Data Location: We and our authorized Service Providers (defined below) maintain, process and store Personal Data in the United States of America (U.S.), the State of Israel and other jurisdictions, as necessary for the proper delivery of our Services, or as may be required by law.
While privacy laws may vary between jurisdictions, If-So and its affiliates and Service Providers are each committed to protect Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and customary industry standards, regardless of any lesser legal requirements that may apply in their jurisdiction.
If-So is headquartered in Israel, a jurisdiction which is considered by the European Commission and the UK Secretary of State to be offering an equally adequate level of protection for personal data as is granted in the EEA and the UK, respectively. We transfer personal data from the EEA (including Switzerland) and the UK to Israel on this basis. For data transfers from the EEA or UK to countries which are not considered to be offering an adequate level of data protection, we and the relevant data exporters and importers have entered (or will enter) into Standard Contractual Clauses as approved by the European Commission and UK ICO.
Data Retention: We retain End-User Data in accordance with the respective Customer’s instructions and in accordance with the Data Processing Addendum.
We retain Customer and Visitor Personal Data for as long as reasonably necessary in order to maintain and expand our relationship with them and to provide them with our Services. When a Customer uses the Product for a free trial period, we will retain the Customer Data for a shortened time period in order to provide the Services until the free trial period ends or longer, as necessary to fulfill our legitimate business interests and in accordance with our data retention policy and applicable laws requiring us to retain data.
We will also retain your Personal Data for as long as is required in order to comply with our legal and contractual obligations, or to protect ourselves from any potential disputes (i.e. as required by laws applicable to log-keeping, records and bookkeeping, and to have proof and evidence concerning our relationship, should any legal issues arise following your discontinuance of use), in accordance with our data retention policy.
Please note that except as required by applicable law, we will not be obligated to retain your Personal Data for any particular period, and we are free to securely delete it for any reason and at any time, with or without notice to you. If you have any questions about our data retention policy, please contact us by email at info@if-so.com.
- Data Disclosure
We disclose Personal Data in the following ways:
Legal Compliance: We may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to your Personal Data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Such disclosure or access may occur if we believe in good faith that we are legally compelled to do so, or that it is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing.
Service Providers: We may engage selected third-party companies and individuals to perform services complementary to our own, namely – hosting, data analytics, marketing and advertising, data and cyber security, payment processing, user engagement, e-mail distribution and monitoring, text messaging and session recording; as well as our business, legal and financial advisors (collectively, “Service Providers“). These Service Providers may have access to your Personal Data, depending on each of their specific roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services, and may only use it for such purposes.
Protecting Rights and Safety: We may share your Personal Data with others if we believe in good faith that this will help protect the rights, property or personal safety of If-So, any of our Customers, or any members of the general public.

In addition, should If-So or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates undergo any change in control, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all of its assets, your Personal Data may be shared with the parties involved in such event. If we believe that such change in control might materially affect your Personal Data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail or prominent notice on our Services.

- Data Subject Rights
If you wish to exercise your rights under any applicable law, including the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), such as – to the extent applicable – the right to know/request access to (specific pieces of Personal Data collected; categories of Personal Data collected; categories of sources from whom the Personal Data was collected; purpose of collecting Personal Data; categories of third parties with whom we have shared Personal Data), to request rectification or erasure of your Personal Data held with If-So, or to restrict or object to such Personal Data’s processing (including the right to direct us not to sell your Personal Data to third parties now or in the future), or to port such Personal Data, or the right to equal services and prices (e.g. freedom from discrimination) (each to the extent available to you under the laws which apply to you) – please contact us by email at info@if-so.com. Moreover, you may correct, update or remove Personal Data and/or deactivate your account by logging into your If-So account or accessing any other website, connected to If-So, where you have provided such data. If you are a GDPR-protected individual, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in the EU or the UK, as applicable.
Please note that once you contact us by e-mail regarding your Data Subject rights, we may require additional information and documents, including certain Personal Data, in order to authenticate and validate your identity so we could further process your request. Such additional data will be then retained by us for legal purposes (e.g. as proof of the identity of the person submitting the request), in accordance with Section 3 above.
- Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not designed to attract children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children and do not wish to do so. If we learn that a person under the age of 16 is using the Services, we will prohibit and block such use and will make all efforts to promptly delete any Personal Data stored with us with regard to such child. If you believe that we might have any such data, please contact us by email at info@if-so.com.
- Data Controller/Processor
Certain data protection laws and regulations, such as the EU GDPR, UK GDPR and the CCPA, typically distinguish between two main roles for parties processing Personal Data: the “Data Controller” (or under the CCPA, “business”), who determines the purposes and means of processing; and the “Data Processor” (or under the CCPA, “service provider”), who processes the data on behalf of the Data Controller. Below we explain how these roles apply to our Services, to the extent that such laws and regulations apply.
If-So is the “Data Controller” of its Prospect Data and Customer Data, and with respect to which, assumes the responsibilities of Data Controller (solely to the extent applicable under law), as set forth in this Privacy Policy. In such instances, our Service Providers processing such data will assume the role of “data processor”.
If-So is the “Data Processor” of End-User Data, as well as all generated content and further information on our Customer’s site visitors. If-So processes such data on behalf of the Customer (who is the “Data Controller” of such data; and our Service Providers who process such End-User Data on our behalf are the “sub-processors” of such data). Accordingly, with respect to End-User Data, the Customer will be responsible for meeting any legal requirements applicable to Data Controllers (such as establishing a legal basis for processing and responding to Data Subject Rights requests concerning the data they control).
- Additional Notices
Updates and Amendments: We may update and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time by posting an amended version on our Services. The amended version will be effective as of the date it is so published. We will provide a 10-day prior notice if we believe any substantial changes are involved via any of the communication means available to us or via the Services. After such notice period, all amendments shall be deemed accepted by you.
California Requirements: This policy describes the categories of personal information we may collect and the sources of such information (in Section 1 above), and our retention (Section 3) and deletion (Section 8) practices. We also included information about how we may process your information (in Sections 2 through 6), which includes for “business purposes” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not sell your personal information for the intents and purposes of CCPA. We may disclose personal data to third parties or allow them to collect personal data from our Services as described in Section 4 above, if those third parties are authorized Service Providers or business partners who have agreed to our contractual limitations as to their retention, use, and disclosure of such personal data, or direct us to disclose your personal data to third parties, or as otherwise described in Section 4 above.
If you have questions or would like to exercise your rights under the CCPA, you can contact us by email at info@if-so.com.
