What type of information we collect 

We may collect two types of data and information from our Users:

The first type of information is de-identified information pertaining to you, which may be made available or gathered via your use of the Services (“Non-Personal Information“). This may include aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, such as the device you use, the type of browser and operating system you’re using, language preference, access time, and the website’s domain name from which you linked to the Services, etc. Non-personal information is used to enhance the functionality of the Services (e.g. to ensure you can view the Site in the correct resolution, etc). We may also collect information about your activity on the Services (e.g., clicks, actions, online browsing, etc.).

The second type of information is personal data/information, which identifies an individual or may, with reasonable effort, identify an individual (“Personal Information“). Such information may include:

• Account Information: When you sign up and register for the Services via our Site, you may be asked to provide us with certain details about yourself, such as your full name and email address, as well as any other information you agreed to share with us in the signup process (e.g., the types of properties you are interested in, locations you are interested in, etc.). 
• Third-Party Sign-in Information: You may be able to register or sign in to the Services via your social network account (e.g., Facebook, Google). If so, we may have access to basic information from your social network account, such as your full name, home address, email address, birth date, profile picture, friends list, and personal description, as well as any other information you made publicly available on your account or agreed to share with us. We will always abide by the social network platform’s terms, conditions, and restrictions.
• Direct Interactions: If you query via our website or email, we will collect basic contact information (such as name, email, and telephone number) and any other information you provide, including any questions, feedback, or context you provide for your request. Please note that we may also collect complaints about you from other Users, including your Personal Information.
• Events, blogs, and newsletters: When you register for an event, respond to a blog post, or sign up to receive a newsletter or any other publication from us, we will collect your contact details and other basic information, such as your name.
• Advertisers: if you choose to advertise on our Site, we will collect your contact details (such as your name, company name, and payment details).

To avoid doubt, if we combine Personal Information with Non-Personal Information or infer Personal Information from Non-Personal Information, the combined or inferred information will be treated as Personal Information as long as it remains combined.

Cookies and other technologies

We may use cookies and other technologies or web and mobile analysis methods to gather, store, and track certain information related to your access to and activity through the Services, including when you visit our website.

A “cookie” is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies are helpful and may be used for various purposes. These purposes include, among other things, allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences, and making the interaction between you and the Services quicker, easier, and smoother.

Our website may use the following types of cookies:

• Session Cookies are stored only temporarily during a browsing session to allow normal use of the system and are deleted from your device when the browser is closed.
• Persistent Cookies are saved on your device for a fixed period and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used where we need to identify who you are for repeated visits (for instance, to allow us to store your preferences for the next sign-in).
• Third-party Cookies are set by other online services that run content on the page you view on your browser (for example, by third-party advertising companies that monitor and analyze our website access).

You may remove the cookies by following the instructions of your device preferences. However, if you choose to disable cookies, some features of the Services may not operate properly, and your online experience may be limited.

With whom we share the information, and for what purpose

We do not rent, sell, or share your Personal Information with third parties. We may be required to disclose your Personal Information with the following recipients: (i) our affiliated companies; (ii) subcontractors and other third-party service providers, such as web hosting platforms; (iii) auditors or advisers of our business processes; and (iv) any potential purchasers or investors in Buyitinisrael.

In addition to the purposes listed in this Privacy Policy, we may share Personal Information with the recipients detailed above for any of the following purposes: (i) storing or processing Personal Information on our behalf; (ii) processing such information to assist us with our business operations; (iii) performing research, technical diagnostics, personalization and analytics; and (iv) communicating promotional and informational materials, in accordance with our marketing policy (see below under “Marketing”).

We may also disclose Personal Information or any information you submitted via the Services if we have a good faith belief that disclosure of such information is helpful or reasonably necessary to: (i) comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; (ii) enforce our policies, including investigations of potential violations thereof; (iii) investigate, detect, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or other wrongdoing, suspected fraud or security issues; (iv) to establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; (v) prevent harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our affiliates, our Users, yourself or any third-party; (vi) to collaborate with law enforcement agencies; and (vii) in case we find it necessary to enforce intellectual property or other legal rights.

Third-party collection of information

Our Privacy Policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent that you disclose your information to other parties via the Services (e.g., by clicking on a link to any other website or location) or via other sites throughout the Internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of the information you disclose. We encourage you to read their policies to be aware of their practices.

