Privacy policy
Last updated:
Your privacy matters to us. This page explains what information we collect on the site, why, how it is kept, and what your rights are. It follows the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, and its regulations (including Amendment 13), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for people writing from Europe. If there is any difference between this translation and the Hebrew version, the Hebrew version applies.
Who is responsible for the information
The database controller: מקבץ נדחי ישראל (ע״ר). For privacy matters: יאיר אמסלם, 058-4884458, yairixstudio@gmail.com.
What we collect
- Details you fill in on the forms: name, email, phone, country, preferred language, and in the application also date of birth, country of origin, marital status, background, a personal description and any documents you attach.
- When a form is filled in for someone else: the contact details of the person filling it in, the candidate's name and their relationship. The person filling it in confirms that the candidate agreed to share the details.
- Basic technical information needed to run and secure the site, such as IP address and browser type.
Sensitive information
Information about religious affiliation and origin is information of special sensitivity. We collect only what is needed to handle your enquiry, protect it with appropriate security measures, and use it only for that purpose.
How we use the information
- To get back to you and handle your enquiry or application.
- To arrange conversations, study and guidance.
- To meet our legal obligations.
Giving information is voluntary
There is no legal obligation to give the information. Giving it depends on your consent, but without the required fields we cannot handle your enquiry.
Who receives the information
Only the court staff handling the enquiry can access it. The site runs on the Wix platform, which processes the information for us and stores it on servers that may be outside Israel, under data processing agreements. We do not sell information and do not pass it on for marketing.
How long we keep the information
A conversion case is kept with no time limit. Conversion is a lifelong status, and converts, their families and authorities turn to us for confirmations many years later. An enquiry that did not become a case is deleted on request.
Cookies and analytics
The site uses only the cookies and local storage it needs to work (for example, remembering your text size and communicating with the forms). We do not use advertising cookies or marketing tracking.
Minors
Applications are from age 18. An enquiry about a minor is made by a parent or guardian, through the contact form.
Your rights
- To see the information kept about you.
- To ask us to correct information that is wrong or out of date.
- To ask us to delete the information.
- To withdraw your consent at any time.
- For people in the European Union: also the right to restrict processing, to data portability and to complain to the supervisory authority.
You can exercise these rights through the contact page. We answer within 30 days.
Information security
The information is sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and kept with access limited to authorised staff only.
