Privacy Policy

At IL Home Design ("we", "us", "our", "the Studio"), we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of our clients, design partners, and website visitors. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you interact with us — whether through our website, in-person meetings, or direct communication with our team, including Tony Karev and other design professionals.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Providing interior design, space planning, furniture curation, and styling services.
• Responding to your inquiries, scheduling consultations with Tony Karev or other designers.
• Managing client projects, mood boards, procurement, and installation logistics.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (Israeli & International Law)

We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds: your explicit consent, performance of a contract (e.g., design agreement), compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests in operating an interior design studio and delivering high-quality creative services.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share information with:

• Service Providers: IT hosting, CRM, project management tools, and cloud storage platforms.
• Professional Advisors: Legal counsel, accountants, and insurance providers.
• Vendors & Contractors: Furniture makers, fabric suppliers, and installers — only as necessary to fulfill your design project, under strict confidentiality.
• Regulatory & Law Enforcement: If required by Israeli law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety.

All third parties are contractually obligated to respect the security of your personal data and process it only on our instructions.

5. Data Security & Retention

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or as required by applicable Israeli regulations (e.g., tax records — typically up to 7 years). Project files may be kept for portfolio or reference purposes with client consent.

6. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including under the Israeli Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981, and the EU GDPR where applicable), you may have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten") under certain circumstances.
• Object to or restrict processing activities.
• Data portability (receive a copy of your data in a structured format).
• Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection contact using the details in section 8.

7. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses essential cookies to ensure proper functionality and security. We may also use analytical cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve user experience and understand traffic patterns. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. For more details, please contact us.

8. International Data Transfers

As a design studio serving clients locally and globally, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of Israel (e.g., if we use cloud services based in the EU or US). We ensure appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent protections, are in place to maintain data security and your rights.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external sites (e.g., portfolio inspirations, vendor websites). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are directed toward adults (18+) and business clients. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately for removal.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational needs. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the "last updated" date. We encourage you to review it periodically.
