Ask Moshe
Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Ask Moshe (company in formation) ("Ask Moshe") is a company providing a service in Israel that connects customers with professionals (the "Service"). This policy explains what information we collect, why, and what your rights are under Israel's Protection of Privacy Law 5741-1981 (the "Law"). Information is collected with your consent and/or pursuant to a legal obligation applicable to us, and is required for the provision of the Service. Providing information is not a legal obligation, but without it we will not be able to provide the Service. Ask Moshe uses the Meta WhatsApp Business Platform to manage messages. Unlike regular WhatsApp conversations between private individuals, Meta sees the content of messages and processes them according to its own terms of service and privacy policy, separately from and in addition to Ask Moshe's processing of information. Ask Moshe is not responsible for Meta's handling of information, and we recommend reviewing the WhatsApp Business privacy policy and terms of service, available at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-policy, before contacting the Service. The Service is not intended for minors without the required legal consent. If we learn that a minor's information was provided without proper consent, we will investigate and delete it.
Definitions
"User" — anyone who uses the Service, including customers and professionals.
"Customer" — a person who contacts the Service to receive a referral to a professional.
"Professional" — a professional registered with the Service and offered to customers.
What information we collect and for what purposes
From customers: all of the following comes from the content of the WhatsApp conversation: name — for personal communication and to pass on to the professional; phone number — transferred automatically from WhatsApp, used for communication and to pass on to the professional; address / service location — to coordinate a professional in your area and for performing the work; description of the request — to match the right professional. When you send a message to Ask Moshe via WhatsApp, the content of the message and our conversation are viewed by us and stored in our systems so that we can handle your request and provide the Service. If you do not want a particular detail to be transferred and/or stored by us, do not include it in your message.
From professionals: name, business name, phone number, business description, years of experience, service cities, service category, and sub-services. We use this information to verify account access, review and create the professional profile, match service requests, and contact the professional about the Service. This information is collected with explicit prior consent during registration.
We do not collect payment details, medical information, financial information, real-time location data, or other sensitive information as defined by Law. For information collected automatically, see "Cookies" below.
Data retention and deletion
Information collected from users is retained as long as it is needed to handle the request and for a reasonable period thereafter, as required for the provision of the Service, to fulfill our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements, and no longer. You may request deletion of information at any time. Some data may be retained even after a request if there is a legal obligation to do so.
Data security
We implement appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure of personal information. However, as with any digital service, there is a risk that personal information may be exposed due to a security breach, malfunction, or human error. We take reasonable measures to prevent such incidents and will notify affected individuals and the authorities in the event of a breach, as required by law.
Your rights
Under the Law, users have the right to access personal information collected about them through the Service, and to request that we correct such information in certain circumstances. Before processing a request, we will verify your identity and will ask for sufficient details to locate the relevant records: WhatsApp number in international format, email, account role, and request details. If the request is to delete information required for the continued provision of the Service, we may need to discontinue the Service.
