This Policy is written in accordance with Israeli law, including the Privacy Protection Law, 1981 and its regulations, as amended by Amendment 13 (which came into effect in August 2025), and applies to all visitors and users of the Website.

Information We Collect

We collect and process personal information in the following circumstances:

1. Information You Provide Directly

When you choose to contact us via the Website’s forms or through email or telephone, we collect the personal information you provide, including:

  • Contact details: your name, email address and phone number.
  • Professional information: any details about your business or project that you voluntarily supply in the message field.

There is no legal obligation to provide this information. However, if you choose not to supply contact details, we may not be able to respond to your enquiry or provide our services.

2. Information Collected Automatically

Like many websites, we use cookies, pixel tags and similar technologies to collect certain information automatically when you visit the Website. This may include:

  • Device and usage information: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, pages visited, time spent on pages and referral links.
  • Analytics data: We use analytics services (for example, Google Analytics or similar) to understand how visitors interact with the Website and to improve our content and services. These services may collect data across sites and over time. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may impact site functionality.
  • Social media and messaging tools: If you contact us via WhatsApp or other messaging links on the Website, those third‑party services may collect your personal data under their own privacy policies.

How We Use Personal Information

We process personal information only for purposes that are reasonable and legitimate in light of the services we offer. The main purposes include:

  • Providing services and responding to enquiries: We use the information you provide to respond to your requests, prepare proposals, communicate about potential projects and deliver design services.
  • Improving our Website and services: We analyse usage data to maintain, secure and enhance the Website and understand user interests.
  • Marketing communications: With your consent, we may send you updates about our services or portfolio. You can opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by following the instructions in the messages or contacting us.
  • Legal compliance: We may process and disclose your information to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests from public authorities or defend legal claims.

We will not use your personal information for purposes materially different from those described above unless we obtain your consent or we have a legal obligation to do so.

Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share personal information with third parties in the following situations:

  1. Service providers: We use trusted third‑party providers to host our Website, manage email, analyse traffic and operate our customer relationship management (CRM) systems. These providers may have access to personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their services and are subject to confidentiality obligations.
  2. Professional advisors: We may share information with lawyers, accountants or consultants for legitimate business purposes, provided they agree to keep the information confidential.
  3. Legal obligations: We may disclose information if required by law or court order, or to protect our rights, property or safety or that of others.
  4. Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition or other corporate transaction, personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, provided that the recipient continues to comply with this Policy.
  5. Aggregated or anonymised data: We may share aggregated statistics or anonymised information that does not identify individuals.

If we transfer personal information to service providers located outside Israel, we will do so in compliance with Israeli law (including Amendment 13) and use appropriate safeguards such as contractual clauses or reliance on adequacy decisions.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. These measures include access controls, encryption where appropriate and regular review of our security practices. However, no system can be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority and affected individuals as required by law.

Your Rights

Under the Israeli Privacy Protection Law and its regulations, including Amendment 13, you have several rights regarding your personal information:

  • Right to be informed: You have the right to know what information we collect, the purposes of processing, the legal basis for processing and the categories of recipients. This Policy is intended to provide that information.
  • Right of access: You may request confirmation as to whether we hold personal information about you and receive a copy of that information.
  • Right to rectification: If your information is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct or update it.
  • Right to erasure: In certain circumstances, you may request the deletion of your personal data. We may retain information if required by law or if needed for legitimate business purposes.
  • Right to object to processing: You may object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing or other reasons relating to your particular situation, unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue processing.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent to process your information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to file a complaint with the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority if you believe your rights have been infringed. We encourage you to contact us first so that we can address your concerns.

To exercise your rights, please contact us at [email protected] We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by law, usually within 30 days.

Data Retention

We store personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, to provide our services, to comply with legal obligations (for example, retaining business records) and to resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we will delete it or anonymise it so it can no longer be associated with you.

International Transfers

The Website may be hosted on servers located outside Israel, and some of our service providers may be located in other countries. If personal information is transferred outside Israel, we will ensure that the transfer complies with applicable data‑protection laws and is subject to appropriate safeguards, such as contractual clauses ensuring the recipient’s obligations regarding data protection.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without parental consent, we will delete it promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have collected information about a child, please contact us.

Third‑Party Links

The Website contains links to third‑party websites and social‑media profiles (for example, Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this Policy indicates when it was last revised. If we make significant changes, we will provide notice by updating the Policy on our Website or by other appropriate means. Your continued use of the Website after any update constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
