This website (lielwainberg.com) is operated and controlled by Liel Wainberg, an independent software developer and consultant based in Migdal HaEmek, Israel. The website presents a professional portfolio across software engineering and AI systems (TarraCoata), canine behavioral consulting (CANINE.BEHAVIOR), and private mixology/hospitality (LW.Liquid).

02Types of Data Collected

This website collects only limited personal information that is directly necessary to handle visitor inquiries, alongside technical network data generated by standard web browsing:

• Contact Form Submissions: Full name (required), contact detail — email address or phone number (required), selected practice area (software, canine, hospitality, general), optional message text, and consent acknowledgment.
• Technical Server Logs: IP address (processed at the network edge for security routing and DDoS prevention), browser User-Agent, requested URL, timestamp, and technical request identifiers.
• Client-Side User Preferences: Selected interface language (Hebrew/English), palette/theme choices, color inversion, accessibility settings, and motion toggle. These choices are stored locally on your device only.

Personal information provided through the website is processed exclusively for the following specified, legitimate purposes:

• Receiving, reviewing, and responding to your direct inquiry.
• Coordinating and providing requested professional services if an engagement proceeds.

WhatsApp Notice: When clicking a WhatsApp link on this site, you are transferred to the WhatsApp application operated by Meta Platforms Inc. under its terms of service and privacy policy. This website does not record, intercept, or store WhatsApp conversations.

06Cookies & Local Storage

This website adheres to data minimization principles and does not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party behavioral profiling tools. Storage technologies are strictly functional and necessary for site performance:

07International Data Transfers

Because cloud infrastructure providers (such as Cloudflare and Supabase) operate data centers located in the European Union and the United States, submitted inquiry data may be transferred and stored outside the State of Israel. This transfer complies with Israeli data protection regulations, relying on your explicit informed consent upon submission and providers that adhere to rigorous international security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR).

08Data Retention & Deletion Policy

Inquiry data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was submitted — specifically to evaluate, answer, and manage the professional relationship. Inquiries that do not lead to an active engagement are reviewed and purged within 24 months, unless retention is legally required. Furthermore, any individual may request prompt deletion of their information at any time, as described in Section 10 below.

09Data Security Measures

In accordance with Israeli Privacy Protection Regulations (Data Security), 2017, the website implements robust technological and organizational security measures:

• In-Transit Encryption: All network traffic is encrypted using modern TLS 1.3 / HTTPS.
• Access Control & Secret Isolation: Database access is restricted exclusively to Liel Wainberg via authenticated credentials and multi-factor authentication.
• Anti-Spam & Rate Limiting: Forms utilize honeypot detection and rate limiting to prevent automated abuse and malicious flooding.
