Privacy notice
In short. I collect only what is needed to answer an enquiry and to run the newsletter. Please do not enter confidential information before an engagement is agreed in writing.
1. What is collected
- The contact form. What you type in the contact form (your name, company or fund, email, phone, the subject you choose, the short description and your confirmation) is sent through the form service of the hosting provider, which stores it and notifies me by email. Please leave out anything confidential.
- Newsletter sign-up. Your email address, any name you give, the language of the page, the time you signed up, the time you confirmed, and a salted hash of your IP address. The raw IP address is not stored. The hash exists only to limit abuse of the form and to evidence that the sign-up was genuine.
- Technical. Standard server logs kept by the hosting provider.
2. Why it is collected
To respond to enquiries and to comply with professional and legal obligations.
3. The newsletter, specifically
Sign-up uses double opt-in. Submitting the form does not add you to the list: it creates a pending record and sends you a confirmation email. Your address becomes active only when you click the link in that email, and nothing else is sent to you before that.
Every message carries an unsubscribe link that works immediately and needs no reply or explanation. Your address is used only for these notes. It is not sold, rented or shared, and it is not used for anything else.
4. Whether it is retained
- Contact enquiries are retained while the matter is live and for a limited period afterwards.
- Where an engagement is agreed, retention of the matter file is governed by that engagement and by professional obligations, which may require longer retention.
- Newsletter records are kept while you are subscribed. If you unsubscribe, the record is marked as unsubscribed and retained so that you are not contacted again by mistake; ask and it will be deleted entirely.
5. Whether information is sent to AI tools
Not before an engagement exists. Once a matter is under way, tools may assist with organising, comparing and drafting documents for that matter, on the information and permissions agreed with the client, subject to confidentiality obligations. See the AI use notice.
6. Who else processes information, and where
Service providers used to operate this site process information on my behalf, under contract and for these purposes only:
- Hosting and forms. The site, its server functions, and the messages sent through the contact form.
- Database and authentication. Where newsletter records are stored.
- Email delivery. Sending the newsletter and the confirmation messages.
- Scheduling. Cal.com, for booking a call.
Where the information is held. These providers operate outside Israel, and newsletter records are therefore stored abroad. Email delivery is currently processed in Ireland, and scheduling data is processed in the United States. Where a provider's location changes, this notice is updated.
Server logs. The hosting provider keeps standard access logs for a limited period as part of running the service, and I do not control how long.
7. Cookies
This site does not use advertising or analytics cookies, and it does not track visitors across sites. If you open the booking window, Cal.com may set its own cookies, under its own terms. If this changes, this notice will be updated before any such tool is used, and where required you will be asked for your consent first.
8. Your requests, including deletion
You may ask what information is held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to office@glevit-law.com. Some records may need to be retained where professional or legal obligations require it, and I will say so if that is the case.
9. Please do not send confidential information early
Do not send confidential or privileged information through this site before an engagement is agreed in writing. Information sent before that point may not attract professional privilege and may create a conflict that prevents me from acting.
10. Contact
Questions about this notice: office@glevit-law.com.
11. If you are not satisfied
If you are not satisfied with how a request of yours was handled, you may complain to the Privacy Protection Authority in Israel.
