Expansion of Privacy Protection Regulations regarding data from the EEA

As of January 1, 2025, the Israeli Privacy Protection Regulations (Instructions for data being transferred to Israel from the European Economic Area) will also apply to data being stored or processed in Israel or in other countries, such as the US and the UK, if these databases also contain data transferred from Europe. In other words, this means that as soon as a database in Israel or another country also contains personal information transferred from Europe, all data in the database must comply with the regulations’ requirements – not just the data that came from Europe, but also the local data or data that came from other countries.
