We respect the privacy of users of our services. The purpose
of this Privacy Policy document is to outline, in principle, the types of personal information we collect, the
purpose of its collection, the uses and processing that are or may be performed with it, and its transfer to third
parties. We will also provide information regarding your rights concerning the personal information we collect about
you. These actions are carried out by us in accordance with the provisions of the Protection of Privacy Law,
5741-1981 (hereinafter: “the Law”) and the regulations enacted thereunder, the Communications Law
(Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 5742-1982, and other applicable legal and regulatory provisions, including

When we use the terms “information” or “personal information” in this Privacy Policy, we
refer to data about the private affairs of an identified or reasonably identifiable individual, which is protected
by the Law. This Privacy Policy does not apply to data that does not pertain to the private affairs of an identified
individual (e.g., aggregate data) or to corporations.
This Privacy Policy applies to users (as context dictates) and does not apply to the
Company’s employees, job applicants, or suppliers.
This Privacy Policy supplements specific provisions provided to you, for example, on
websites, specific consents you have agreed to, and similar contexts.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as needed. The updated Privacy Policy
document will take effect upon its publication on the GigaNet 972.
You are not legally obligated to provide us with information, but if you refuse to do so, we
may not be able to provide you with services.

other means by which you choose to provide us with information.
Information collected automatically – When you register for or use services and
equipment, including the GigaNet website and applications, information about you is automatically
collected by GigaNet’s systems and those of third parties involved in providing the services.
Additionally, customer service calls are automatically recorded, and service centers are secured with
surveillance cameras.
Information received from third parties – GigaNet receives information about you
from third parties, such as state authorities, other communication companies, subcontractors, outsourcing
providers, surveyors, marketing consultants, any legal source permitting the transfer of information, legal

Subject to your privacy settings, GigaNet may receive information you have uploaded or that has been
uploaded about you to the internet and/or social networks, as well as information from social network
operators where you have an account. We may process the information stored in our databases and
cross-reference it with information received from third parties.
GigaNet will retain the information for as long as necessary to fulfill the
purposes of its use as detailed in this Privacy Policy, or for a period required by law, or as needed to
protect GigaNet’s rights and legitimate interests, whichever is longer. To ensure that personal

contractual rights. We may act at our discretion and in accordance with the law based on monitoring findings (e.g.,
blocking traffic, rerouting, etc.). It is clarified that monitoring measures cannot guarantee certainty regarding
their findings or operation, and GigaNet will not be liable in cases where an action is or is not taken due to
these monitoring measures.
5. Transfer of Information to Subcontractors, Authorities, Other Communication Companies,
and Additional Parties
We may transfer information about you or parts thereof within GigaNet entities, to
related corporations, and to third parties (in Israel and abroad) to fulfill purposes permitted to us by law, with
your authorization, or as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
We undertake to take the necessary measures to ensure that third parties receiving
information are obligated to protect it as required based on the type of information transferred and the purpose of
the transfer.
Information will be transferred to entities such as the following:
1. Subcontractors, Suppliers, and Communication Companies, such as:
To communication companies or other service providers for the purpose of service
provision, billing, and collection.
To third parties acting as suppliers to GigaNet and/or collaborating with it,
providing GigaNet with various services that involve access to and/or processing of personal information
that GigaNet is permitted to handle itself, such as invoice issuance, debt collection, data processing,

To external suppliers with whom GigaNet collaborates for statistical and research
purposes, including advanced data analysis tools, and suppliers who assist GigaNet in converting
information into statistical and aggregate form for use by GigaNet and third parties.

To a person or entity you have authorized to receive information about you.
2. Mergers, Business Transfers, and Assignment of Rights:
Subject to legal provisions, GigaNet may transfer all information it holds about
you to a third party as part of transferring or assigning its business (in whole or in part) to that third
party, or as part of reorganization, full or partial transfer of operations, merger, joint ventures, or
other transactions related to GigaNet’s business (including during negotiations for such transactions),
and for the continued provision of services, customer service, sales, collection, etc., by the third party.
In such cases, the third party receiving the information will be subject to the same restrictions on its use
as apply to GigaNet, as detailed in this Privacy Policy.
We may transfer information about you in any case where GigaNet is permitted by
law to assign its obligations or rights to another party.
3. Law Enforcement Authorities, Legal Proceedings, Judicial Orders, and Legal
Authority, including:
GigaNet will transfer information about you to state authorities or any other
person or entity when the transfer is required or authorized by law, pursuant to an order from a competent
authority, or based on appropriate judicial orders and decisions (including in response to orders from
foreign authorities and courts), and as part of transferring information to credit data companies.
GigaNet will transfer information about you to third parties to protect its legitimate
interests (e.g., in the context of legal proceedings or dispute resolution processes in which GigaNet is a
party).
