We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as required by the CCPA/CPRA. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals as there is no uniform standard for their interpretation.
We use third-party tools to support security and analytics, including Google reCAPTCHA, PostHog, Mixpanel, HubSpot, and Lucky Orange. These tools help us protect our websites from fraud and automated abuse, and to understand how users interact with our services.

You may review your information through your account page or contact us at support@covercy.com. If requested, we will update or restrict your information, provided you provide such further evidence we may reasonably require. Please note that requesting deletion of your Personal Information may mean we are unable to continue providing our services to you.
We are required by law to retain certain records for a minimum of five years after our relationship ends (or longer, where applicable legislation requires).
10 Security
The security of your Personal Information is important to us. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it. You can learn more about these measures on our Trust Centre: https://trust.covercy.com/.
In the event of a data breach likely to affect your rights, we will notify the relevant authority within 72 hours (GDPR Art. 33) and inform affected individuals as required. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact support@covercy.com immediately.
The security of your account also depends on you keeping your password confidential and not sharing it with anyone. It is your responsibility to control access to your device and account and to alert us if you believe security has been compromised.
11 Transfers of Information Outside Your Jurisdiction
We may transfer your personal information to, access it from, or process it in countries other than the country where you are located, including within our group companies in Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Where these transfers involve personal information subject to the GDPR, UK GDPR, or other applicable laws governing cross-border transfers, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms as required by applicable law. Depending on the circumstances, these may include:
- an adequacy decision or adequacy regulations, where the destination country has been recognised as providing an adequate level of protection;
- the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / UK Addendum;
- the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where applicable.
Where required, we also apply supplementary technical, contractual, and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information transferred across borders.
Because privacy laws in some countries may not provide the same level of protection as those in your home jurisdiction, we take steps to ensure that transferred personal information remains protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
12 Data Retention
We retain personal data for at least 7 years, unless otherwise explicitly mentioned in this Privacy and Cookie Policy. When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
13 Links to Other Sites and Third-Party Services
Our websites and platforms may contain links to other websites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and recommend you review their privacy policies before providing Personal Information.
Certain Covercy services are provided in partnership with third party financial institutions. Where applicable, their privacy policies also govern the capture and use of your Personal Information in connection with those services.

Our services are not directed at individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect information or data from or for children. If you believe a child has provided us with Personal Information, contact support@covercy.com.
15 Legal Disclaimer
We are not responsible for events beyond our direct control. While we implement extensive security measures, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee error-free performance regarding the privacy of your Personal Information.
This Notice is governed by the laws applicable to the relevant Covercy entity: Israeli law for Covercy Ltd and Covercy Technological Trading Ltd, English the law for Covercy Europe Ltd, and the US federal and State of Delaware law for Covercy Inc.
