Israel’s Privacy Protection Regulations establish a comprehensive legal framework governing the processing of personal data within Israel. These regulations align with global privacy trends while maintaining specific local requirements. Recent amendments to the Israeli Privacy Protection Law (PPL) have brought the regulatory approach closer to GDPR standards, strengthening accountability, security, and data subject rights.
The regulations require organizations acting as data controllers to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, conduct structured risk assessments, and ensure that personal data is processed lawfully and in accordance with recognized privacy principles. Compliance obligations extend across governance, operational controls, and documentation practices.
Organizations subject to Israeli privacy regulations must demonstrate ongoing oversight of data processing activities and maintain formal compliance structures to meet regulatory expectations and supervisory requirements.
