1. Introduction
Israel Palestine 24 (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the website https://www.israelpalestine24.com/ (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit or interact with the Site, in compliance with:
- EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) & California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
- California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA)
- U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)
Because privacy laws evolve, we keep this Policy concise, readable, and regularly updated.
2. Information We Collect
| Category | Examples | How Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | First & last name, email address, phone number, postal address | Contact/donation forms, email correspondence |

| Approx. location | City/region inferred from IP | Google Analytics |
| User-generated content | Messages you enter in our forms or emails | Direct submission |

We do not intentionally collect “sensitive personal information” unless you explicitly provide it.
3. Purposes for Processing
- Responding to inquiries and support requests
- Operating, securing, and improving the Site
- Analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) and performance metrics
- Marketing (future email updates, limited to your contact preferences)
- Displaying contextual or personalised ads (Google AdSense, Meta, X/Twitter)
- Processing potential donations and maintaining transaction records
- Detecting, preventing, and addressing technical issues or abuse
4. Legal Bases (GDPR – Article 6)

- Contract – to reply to messages you send us.
- Legitimate interests – to keep our Site functional, secure, and relevant.
- Legal obligation – to comply with tax or law-enforcement requests, where applicable.
5. Sharing & Disclosure
We never sell your personal data for money. We may, however, “share” it (as CPRA defines) with:
- Service providers – hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processors, ad networks.
- Advertising partners – to serve or measure ads; all partners must honour opt-out signals.
- Legal & regulatory bodies – if required to comply with a law, court order, or defend legal rights.
Each third party is bound by contractual privacy and security obligations equal to or stricter than ours.
6. Cookies, Pixels & Tracking
We use first-party and third-party cookies, log files, and web beacons to:
- recognise returning visitors;
- analyse traffic via Google Analytics;
- deliver personalised adverts through Google AdSense, Meta Ads, and X/Twitter Ads.
You can refuse or delete cookies via browser settings or our banner’s “Cookie Preferences” link.
Do Not Track: The Site responds to DNT signals by disabling non-essential tracking for that session (CalOPPA).
7. Email Communications
If you contact us, we will reply using the details you provide. We do not send bulk marketing emails without your explicit consent. You may opt out at any time by replying “unsubscribe” or via any link provided.
8. Payments & Donations
Should we add a donation function, payments will be processed by trusted PCI-DSS-compliant providers (e.g., PayPal, Stripe). We do not store full credit-card numbers on our servers.
