International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are based outside Israel. When we use these services, your data may be transferred to and processed in other countries, including the United States.

Specifically:

Google Analytics — operated by Google LLC (United States). Google acts as a data processor and is bound by Google’s data processing terms, which include Standard Contractual Clauses as approved by the European Data Protection Board and recognized for adequacy purposes by ILITA.
Email service providers (if applicable) — subject to their respective data processing terms.

These transfers are made under appropriate safeguards as required by the Israeli Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Transfer to Databases Abroad), 5761-2001. If you would like more information about the specific safeguards in place, please contact us at hanita@octaloom.com.
