Cookie Management & Consent
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, improve performance, and support marketing activities.
When you first visit our site, you will see a banner allowing you to accept or decline all non-essential cookies.
Essential cookies are always active, as they are required for the secure and proper operation of the website.
All other cookies (including analytics and marketing tools) are activated only after you provide your consent by clicking "Accept."
If you click "Decline," only essential cookies will remain active, and no analytics or tracking pixels will be loaded.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell personal data.
We may share data with trusted third parties as described below, always under appropriate safeguards and only for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Service Providers
We share limited personal data with service providers that support our operations, including hosting/CDN, email marketing platforms, CRM systems, analytics providers, and recruitment ATS systems (such as Spark Hire Recruit).
These providers process personal data on our behalf under Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) and in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
We limit sharing to what is necessary for the specified purpose and require all processors to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.
Link Management and Retargeting Tools
We use link management and retargeting tools (for example, branded short links via Rebrandly) that may trigger marketing pixels from third-party platforms such as Google, Meta, and LinkedIn.
These pixels are used solely to measure campaign performance and audience analytics.
No personal data is stored or processed by the link management provider itself.
The data collected through such pixels is handled in accordance with the respective platforms' own privacy policies.
Business Partners and Legal Disclosures
We may share data with business partners (for example, as part of client collaborations or joint events) and disclose information to authorities where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Corporate Transactions
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our assets, personal data may be transferred to the acquiring entity, provided that such entity maintains the same level of data protection described in this policy.
Links and Third-Party Services
This Privacy Policy does not apply to external websites or embedded third-party services linked from our site.
We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to review each third party's privacy policy before interacting with their content.
Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by our legal obligations and your consent. Our retention policy is as follows:
- Data from Marketing and CRM Systems: Data you provide through forms is retained in our systems on an ongoing basis to maintain a record of our interactions and your potential interest in our services. This data is kept until you choose to unsubscribe or exercise your right to erasure.
- Opt-Out and Suppression: If you choose to unsubscribe or opt-out, your data is not deleted but is moved to a secure suppression list. This is a measure taken under our legitimate interest to ensure we honor your request and do not contact you again.
- Legal and Financial Records: Data required for compliance with legal obligations (e.g., invoices) is retained for 7 years, as required by Israeli law.
- Analytics Data: Anonymized or aggregated data may be kept for longer periods for statistical purposes.
Your Rights
Under Israeli Privacy Protection Law, GDPR, and other applicable regulations, you have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of your personal data
- Rectification: Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Erasure ("right to be forgotten"): Request the deletion of your data. Please note that to process your request effectively, we will suppress your contact details in our marketing systems rather than performing a complete deletion. This ensures that we can honor your opt-out preference in the future. Data that we are legally required to maintain will be retained in accordance with our retention policy.
- Restriction: Limit how we process your data
- Objection: Opt-out of marketing communications and profiling
- Data Portability: Receive your data in a structured format

- Adequacy decisions by competent data protection authorities
- Other appropriate safeguards as required by law
