Cookies and Similar Technologies
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure its proper operation, remember user preferences, improve accessibility, analyze website traffic, and understand how visitors use its content.
Cookies used on the website may include:
- Essential cookies: Required for the website’s operation, security, accessibility, and administrative functions.
- Preference cookies: Used to remember settings such as language, display, or accessibility preferences.
- Analytics cookies: Used to collect statistical information about website usage and performance.

Analytics
The website may use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to collect aggregated information about website traffic and usage.
These services may collect technical information such as IP addresses, device details, pages visited, and interaction data. Where possible, we configure such services to minimize the collection of identifying information.
For further information about how Google processes information, please review Google’s Privacy Policy.
Embedded Content and External Websites
Pages on this website may contain embedded content or links from external services, including videos, maps, documents, social networks, and other websites.
Embedded content may behave as though you visited the external website directly. These third parties may collect information about you, use cookies, and monitor your interaction with their content, particularly if you are logged into an account with that service.
The use of third-party services is governed by their respective privacy policies. The Center is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of external websites.
Sharing Information with Third Parties
We may share information with:
- Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and relevant university units
- Website hosting, maintenance, analytics, security, accessibility, and technical-service providers
- Professional advisers and authorized personnel where necessary
- Government authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law
- Other parties where necessary to protect legal rights, prevent harm, or investigate suspected misuse
Service providers may only process information for the purposes for which it was provided and subject to applicable contractual, confidentiality, and information-security obligations.
We do not sell personal information.
International Data Transfers
Some third-party service providers may process or store information outside Israel. When information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is made in accordance with applicable legal requirements and subject to appropriate safeguards.

Personal information will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymized, or retained securely where continued retention is required by law or institutional policy.
Information Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, loss, or destruction.
However, no website, information system, or method of transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute protection against every possible security incident.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through the website without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review and address the matter.
