SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Organizations handling personal data of Israeli residents must navigate the Privacy Protection Law 1981, the 2017 Security Regulations, and Amendment 13 (effective August 14, 2025), but the tiered security levels, registration rules, and breach notification duties are easy to misapply or confuse with GDPR. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Security Level Assessment: Classifies a database as basic, medium, or high based on record count, data sensitivity, and sector, then lists the required controls for that tier. - Compliance Checklist Generation: The bundled compliance_checker.py script runs an interactive or JSON-driven assessment covering database registration, consent, cross-border transfers, and breach response. - Amendment 13 Guidance: Covers the expanded definition of personal data (IP addresses, geolocation, online identifiers), mandatory Privacy Protection Officer appointment, AI governance for automated decisions, and fines up to ~NIS 3.2 million. - Use Case: A SaaS startup with Israeli customers asks what privacy obligations apply; the skill walks through security level, registration need, consent mechanisms, and cross-border transfer safeguards, and contrasts them with GDPR. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to assess your organization's compliance with the Israeli Privacy Protection Law, providing your record count, data sensitivity, and whether you transfer data abroad.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check compliance with the Israeli Privacy Protection Law?

Run the bundled compliance_checker.py script interactively or with a JSON payload describing record count, data sensitivity, and sector. It determines the required security level, whether database registration is needed, and generates a full compliance checklist.

What is Amendment 13 to the Israeli privacy law?

Amendment 13 took effect on August 14, 2025 and expands the definition of personal data to include IP addresses, geolocation, and online identifiers. It mandates Privacy Protection Officers for certain entities, adds AI governance duties, and allows fines up to roughly NIS 3.2 million.

How does Israeli privacy law differ from GDPR?

Israeli law relies primarily on consent rather than six legal bases, requires breach notification "without delay" instead of within 72 hours, and still requires database registration for public bodies and data brokers. GDPR imposes higher fines and a broader right to erasure.

When is database registration required in Israel?

After Amendment 13, registration with the Privacy Protection Authority is required only for public bodies and for databases of 10,000 or more individuals whose primary purpose is transferring data to others, such as data brokers.

Can I transfer personal data from Israel to other countries?

Transfers are allowed if the destination country has adequate protection, such as the EU or UK, or if you use contractual safeguards, informed consent, or a listed exemption. Israel holds an EU adequacy decision, so transfers to the EU are generally straightforward.

Does this skill replace legal advice for privacy compliance?

No. The skill explicitly provides compliance guidance only and recommends consulting a licensed privacy attorney for specific decisions. It is a structured reference and assessment aid, not legal counsel.
