Privacy Policy
This policy explains how Ofer Tal Law Office collects, uses, stores and protects personal information provided through this website, and describes your rights under Israel’s Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981.
Who controls the information?
The controller of personal information collected through this website is Ofer Tal Law Office. Privacy requests may be submitted by telephone at 054-502-6000 or by email to ofertal.law@gmail.com.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect:
- Name and contact details, including telephone number and email address.
- The subject and content of an inquiry submitted through a form, WhatsApp, email or telephone.
- Information concerning a traffic matter or legal proceeding that you choose to provide.
- Limited technical information required to operate and secure the website, such as IP address, browser information and security logs.
- Accessibility preferences stored locally in your browser when you use the accessibility controls.
Why the information is used
- To receive, review and respond to inquiries.
- To arrange an initial consultation and assess whether the office can assist.
- To provide legal services if an engagement is subsequently agreed.
- To operate, secure, maintain and improve the website.
- To comply with legal, professional, accounting or regulatory obligations and to establish or defend legal rights.
Voluntary submission and consequences of refusal
Providing information through the website is voluntary and there is no legal obligation to use the forms. However, without the required name and telephone number, the office may be unable to identify the inquiry or respond. Please avoid including information that is not necessary for the initial inquiry.
Submitting a form does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Do not use the website for an urgent deadline, and avoid sending highly confidential documents until the office confirms an appropriate method of transmission.
Who may receive the information?
Information may be made available only as reasonably necessary to:
- The lawyer and authorized personnel working for the office.
- Website hosting, maintenance, security, email and communications providers processing information for the office.
- Professional advisers or service providers where necessary for the inquiry or legal service.
- Courts, government authorities, law-enforcement bodies or other parties where disclosure is required or permitted by law, or necessary for legal proceedings.
Contact-form information will not be used to send advertising or direct marketing unless separate consent is requested and provided. Refusing marketing consent will not prevent you from submitting a legal inquiry.
Retention and information security
Information is retained for the period reasonably required to handle the inquiry, provide services, meet professional or legal obligations, resolve disputes and protect legal rights. Retention periods may differ according to the nature of the inquiry and whether legal representation begins.
The office applies reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information. Nevertheless, no internet transmission, email system or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Service providers and processing outside Israel
Hosting, email, communications or technical service providers may process information on servers located outside Israel. Where applicable, the office will use such services subject to the legal requirements governing transfers of personal information from Israel.
Access and correction rights
Subject to Sections 13 and 14 of the Protection of Privacy Law, you may request access to personal information about you held in a database and request correction or deletion of information that is inaccurate, incomplete, unclear or outdated. A request should include sufficient details to identify you and the relevant information. Additional verification may be requested before information is disclosed or changed.
The controller of personal information collected through this website is Ofer Tal Law Office. Privacy requests may be submitted by telephone at 054-502-6000 or by email to ofertal.law@gmail.com.
Cookies and local browser storage
The website may use essential cookies or local browser storage required for security, WordPress functionality and remembering accessibility preferences. If analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies are added in the future, this policy and any required consent mechanism will be updated accordingly.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the website, service providers or applicable law. The current version and its update date will be published on this page.
