GDPR & Israeli Privacy Law – Key Differences

Categories: IP

Due to recent changes in global privacy and data protection laws, certain entities may be subject to both Israeli data protection laws and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). There exist substantial differences between GDPR compliance and Israeli law, and certain key obligations under Israeli law exceed GDPR requirements. Companies that adopt a comprehensive GDPR compliance programme may result in partial compliance with Israeli data protection laws, but additional actions must be taken in order to be fully compliant.
