This Privacy Policy explains how Ofer Lavi (“I,” “me,” or “my”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you visit oferlavi.com (the “Site”), contact me, or subscribe to receive news and updates.

1. Who is responsible for your information

The person responsible for the processing described in this policy is:

Ofer Lavi
Public mailing address to be added before launch
United States
Email: ofer@oferlavi.com

2. Information I collect

I may collect the following categories of information:

• Information you provide: your name, email address, message, newsletter preferences, and any other information you choose to submit through the Site.
• Subscription information: signup and confirmation status, subscription date, unsubscribe status, and related technical records needed to manage the mailing list.
• Technical information: IP address, browser and device information, referring page, requested pages, timestamps, server logs, and information used to protect and operate the Site.
• Cookie and consent information: your cookie choices and the records necessary to remember and demonstrate those choices.
• Analytics information: information about visits and interactions collected through Google Analytics 4, but only after analytics consent has been given.

3. How I use the information

I use personal information to:

• respond to messages and enquiries;
• send newsletters, reader updates, and related material you requested;
• manage subscriptions, confirmations, and unsubscribe requests;
• understand how the Site is used and improve its content and performance;
• maintain the security, availability, and integrity of the Site; and
• comply with legal obligations and protect legal rights.

4. Legal bases for processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, I rely on one or more of the following:

• Consent, including for newsletters and non-essential analytics cookies;
• Legitimate interests, including operating, securing, and improving the Site and responding to enquiries;
• Performance of a contract or steps requested before a contract, where relevant; and
• Legal obligations, when information must be retained or disclosed by law.

You may withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

5. Newsletter and email communications

If you subscribe, the Site uses a confirmation process to verify your request. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting me. I may retain a limited suppression record so that your unsubscribe request continues to be respected.

6. Cookies and consent

The Site uses essential cookies and similar technologies required for security, basic functionality, and remembering consent choices. Non-essential analytics cookies are blocked unless you choose to allow them.

You can change or withdraw your choices at any time through the Manage consent link in the Site footer. For details about the cookies currently used, please see the Site’s Cookie Policy.

7. Google Analytics

With your consent, the Site uses Google Analytics 4 (“GA4”) to understand general traffic and interaction patterns. GA4 is provided by Google. Analytics data associated with users and events may be retained for up to 14 months. Google may process information on servers in the United States and other countries, subject to its own privacy terms and applicable transfer safeguards.

Declining analytics cookies does not prevent you from using the Site.

8. How information is shared

I may share personal information only as reasonably necessary with service providers that help operate the Site and its communications, including website hosting, email delivery, newsletter management, security, consent management, and analytics providers. I may also disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights, or in connection with a transfer of the Site or related business assets.

I do not sell personal information.

9. Data retention

I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including:

• contact messages for as long as needed to respond and maintain appropriate records;
• newsletter information until you unsubscribe, followed by any limited record needed to respect that request;
• security and server logs according to routine operational and security schedules;
• consent records for as long as needed to demonstrate and manage your choices; and
• GA4 user-level and event data for up to 14 months.

Information may be retained longer where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

10. International transfers

The Site is operated from the United States and uses service providers that may process information in other countries. Where required, reasonable contractual or legal safeguards are used for international transfers. Privacy protections may differ from those in your country.

11. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or portability of your personal information; to object to certain processing; and to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.

To exercise a privacy right, email ofer@oferlavi.com. I may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

12. Security

I use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect personal information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

13. Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact me so it can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

14. External links

The Site may link to websites or services operated by others. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

15. Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy when the Site, its services, or applicable requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top will identify the current version.
