Contact, including for privacy requests: email office@ms-firm.co.il · phone +972 72‑221‑4707 · WhatsApp +972 3‑575‑5615.

2. What we collect

• Through the enquiry form: your name, a phone number for us to call back, the topic you chose in the questionnaire (and, if you said, whether you are an employee, employer or executive), the page language, and a short message if you choose to write one, together with your confirmation that the firm may contact you. If you arrived from a campaign link, its campaign (UTM) parameters are sent with the enquiry.
• Through WhatsApp: your phone number, your profile name and the content of your message, which pass through the WhatsApp service. The prefilled text only says that you came from this page and names the topic you chose, and you can edit it before sending. A message that looks like a new enquiry from a number not yet in our records may be recorded automatically in the firm's enquiry system (via Make and Google Sheets) so that we can reply.
• Basic technical data, such as IP address and browser type, may be recorded in the server logs of the hosting provider (Vercel Inc.) for operation and security. These logs are kept by Vercel for a short period (up to one day on the standard plans) and contain no name, phone number or enquiry content.
• Browser storage: your choice in the cookie notice, any accessibility preferences you set, and the topic you chose in the current tab. See the cookie policy for details.

3. Is providing information required?

There is no legal obligation to provide information; it is voluntary and based on your consent. Without a name and phone number we cannot call you back through the form. You can also reach us on WhatsApp, or ask for general information without giving personal details.

4. Why we use it

• To get back to you about your enquiry, understand the matter and consider whether we can assist.
• To check for conflicts of interest, as lawyers must before taking on a matter.
• To keep a record of the enquiry where needed to run the firm or required by law.
• To improve the site using aggregate data, only if measurement tools are introduced in future and only with your consent.

5. Sensitive information and confidentiality

An employment enquiry may involve sensitive information, such as health, pay or personal circumstances. Please do not attach documents or include sensitive details in the form; we will go through them with you in conversation.

The firm treats enquiries with confidentiality and care, including where an enquiry does not lead to representation. The firm will keep the information provided in an enquiry confidential even where no lawyer–client relationship is formed, and will use it only to consider the enquiry and to check for conflicts of interest. An enquiry through the site does not in itself create a lawyer–client relationship (see the terms of use).

6. Who may receive it

• Service providers that process information for the firm: the site’s hosting provider, Vercel Inc.; the Make (make.com) automation service and Google Sheets for managing enquiries, including recording enquiries received on WhatsApp; and WhatsApp (part of Meta) when you choose to contact us through it. Enquiry form details are passed from the site's server on Vercel to Make and recorded in the firm's enquiry sheet in Google Sheets.
• WhatsApp (part of Meta), when you choose to contact us through it; its own terms and policy also apply.
• Authorities or others only where the law requires it.
• The firm does not sell personal information or share it for other parties’ marketing.

7. Transfers outside Israel

These providers may process information outside Israel. Any such transfer will be made in accordance with the law, including the Protection of Privacy (Transfer of Data to Databases Abroad) Regulations, 5761‑2001. As at the update date: Make operates for the firm in the European Union region (EU1); the site's server functions on Vercel run in the iad1 region in the United States, and the site is also served from Vercel's global edge network; the enquiry sheet is kept in the firm's Google account, on Google's servers.

8. Security

The firm seeks to apply reasonable measures to protect information. The site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. No system is completely secure, so please do not send sensitive information through the site. Form details are sent from the site's server to Make over an encrypted connection, with an access key that is kept on the server only and is never exposed in the browser.

9. How long we keep it

Information is kept for as long as needed to deal with the enquiry, and then for the period required by law or to protect legal rights. Enquiries that do not lead to representation, through any channel (form, WhatsApp, phone or email), are deleted from the enquiry system 12 months after the enquiry, unless longer retention is required by law or to check for conflicts of interest.

10. Your rights

• To access information about you (section 13 of the Law).
• To ask for information that is inaccurate, incomplete, unclear or out of date to be corrected or deleted (section 14 of the Law).
• To withdraw consent you have given, for example to optional cookies, via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of the page.
• Send requests to office@ms-firm.co.il, by phone on +972 72‑221‑4707 or on WhatsApp +972 3‑575‑5615. We may ask for details to verify your identity. We will respond within the time set by law.

11. Marketing messages

The firm does not send advertising messages through the site. If it does so in future, it will be only with your express consent, in accordance with section 30A of the Communications (Telecommunications and Broadcasting) Law, 5742‑1982, and you may withdraw at any time.

12. Cookies and similar technologies

Browser storage, optional technologies that are not currently active, and how to manage your choice are described in the cookie policy.

13. Changes

We will update this policy when the way we handle information changes, and in particular before any measurement or advertising tool is introduced. The date of the latest update appears at the top of the page.
