1. Data Storage and Security
   All data collected through this website is stored on Wix’s secure servers. Wix implements industry-standard security measures such as firewalls, encrypted connections (SSL), and secure databases.

As Wix is a global platform, your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including the United States and Israel. Security standards for these international transfers are detailed in Section 5.

   We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is only shared with service providers who help us operate our website and deliver our services, strictly in compliance with data protection laws.

5.1 Processors and Service Providers
As our website is hosted on Wix.com, Wix acts as our primary data processor. Wix processes your data strictly on our behalf and according to our instructions. We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Wix to ensure your data is handled securely.

5.2 International Data Transfers
Because Wix utilizes global infrastructure, your personal data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA). To ensure an adequate level of data protection during these transfers:

• Israel: The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for Israel, recognizing that it provides an appropriate level of data protection.

• United States and other countries: For transfers to countries without an EU adequacy decision, Wix utilizes the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to guarantee that your personal data is protected to European legal standards.
