Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Hetz Hazafon Mapping & Engineering Ltd (the "Company") respects the privacy of the site's users and operates in accordance with the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 1981, including Amendment No. 13, and the Protection of Privacy Regulations (Data Security), 2017. This policy details what information is collected on the site, how it is used, how long it is kept, and what your rights are.
Information collected
- Information you provide: full name, phone, email address and message content — only when you submit the contact form.
- Privacy & cookie consent record: when you make a choice in the cookie banner, a unique consent ID (in the form HZ-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) is created and we store your choices, the time, the policy version, the site language, a shortened IP address (last digit removed), browser type and the page on which consent was given. This record is needed to prove that consent was given and to let you withdraw or delete it.
- Technical information: standard server logs (IP address, access time, requested URL) for security and operation, and cookies as detailed below.
Purposes of use
Information provided in the form is used solely to respond to your inquiry. Providing it depends on your consent and is a condition for receiving a response. The consent record is used to run site components according to your choice and to document consent. The Company does not use the information for marketing communications without separate, explicit consent.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses the categories below. Analytics and marketing operate only after you consent in the banner, and you can change your choice at any time with the floating permissions button in the corner of the screen.
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session cookie & XSRF-TOKEN | Necessary | Form security and protection against request forgery | Until browser is closed / about 2 hours |
| hz_consent | Necessary | Stores your cookie choice and consent ID | 13 months |
| hz_a11y (local storage) | Necessary | Remembers the accessibility preferences you selected; stored in your browser only | Until deleted |
| Analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics) | Analytics | Counting visits and measuring site performance — only with consent | Per provider |
| Marketing tools (e.g. an advertising pixel) | Marketing | Campaign measurement and relevant ads — only with consent | Per provider |
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Sharing with third parties
The Company does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers acting on its behalf and bound by confidentiality — site hosting, security monitoring (Weblock Cyber Sentinel), email delivery and anti-spam verification — or where legally required. When the interactive map is displayed, map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap servers, so your IP address is visible to them. Analytics and marketing tools, if enabled, run only after your consent and transfer data to their providers, sometimes outside Israel.
Data security and retention
The Company implements security measures in accordance with the Data Security Regulations (2017), including encrypted transport, restricted access to the admin panel with two-factor authentication, and dedicated security monitoring. Inquiries are kept for up to 24 months; consent records for up to 13 months from the last confirmation; the data is then deleted. You may request earlier deletion at any time (see below).
Your rights
Under the Protection of Privacy Law you have the right to review the personal information held about you, to request its correction or deletion, and to withdraw consent you gave. You can exercise these rights via the contact form or by email at office@hetz-hazafon.co.il. A request to delete your consent and cookie data can be submitted with one click, without filling in any details, using the button further down this page. Only an irreversible hash reference is kept to document that the request was handled.
Policy updates
The Company may update this policy from time to time. On a material change you will be asked to confirm your cookie choices again. The binding version is the one published on the site; last updated: September 2026.