4. Other Communication Networks, Websites, and Emergency Centers, such as:
Websites, applications, and communication networks through which your communication
passes will be able to identify your internet address (IP).
If required or permitted by law, or if GigaNet believes in good faith that it is
an emergency and necessary to protect you or others, information about you (including contact details and
your location, if known to GigaNet) will be provided to the appropriate entities (e.g., Israel Police).
The above does not detract from our right to transfer anonymous and/or aggregate data and/or
data that does not reasonably identify a specific individual to third parties. GigaNet may anonymize personal
information for research, statistical, and analytical purposes for the benefit of GigaNet or third parties.
Please note that since the services involve direct engagement between you and a third party,
the transfer of information by you to a third party is subject to the terms of engagement with that third party.
This policy does not apply to the collection of information by the third party, and GigaNet bears no
responsibility for it.
Therefore, whenever terms of use or a third party’s policy are brought to your attention,
and whenever you are asked to agree to such terms (e.g., when downloading an application or installing software), we
recommend reviewing them carefully, particularly the terms related to the third party’s privacy policy, the
information it is exposed to, and the uses made of it. For example, since your engagement is with internet access
providers, the terms applicable to you are also governed by their terms of use and privacy policies, which regulate
your usage, and the transfer of information is done directly by you, with no responsibility on the part of Future.
6. Personal Information About Others
Whenever you allow another person (e.g., an employee or family member) to use the products
and/or services we provide, you must inform them that you may be exposed to information about them and their usage.
In addition, in such cases, and whenever you provide us with information about other
individuals, you must ensure that the information is provided with their consent. You must also inform them in
advance, before they begin using the services or before providing information about them, of the contents of this
Privacy Policy, including the collection and use of information about them.
If you provide GigaNet with any preference (see below) or consent to the use of
information that actually pertains to a third party, including a user of the services, you must ensure in advance
that they consent to it.
If you use services registered under someone else’s name, you should be aware that this
Privacy Policy also applies to information accumulated by GigaNet about you and that information about you may be
disclosed to the registered customer.
7. Advertisements, Direct Mail, and Contact Methods
We may contact you through various means and channels,
including based on the identifying details you provided us, such as contact methods. Our communications may include
offers and various promotional messages from us and/or suppliers or third parties, including direct mail
(personalized mail based on your personal characteristics). We may also contact you with various service-related
messages and notifications we are required to send by law, licenses, and/or regulatory guidelines.
Such communication may be conducted via any means GigaNet deems appropriate, including
mail, email, landline phone, mobile phone, automated dialers, SMS, multimedia messages, electronic messages, fax,
social networks, and other means.
You may contact our customer service to set your preferences, which will limit some of the
communications directed to you. For information on how to choose your preferences, see Section 13 below.
Please note that the preferences available to you apply only to certain types of
communications and channels. For example:
We may send you notifications we are required to send by law, license, and/or
regulatory guidelines, or any other message we are permitted by law to send despite your preferences.
We may send you advertisements through channels for which you are not entitled by
law to refuse, such as via postal mail.
Use of Cookies and Automatic Data Collection Technologies on Websites
To provide you with faster and more efficient service, identify you upon re-entering the
website and/or applications, and save you from repeatedly entering personal details you previously provided, New
Future uses a technology called “Cookies,” which are unique internal markers stored in the end user’s browser, as
well as other technologies (e.g., Web Beacons, Pixels, SDK, etc.) (hereinafter: “Automatic Collection
Technologies”). These technologies are not computer software and cannot read other information or perform actions on
your computer or mobile phone. Some automatic collection technologies expire when you close your browser, while
others are stored on your device or computer.
Automatic Collection Technologies enable GigaNet to monitor your activity on the website
and applications, enhance your browsing and service experience, and improve information security. Additionally,
these technologies assist GigaNet in optimizing marketing activities on the website and/or applications. For
example, they allow Future to collect and characterize various data about users and their usage of online services,
actions performed, usage preferences, advertisements you were exposed to, tailoring services and products to your
personal preferences or needs, targeting advertisements and marketing content based on the collected and processed
information, and cross-referencing this data with other uses of online services and platforms provided by or through
GigaNet.
To this end, Automatic Collection Technologies collect and transmit information, including
about your activities on websites and applications, as well as information about the computer (or smartphone) from
which you browse. This information includes, among other things, operating system version, browser type, IP address,
time spent on the site or a specific page, location, and more.
GigaNet uses several Automatic Collection Technologies:
For more information on how data is collected and used, you are welcome to review examples
at: http://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en, http://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies, http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html
This list is not exhaustive, and GigaNet uses additional data collection technologies as
noted.
