We will transfer your personal information using suitable and appropriate safeguards, and utilize a variety of legal mechanisms, including contracts, to ensure that your rights and protections are transferred with your data.

We may also transfer your information, including personal information, in the case of a corporate merger, consolidation, sale of related assets or corporate division, or other material changes to SEL.IL. Furthermore, information about you may also be shared to comply with any legitimate obligation, investigation, or legal process, such as a search warrant, subpoena, law, or court order. We will also provide certain information in special cases, such as if you use this website to commit an unlawful act or omission or commit any act or omission that may damage SEL.IL, its property, and its reputation, or if there is an attempt to compromise the security of this website or pose a physical or proprietary threat to you or others.
