This Privacy Policy is so you know how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information whenever you visit our website theisraelguys.com, theisraelguys.store, events.theisraelguys.com or any other media form, media channel, mobile website, or petition related or connected thereto (collectively referred to in this policy as “the Site” or “our Site”)

Sometimes Things Change
As much we love things to stay the same, change is one of those unavoidable realities of life. 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. We don’t want to bombard your inbox with emails that aren’t going to be helpful to you.

Basically, you just need to know that if you continue to use our website, or if give us your email address and personal information through a subscribe form, petition, or any other method, you are agreeing to and accepting the terms of this privacy policy in full, recent changes and all.
