Qatar

  • Explicit, unambiguous opt-in for electronic direct marketing (Art. 22).
  • Disclose controller identity + working opt-out/withdrawal address.
  • Individuals may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Enforced by NCGAA/NCSA.
