Privacy Policy

Last updated: 16/08/2026

Dr. Jean-Marc Dufour-Dror – Research and Consultant in Applied Ecology, Invasive Alien Plant Expert ("the Business," "we," "us," or "our") is the owner and operator of this website (the "Site"), located at jmdd.co.il.

This Privacy Policy explains how the Business collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to the Site. The Site is built and hosted on the Wix platform, and we rely on Wix's infrastructure to operate it. Wix has its own privacy practices, which may change over time; this Privacy Policy addresses how the Business itself handles your information, separately from Wix's own policies.

This Site does not process payments, sell products, or require user accounts. It is used to present professional work, expertise, and client history, and to allow visitors to contact us via a contact form.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can reach us through the Contact page on this Site.

What Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

a) Information you provide directly: When you use the contact form on this Site, we collect the information you enter, which may include:

  • Your name

  • Your email address

  • The content of your message

  • Your company name

  • Any message title and content

b) Information collected automatically: Like most websites built on Wix, this Site automatically collects certain technical information when you visit, including:

  • IP address

  • Browser type and device information

  • Pages visited and time spent on the Site

  • Referring website (how you arrived at the Site)

This automatic data is collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies provided by Wix. For details on Wix's own data practices, see Wix's Privacy Policy (link: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy)  and the Site's cookie banner, where you can manage your cookie preferences.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected by Wix's tools, along with any messages you send us through the contact form, only for the following purposes:

  • To respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form

  • To understand how visitors use the Site, in order to improve its content and performance

  • To maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site

We do not use your information for advertising, do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties, and do not use it for any purpose beyond what is described in this policy.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal bases for processing your personal information are:

  • Consent — when you voluntarily submit the contact form

  • Legitimate interest — for basic Site analytics and security, where this does not override your privacy rights

You may withdraw consent at any time via the Contact page on this Site.

Cookies

This Site uses cookies, provided through the Wix platform, for functionality, analytics, and (if applicable) marketing purposes. You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time via the cookie consent banner on the Site.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. This Site uses only Wix's default platform features (hosting, contact form, and built-in analytics) — no additional third-party tools, such as Google Analytics or advertising pixels, are installed. Your data may be processed by:

  • Wix.com Ltd., our website hosting and platform provider, which processes data on our behalf to operate the Site (including the contact form and analytics)

Wix's own data practices are governed separately by Wix's Privacy Policy ((link: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy)). Under some privacy laws, certain data sharing by Wix with its own partners may be categorized as a "sale" of information, even though Wix states it does not sell data in the traditional sense. We do not have the ability to alter or opt out of Wix's platform-level practices on your behalf; visitors can review Wix's policy directly for details and their own opt-out options.

We do not use any payment processors, as this Site does not sell products or services online.

International Data Transfers

Because this Site is hosted on Wix, your data may be stored or processed in data centers located outside your country of residence, including in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, and Israel. Wix has committed to maintaining safeguards for international data transfers in line with GDPR requirements. Israel is recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection for personal data transferred from the EU.

Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping purposes, unless a longer retention period is required by law. You may request earlier deletion at any time (see the next section).

Your Rights

If you are in the European Economic Area (GDPR): You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Request correction of inaccurate data

  • Request deletion of your data

  • Restrict or object to processing

  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

  • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

If you are in Israel (Protection of Privacy Law, 1981, as amended): You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you

  • Request correction or deletion of inaccurate information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page on this Site. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

If you request a copy of your personal information, it will be retrieved using the Wix platform's data tools, including the consent log maintained in our Wix dashboard. Please note that fulfilling this type of request may take some time, as it requires manually extracting the relevant data from the platform.

Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16.

Data Security

We rely on Wix's platform-level security measures (including encryption in transit) to protect the information collected through this Site. While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
