Privacy policy

General

A.A Rotshtein Construction and Development, company no. 513663377, and its related companies in the A.A Rotshtein group (together: “the company”) respect the privacy of users of the company’s website, of those interested in the projects and services it offers and of its customers.

This privacy policy sets out what personal information is collected through use of the site and in dealings with the company, what it is used for, who it may be shared with, how it is kept and what rights you have regarding it.

The policy was prepared in line with the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 and the regulations and laws under it. It applies to use of the site, to the forms on it and to enquiries sent to the company through its various communication channels.

What information is collected

When you use the site and contact the company, the following types of information may be collected:

A. Information you choose to give

1. In the contact forms and the pop-up form: full name, phone number, email address and, in some forms, the topic and your message.
2. In the job application form: full name, phone number, the position you are applying for and your CV file, including anything you choose to put in it.
3. Preferences and approvals you gave while using the site, including agreement to this policy and separate consent to marketing, if given.
4. Any other information you choose to give the company by email, by phone, on social networks or through any other channel.

B. Technical information collected while you browse

When you use the site, technical information may be generated automatically, including IP address, browser type, device type, the time of access and the pages you visited.

The site may also keep information about your cookie preferences and accessibility settings, as described in the site’s cookie policy.

C. Information in agreements with the company

If you enter into any agreement with the company, including an agreement to buy an apartment, an agreement concerning an urban renewal project or any other arrangement, the company may collect and process further information needed to manage the arrangement and meet its obligations, in line with the agreement and the law.

Giving information to the company is not a legal requirement, and you do so voluntarily and with your consent. However, without contact details the company may be unable to answer your enquiry, and without a CV it cannot consider your application.

If you give the company personal information about a third party, please make sure you are entitled to do so and that the person concerned is aware of it, as far as the law requires.

The information may be kept in the company’s systems and in the systems of service providers working on its behalf.

The controller of the database is A.A Rotshtein Construction and Development, company no. 513663377, 45 Rothschild Street, Rishon LeZion, Israel.

What the information is used for

The company will use the personal information it collects for the following purposes:

1. Handling and answering enquiries from users, giving information about the company’s projects and services and managing ongoing contact with them.
2. Considering applications for open positions and managing screening and recruitment.
3. Sending updates, messages and advertising about the company’s projects and services, subject to appropriate consent or as the law allows.
4. Operating, maintaining and improving the site.
5. Securing the site and systems, and detecting and preventing unauthorized use, fraud, attempted harm or any activity that could harm the company or users.
6. Complying with the law, regulations and obligations that apply to the company.
7. Protecting the company’s rights and legitimate interests, including in resolving disputes and in legal proceedings.

The company does not use information to make decisions with a significant effect on users that are based solely on automated processing of personal information.

Sharing information with third parties

The company does not sell personal information to third parties.

However, the company may pass personal information to others in the following cases, to the extent needed for the relevant purpose:

1. Outside service providers: those providing the company with services, including hosting, site maintenance, email, technical support and other operational services. The site is hosted by WordPress.com (Automattic), which also runs the site’s content delivery network, and information given on the site may be processed on its servers, including outside Israel.
2. Advisers and professionals: lawyers, accountants and other professional advisers, where needed for their services to the company.
3. Business partners in projects: partners in a particular project, where needed to handle your enquiry or provide the service you asked for.
4. Legal or court requirements: where a law, court order or demand by a competent authority requires it.
5. Legal proceedings and protecting rights: where needed to conduct legal proceedings, resolve a dispute or prevent harm to the company, users or third parties.
6. Structural or business change: in a merger, acquisition, transfer of activity, restructuring or sale of the company’s activity, the information may pass to whoever takes its place, subject to the law.

Some of the company’s service providers may store or process information outside Israel. Any such transfer will follow the law and the conditions that apply to transferring personal information abroad.

Cookies and outside content

The site uses one necessary cookie, which keeps the user’s choice about cookie settings. Browser local storage is also used to keep accessibility preferences.

The site runs one statistics tool, Jetpack Stats by WordPress.com (Automattic), and only after you agree to the statistics category in the cookie settings. It counts page views and receives technical information, including your IP address, so the company can see overall visit numbers. The site does not run advertising tools.

If other tools are added in the future, they will be activated in line with the law and after consent, where required, and the relevant details will appear in the cookie policy.

The site may also include outside content and services, including films embedded through YouTube and maps embedded through Google. This content loads only after appropriate consent in the cookie settings or following an action by the user.

