Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 8, 2026  |  Last Updated: April 8, 2026

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for the processing of your personal data is:

2. What Data We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

A. Information You Provide Voluntarily

When you submit the contact form on the Site, we collect the information you provide, which may include:

• Full name
• Email address
• Phone number (optional)
• Legal area of interest (selected from a dropdown)
• The content of your message

You are not required to provide this information. If you do not submit the contact form, we do not collect any personally identifiable information directly from you.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you browse the Site, certain technical information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools, including:

• IP address (anonymised where required by applicable law)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring URL (the website you came from)
• Date and time of your visit
• Interaction with advertisements served on the Site

This information is collected via Google Analytics and Google AdSense. It does not, by itself, identify you personally, but it may constitute personal data under applicable privacy laws.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. We use cookies for the following purposes:

Category	Purpose	Provider
Analytics	Measure how visitors use the Site — pages viewed, session duration, traffic sources	Google Analytics
Advertising	Display relevant advertisements; measure ad performance; personalise ads based on browsing behaviour	Google AdSense
Functional	Remember your preferences during a session (e.g., open/closed state of FAQ items)	IsraelLaw.info

Managing cookies: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. You may also opt out of Google's use of cookies for advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on the Site.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use the Site and generates reports that help us improve its content and structure. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

We have activated IP anonymisation in Google Analytics, which means Google will truncate your IP address within EU/EEA member states before transmitting it to its servers. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the Site, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You can prevent Google's collection and processing of your data by:

• Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Adjusting your browser cookie settings to block third-party cookies

For more information about Google's privacy practices, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Google AdSense & Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites. The use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve advertisements based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

Google may use the DoubleClick cookie and other technologies to show you ads based on your browsing history (interest-based advertising). You may opt out of interest-based advertising by:

• Visiting Google Ads Settings
• Visiting aboutads.info (for non-Google ad networks)
• Installing the NAI opt-out tool

Opting out of interest-based advertising does not mean you will no longer see advertisements — it means the ads you see will be less personalised.

6. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Responding to your inquiries: When you submit a contact form, we use your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and message to respond to your request for information or legal consultation. This is the sole purpose for which we use your voluntarily submitted contact data.
• Improving the Site: Analytics data helps us understand which content is most useful, how users navigate the Site, and where we can improve the user experience.
• Displaying advertisements: AdSense data is used to serve contextually relevant or interest-based advertisements. We do not control the specific ads displayed; that is determined by Google's advertising platform.
• Legal compliance: We may process data where required to comply with applicable Israeli law, court orders, or regulatory obligations.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, the following legal bases apply to our processing of your personal data:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): For analytics cookies and advertising cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings or using the opt-out tools described above.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): For statistical analysis of site usage, where our interest in improving the Site does not override your privacy rights.
• Performance of a pre-contractual step (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): For responding to your contact form submissions, where you have requested information about our legal services.

8. Sharing of Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for their own marketing purposes. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

• Google LLC: As our analytics and advertising service provider. Google processes data on our behalf subject to its own Privacy Policy and the Data Processing Terms we have in place with Google.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your data to competent authorities if required by Israeli law, court order, or other legal process.
• Professional advisors: We may share data with our legal, financial, or technical advisors where necessary, subject to obligations of confidentiality.

9. Data Retention

We retain your data for the following periods:

• Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 3 years from the date of submission, or for the duration of any legal engagement that results from your inquiry, whichever is longer. After this period, data is securely deleted.
• Google Analytics data: Retained for 26 months by default, as configured in our Google Analytics account. You may request earlier deletion by contacting us.
• Google AdSense data: Retained according to Google's own data retention policy. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): Request deletion of your personal data, subject to any legal retention obligations.
• Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability: Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object: Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including for direct marketing purposes.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at office@eshimony-law.com. We will respond within 30 days. If you are located in the EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

For users in Israel, the Israeli Privacy Protection Law 1981 and the Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Security) 2017 govern the processing of your personal data. You may direct complaints to the Israeli Law, Information and Technology Authority (ILITA) at gov.il.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include secure email communications, restricted access to data within our office, and the use of reputable third-party service providers (Google) with their own robust security frameworks.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of data transmitted to or from the Site and do so at your own risk. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately at office@eshimony-law.com.

12. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, including eshimony-law.com and external legal resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal data. This Privacy Policy applies only to IsraelLaw.info.

13. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable law, or the services we use. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

Material changes — such as changes to the categories of data we collect or the parties with whom we share data — will be notified by a prominent notice on the Site.
