Privacy Privacy policy
This website exists to show what we do and to let you contact us. We collect very little, only what we need to reply to you, and this page explains exactly what and why.
In short
-
What we collect
Only what you write in the contact form or send us by email, plus basic technical data needed to run the site.
-
Why
To get back to you, to prepare a proposal if you ask for one, and to keep the site secure.
-
What we don't do
We don't sell data, we don't use advertising cookies, and we don't send newsletters without separate consent.
-
Your rights
To see your data, correct it, ask us to delete it and opt out of marketing. Just write to us.
Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is Lior Hamer, trading as HAMMER GIS (“we”). For any privacy question, email lior@hammer-gis.com or call +972-52-881-8131.
This policy covers www.hammer-gis.com in Hebrew and English. Our software products operate under separate agreements with each customer and are not covered by this policy.
What data we collect
Data you give us. When you fill in the contact form: full name, organisation or municipality, role, email address, phone number, enquiry topic and your message. Name and email are required; everything else is optional. We receive the same kind of data when you contact us by email, phone or WhatsApp.
If the form is unavailable, your email app opens with the details you entered, and the message is sent from your own mailbox.
Technical data. Like any website, our hosting provider's servers log basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the visit. This data is used for security and operations, not to identify you.
Cookies. The site does not use advertising cookies or marketing tracking. Your browser may store preferences such as language or reduced motion; these are not sent to us. If we add a usage-measurement tool in the future, we will update this page and ask for consent where the law requires it.
Why we use your data
- To reply to your enquiry and handle the correspondence about it.
- To prepare a proposal, arrange a meeting or demo, and manage our engagement, if you choose to go ahead.
- To keep the site secure and working, and to prevent misuse.
- To meet our legal obligations.
We will not send you newsletters or marketing material unless you have explicitly and separately agreed, as required by section 30A of the Communications Law. You can withdraw that consent at any time.
Notice under section 11 of the Privacy Protection Law
You are under no legal obligation to give us any data; doing so is your choice. Without a name and a way to reach you, we cannot get back to you. The data will be used for the purposes listed above, shared only with the service providers listed below, and you have the right to see it, correct it and ask us to delete it, as explained further down.
Transfers outside Israel
Some of our service providers store data on servers outside Israel. Such transfers follow the Privacy Protection (Transfer of Data to Databases Abroad) Regulations, 5761-2001, and are made only to providers committed to an adequate level of protection.
How long we keep data
Only as long as needed. An enquiry that did not lead to an engagement is deleted after [24 months]. If we start working together, correspondence is kept for the duration of the engagement and afterwards for the period the law requires, for example for tax and accounting. Server logs are kept for a short period under the hosting provider's policy.
How data is protected
The site is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), access to enquiries is limited to the people handling them, and we follow the Privacy Protection (Data Security) Regulations, 5777-2017. No system is completely immune, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data, and we will notify you and the Privacy Protection Authority of a serious incident as the law requires.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981, as amended by Amendment 13, you may:
- See the data we hold about you (section 13).
- Ask us to correct or delete data that is inaccurate, incomplete, unclear or out of date (section 14).
- Opt out of any marketing contact at any time (section 17F).
- Withdraw consent you have given, from then on.
To exercise a right, write to lior@hammer-gis.com. We will respond within the time the law sets and may ask you to verify your identity first. If you are not satisfied with how we handled it, you can contact the Privacy Protection Authority.
Children
The site is intended for professionals and organisations, not for children. We do not knowingly collect data about minors.
Changes to this policy
When we update this policy, we change the date at the bottom of the page. For a material change, such as collecting a new type of data, we will post a clear notice on the site. If the Hebrew and English versions differ, the Hebrew version prevails.