You acknowledge that we are not responsible for the products, services, or descriptions of products or services you receive from third-party sites or for those sites’ content or privacy practices. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any such third-party products and services. You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks of using third-party sites to purchase products and services. You agree that we shall have no liability concerning such third-party sites and your usage.

International transfer

Transferring data, including Personal Information, may be necessary to countries outside the European Union. Your data will be stored in and accessed from Israel. Israel has been recognized as “adequate” by the European Union, which means it has been found to afford a similar level of protection as if the personal data remained in the EU. It will also be stored by our service providers in the US (e.g., Google). These countries’ data protection and other laws may not be as comprehensive as those in the European Union. In these instances, we will ensure that a similar level of protection is given to Personal Information, including through adequate contractual measures. You hereby consent to transferring Personal Information to countries outside your country of origin.

For how long do we retain the information?

We retain the information we collect from you for as long as needed to provide our Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements (unless instructed otherwise). For example, we will retain it as long as you are a User, and unless otherwise required by law, your personal information will be stored for seven years after you are no longer a User. We may rectify, replenish, or remove information at any time and at our discretion.

Your privacy rights

Certain jurisdictions provide Users with certain statutory rights to their Personal Information. Subject to exemptions provided by law, and with proper identification, you may have the right to certain actions to your Personal Information such as:

• Right to verify your Personal Information (to access, delete, change, or update any Personal Information relating to you. For example, if you believe that your Personal Information is incorrect, you may ask to have it corrected or deleted);
• Right to see what Personal Information about you we have;
• Right to request that we erase Personal Information about you (subject to any other legal obligation that may require us to keep that information);
• Right to restrict us from processing Personal Information pertaining to you (for example, you may request that we stop using or sharing your Personal Information with third parties); and
• Right to export Personal Information in a portable format.

If you wish to exercise these rights, email us at [email protected]. When handling your request, we will ask for additional information to confirm your identity (which may include Personal Information). However, please note that if you choose not to allow us to process your Personal Information, we may be prevented from providing our Services.

If you wish to complain about how we have handled your Personal Information, please email us at [email protected].

If you are dissatisfied with our response or believe we are collecting or processing your Personal Information in violation of the laws, you can complain to the applicable data protection authority. To find your local authority, visit the global privacy directory.

How we protect your information

We take great care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Services and safeguarding information related to you. We employ industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the safety of your information and prevent unauthorized use of any such information. Some security measures we take to protect your information include:

a.  Implementing access controls to our information technology; and

b.  Using appropriate procedures and technical security measures to safeguard your information across all our computer systems and website.

Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard such information, we cannot be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorized access or abuse our Services, and we make no warranty, express, implied, or otherwise, that we will prevent such access.

If you believe that your privacy was not treated in accordance with our Privacy Policy, or if any person attempted to abuse our Services or acted inappropriately, it will be advisable to contact us directly at [email protected].

Advertisements

We use a tool called Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Services. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users access the Services, what pages they visit when they do so, etc. We only use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve our Services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit sites rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your use of the Services is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Marketing

We may use your Personal Information, such as your full name, email address, etc., or through our third-party subcontractors to provide you with promotional materials concerning the Services.

Out of respect to your right to privacy, we provide you with such marketing materials with the means to decline to receive further marketing offers from us. In addition, at any time, you may request to unsubscribe and discontinue receiving marketing offers by sending us a blank message with the word “remove” to [email protected].

Please note that even if you unsubscribe from our marketing mailing list, we may continue to send you service-related updates and notifications.

Updates or amendments to the Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy occasionally, at our sole discretion, and the most current version will always be posted on our website (as reflected in the “Last Revised” heading). We will notify you through the Services or email if a material change to the Privacy Policy occurs. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes.

Your continued use of the Services following the notification of such amendments constitutes your acknowledgment and consent to such amendments to the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by their terms.

Minors

The Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. If you are under 13, you should not use the Services or provide any personal information to us.

We reserve the right to access and verify any personal information collected from you by us. If we become aware that an individual under the age of 13 has shared any information, we will discard such information. If you have any reason to believe that a minor has shared information with us, please email us at [email protected].
