This Policy is intended to comply with applicable Israeli privacy and data protection laws, including the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 (including Amendment No. 13), and the Protection of Privacy Regulations (Data Security), 5777-2017, as may be amended from time to time. Where we transfer Personal Information outside Israel, we will do so in accordance with the Protection of Privacy Regulations (Transfer of Data to Databases Outside the State Borders), 5761-2001, and any other applicable requirements.