GigaNet may allow companies and third parties to use the website and/or applications to
advertise their services (hereinafter: “Advertising Companies”). The publication of content by Advertising Companies
may involve the use of Automatic Collection Technologies. The use of these technologies by Advertising Companies is
subject solely to their privacy policies, not GigaNet’s.
Additionally, GigaNet may choose to advertise information about itself on various
websites and applications you visit, using Automatic Collection Technologies for personalized advertising.
While using these sites, information may be collected, and GigaNet may use it to tailor
the promotional content displayed to you based on your interests. GigaNet is not responsible for the operation of
other websites you browse or the content offered therein. These are entirely independent sites, and you should
review the privacy policy documents of each such site.
If you do not wish to allow us to collect information about you using Automatic Collection
Technologies, you can prevent this by adjusting your browser and/or end-device settings. You can also delete these
technologies from your computer at any time. However, disabling Automatic Collection Technologies may prevent you
from using some services and features on the website, applications, and/or other websites. Changing browser or
computer settings is your sole responsibility.
Security Measures, Information, and Encryption
GigaNet employs appropriate security measures for the information it holds, in accordance
with all privacy protection laws and confidentiality requirements, and to prevent unauthorized access to the
information. GigaNet uses administrative, physical, and technical tools collectively designed to protect the
information stored in its systems and periodically assesses the system’s resilience.
Despite the above, there remains a risk of breaches into data repositories. As long as New
Future takes reasonable security measures, it will not be liable for damages caused by unauthorized breaches or the
transfer of information to a third party due to such breaches.
Effective security also depends on you. Therefore, we recommend taking various steps to
protect your personal information. It should be emphasized that the following are partial recommendations only and
are not intended to be exhaustive regarding the protection of personal information:
Protecting Login Details – In cases where we provided you with, or
you defined, a username and password enabling access to private information about you (e.g., accessing a
personal area on the website or application), you must safeguard these details, refrain from sharing them
with others, and periodically change your password. You are responsible for the use made of your username
and password, even in cases of unauthorized use by others without your consent (including if such details
are used with GigaNet).
Various entities may attempt to fraudulently obtain your identification details, for
example, by sending you a fake email mimicking GigaNet’s trademarks and design or through a counterfeit
website that closely imitates GigaNet’s official site. This way, these entities unlawfully attempt to
gain your identification data to access your accounts.
You should pay particular attention to unsolicited messages not personally tailored
to you, those containing spelling or grammatical errors, or unexpected communications. If a message contains
links, it is advisable to hover your mouse over the link. In many cases, although the link may appear to
direct to the official site, hovering over it will reveal a different address, sometimes similar to the
original (to mislead you). In any case of doubt, access GigaNet’s official site by manually typing the
full address into your browser (or searching via a search engine) rather than clicking a link sent to you
via email.
Updating Residential and Email Addresses – If the residential
address and/or email address known to GigaNet are outdated, mailings containing personal information will
be sent to an outdated address. You should update GigaNet regarding any changes to your residential
address and/or email address.
Protecting End-User Equipment (e.g., Router) – End-user equipment
infected with malicious software may allow others to access and potentially transmit personal information.
We recommend taking additional security measures, such as utilizing the security features of your device’s
operating system, using security software (firewall, antivirus, etc.), installing available operating system
updates, exercising caution on the internet (e.g., downloading content only from reliable sources), and
using social networks prudently (e.g., avoiding the exposure of personal details on social networks). The
security measures employed otpby GigaNet are primarily designed to protect GigaNet’s systems.
To provide services, you may be required to provide identification details, such as
payment method information you provided to us. If you are concerned about potential misuse of your
identification details or to prevent fraud, you may request a dedicated identification code. You should
immediately contact GigaNet’s customer service if you suspect that your identification details or
information about you have fallen into unauthorized hands.
8. Use of Advanced Data Processing Systems for GigaNet’s Needs and Third Parties’ Needs
As part of its ongoing operations, GigaNet receives information about you as described in
this Privacy Policy. Advanced data analysis tools enable the processing and analysis of this information. GigaNet
will collect, use, and process the information it holds, including information gathered from or due to users’
activities within the services (e.g., location data or browsing data). This analysis will be conducted by GigaNet
itself or through subcontractors or other third parties, after GigaNet implements appropriate information
security measures. This information will be used for GigaNet’s activities as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Additionally, GigaNet may use the information for third parties and their needs. Using
data for third parties’ purposes can provide significant public and personal benefits. For example, browsing data
can yield insights that enable planning and tailoring promotional content to the characteristics of those exposed to
it, identifying the spread of epidemics, and more.
Before transferring data derived from advanced data analysis tools to third parties, New
Future will implement privacy protection measures to reasonably prevent the identification of specific individuals,
such as converting the data into statistical and aggregate form.
