HaYovel Inc, this website, and all associated social media and email services branded as “Greening Israel” truly value the privacy of our users. In fact, we’re so rooted in our commitment to protecting your information that we’ve planted this comprehensive policy here just for you!

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at greeningisrael.com, or any related media form, media channel, mobile website, or petition (collectively referred to as “the Site” or “our Site”).

Please take a moment to leaf through this Privacy Policy carefully. If you don’t agree with the terms, please don’t access the Site or provide your email address through any subscription form, donation form, website page, social media page, or petition form.

Changes to This Policy

Change is a natural part of growth, and our Privacy Policy may occasionally need to be pruned. We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. But don’t worry, if we make any changes, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the top of this privacy policy.

Any changes or modifications will be effective immediately upon posting the updated Privacy Policy. You waive the right to receive a specific notice of each such change or modification because, quite frankly, we know what it’s like to constantly be receiving “we updated our terms and policies” emails from every company under the sun. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes or modifications will confirm your acceptance of such changes or modifications.
