Privacy Policy for israel public libraries

Last Updated: January 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how israel public libraries manages personal information within the mobile application (the "App").

1. Information Collection and Use

User Credentials: To provide the core functionality of the App (accessing library services), the App requires your library username and password.

• Local Processing: This information is processed and stored locally on your device only.
• No Third-Party Sharing: We do not share, sell, or transmit these credentials to any third parties.

2. Data Storage and Security

• No Server-Side Storage: We do not store any user data on our own servers.
• Cloud Infrastructure: While our support infrastructure uses Google Cloud secured with SSH, no personal user credentials or library data are ever transmitted to or stored on this infrastructure.
• Local Protection: Because your data is stored on your device, we recommend using device-level security (passcodes, biometric locks) to prevent unauthorized access.

3. Data Retention and Deletion

You have full control over your data. Since data is stored only locally, you can delete all information collected by the App at any time by:

1. Clearing the App's cache/data in your device settings.
2. Uninstalling the ספריות ישראל App.

4. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children.