In this context, a “third party” refers to an entity receiving data for its own purposes,
such as local authorities, government entities, government companies, or private commercial entities (for this
purpose, a contractor or service provider to GigaNet or an entity receiving data for purposes related to services
provided by GigaNet is considered to be receiving the data for GigaNet’s needs, not its own).
Specific consents you have provided, which allow additional and/or identifiable uses of data
about you, will override this section in case of any contradiction.
The generation of insights using location data for third parties and their needs is
performed by us in accordance with specific regulations: the transfer of such data will be conducted with
appropriate information security measures to maintain the anonymity of users on the GigaNet network, under the
supervision of a special expert committee on information security and privacy (e.g., transferring only aggregate
data that does not reasonably allow identification of the customer). For more information, please refer to New
Future’s website.
If, despite the protective measures detailed above, you prefer that GigaNet not use
information about you for processing and generating insights for third parties’ purposes, you may notify us as
detailed in Section 13 below.
9. GigaNet’s Privacy Policy Does Not Apply to Linked Sites
(Links)
GigaNet’s website includes links to other websites. GigaNet is not responsible for the
privacy policies or information security of these sites. The policy outlined in this document applies solely to New
Future’s services, unless a different policy is specified for a particular service.
10. Your Rights, Control Options, and Preferences Regarding
the Use of Information About You
Israeli law grants you certain rights regarding the management of personal information, and
GigaNet, respecting your privacy, enables you to exercise them. To this end, we have established a team
responsible for handling privacy protection matters. You may contact this team via email at:
info@con972.cloudareus.com.
It is important for you to know that rights concerning personal information are generally
relative. Any request you submit to us will be reviewed in accordance with relevant laws, and we will inform you of
the results of this review and act accordingly.
Direct Mail and Advertisements – You may request to be removed from direct mail
(mailings based on specific personal characteristics, as per the law) through all mailing channels. To do
so, you may contact our customer service. Please ensure to include the necessary identification details in
your request.
You may request that we not send you advertisements (as defined in Section 30A of the
Communications Law (Telecommunications and Broadcasting), 5742-1982) via electronic messages, SMS, fax, or recorded
phone messages. To do so, you may contact our customer service. Please ensure to include your identification
details, the phone number or email address in question, and the list from which you request removal. You may also
opt out using the removal method specified in each advertisement sent by us. In such cases, the removal applies to
that specific channel.
Cookies and Third-Party Advertising Networks – You can prevent the receipt of
cookies through options offered by browsers or certain operating systems. Changing these settings is your
responsibility (note that some services may not be available or may require re-entering login details).
Additionally, third-party services such as Google Analytics and Facebook offer further
control options through user settings on their websites.
Right to Access and Correct Information – You are entitled to review the information
(as defined in Section 7 of the Protection of Privacy Law) we hold about you. If the information we hold
about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or incorrect, you may request that we correct it. To do so, please
contact us via one of the following methods: phone call to 6702*, email to info@giganet.net.il, or registered
mail to Haela 1 , Harish
The right to access is subject to legal provisions and the rights of others besides you
(e.g., if granting access could infringe on a third party’s privacy, such as a user requesting access without the
registered user’s approval). Future may decline to fulfill your request to access information about you (in whole or
in part) or fulfill it in a limited manner.
Use of Information for Processing and Generating Insights for Third Parties –
Although GigaNet undertakes to implement appropriate safety measures to protect your privacy and
anonymity, you have the right to notify GigaNet that you do not wish future use to be made of information
about you for processing and generating insights for third parties’ needs, as detailed in Section 11 of this
document. You may submit this notification (including your name, residential address, ID number, and phone
line number) via one of the following methods: phone call to 6702*, email to info@giganet.net.il, or registered mail to 11
Haela 1 , Harish
11. Use Abroad is Also Subject to Other Countries’ Privacy Laws
The laws of other countries may apply to you when browsing the
internet (e.g., when accessing a website located abroad). Generally, GigaNet’s systems are located in Israel and
managed in accordance with Israeli privacy laws. However, GigaNet relies on various suppliers located abroad to
provide services. If information about users is transferred outside Israel’s borders, GigaNet will export the
information in accordance with Israeli law. Under Israeli law, information may be exported abroad when appropriate
security measures are in place or when the export ensures adequate legal protection. In such cases, the information
may also be subject to the laws of the country where it is stored and processed.
12. Notices Regarding Changes
GigaNet reserves the right to amend this
Privacy Policy as needed or in response to changes in the law or regulatory guidelines under which we operate. The
updated document detailing our privacy and security policy will be available on our website at all times. You should
take note of these changes, as they will apply to you.