When outside content loads, the relevant providers, including Google, may receive technical information about the user, such as an IP address, and use cookies and similar technologies, under their own privacy policies.

For more on the types of cookies, how they are used and how to change your preferences, see the site’s separate cookie policy.

To protect the forms against spam, the site uses Cloudflare Turnstile. When you start filling in a form, Cloudflare may receive technical information, including your IP address, to check that the submission is not automated.

Links to outside sites

The site may include links to outside sites, including social networks, information sites and third-party services.

These sites are not operated or managed by the company, and their use is subject to the terms and privacy policies of those third parties.

The company is not responsible for the content of outside sites, for how they collect information or for how their operators use it. We recommend reading the privacy policy of every outside site you visit.

Information security

The company takes accepted and reasonable security measures, suited to the nature of the information and the risks of keeping and processing it, to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, alteration or exposure.

Among other things, these measures include encrypted communication on the site, limiting access to authorized persons only, protection against intrusion attempts and spam, and checks on files uploaded through the site’s forms.

Files attached to forms on the site are sent to the company’s email address and are not kept in the site’s systems after they are sent.

Despite these efforts and measures, no information system or security measure guarantees absolute protection against intrusion, unauthorized access or security incidents. The company therefore cannot guarantee that its systems and information are completely immune.

If you learn of a suspected security breach or unauthorized use of personal information, please let the company know using the contact details in this policy.

Marketing and direct mail

The company may send users messages, updates and advertising about the projects, products and services it offers, by email, text message (SMS), WhatsApp or other digital channels.

Advertising will be sent subject to explicit consent, where the law requires it, or under the exceptions and provisions set by law, including where a user’s details were given during a purchase or negotiations for a purchase, and subject to the conditions set by law.

This section also serves as notice under section 30A(c) of the Israeli Communications (Telecommunications and Broadcasting) Law, 5742-1982.

Any user may ask at any time to be removed from the mailing list, by clicking the unsubscribe link in the message, by sending a refusal through the same channel the message came through, or by contacting office@aarotshtein.com.

If the company carries out direct mail as defined in the Protection of Privacy Law, anyone may ask that information about them no longer be used for such approaches, in line with the law.

Users’ rights regarding personal information

Subject to the law, anyone may exercise their rights regarding personal information about them, including:

1. Right of access: to ask to see personal information the company holds about them.
2. Right to correction: to ask to correct personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete, unclear or outdated.
3. Right to deletion: to ask to delete personal information, as far as possible and permitted by law.
4. Withdrawing consent: to cancel consent given for processing information or receiving marketing, subject to the law and the effects of cancelling.

Requests to exercise these rights can be sent to the company at office@aarotshtein.com.

To handle a request, the company may ask for further details or documents to verify the identity of the person asking and to ensure the information reaches someone entitled to receive it.

The company will consider every request and respond within the times set by law. If a request is refused in whole or in part, the person asking will receive suitable notice and guidance on the options open to them by law.

You can also complain to the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority, in line with the law.

If additional privacy law applies to you, including the law of European Union countries, you may have further rights under it. Requests to exercise such rights can be sent using the same contact details.

Use of the site by minors

The site and the company’s services are intended for adults.

Users under 18 are asked not to give the company personal information without the approval of a parent or legal guardian.

If a parent or guardian learns that a minor gave the company personal information without suitable approval, they can ask the company to look into it and delete the information, in line with the law.

How long information is kept

The company will keep personal information for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to manage its activity and to meet its legal and contractual obligations.

As a rule, the retention periods are as follows:

1. Enquiries received through the site: up to three years from the last enquiry.
2. CVs of applicants who were not hired: up to two years from the application, unless earlier deletion was requested.
3. Information relating to marketing: until a request to be removed from the mailing list, subject to keeping what is needed to record the request and comply with the law.
4. Information about your cookie choice: up to two years from when the choice was saved.

Even so, the company may keep information for longer where the law requires it, as part of a contract with the user, for legal proceedings or resolving a dispute, or to protect its rights.

Information that has been anonymized so that the user cannot be identified, including aggregate statistics, may be kept without a time limit.

Changes to this policy

The company reserves the right to update and change this privacy policy from time to time as needed, among other things following changes in its activity, technology, the services offered on the site or the law.

The current version of the privacy policy will be published on the company’s site with the date of its last update.

In the event of a significant change, the company will publish a suitable notice on the site, according to the circumstances and the law.

Continuing to use the site after the updated policy is published means you are aware of its publication, without limiting users’ rights under the law.
