Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to Shareitt! We believe in the power of sharing—skills, resources, and experiences. Our purpose is to create a community where true value comes from exchanging what we have and what we know. A place where people can co-create and build connections, reinforcing bonds and strengthening our social fabric. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to Haim Tov Ltd. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), the developer of Shareitt, a platform (the “App”) designed to facilitate the sharing and foster mutual support within a vibrant ecosystem (the “Services”).
We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the highest international standards, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the European Union, the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) for Brazil, the Privacy Protection Law (PPL) for Israel, and the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) for Switzerland. By using our App and Services, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you disagree, please refrain from using the App or Services.
