Right to Review Personal Data: Under the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, individuals are entitled to request to review personal data related to them. If such data is being held by a third party, for example, a vendor, the entity must refer the data subject to the third party and instruct the third party to provide the data subject with the requested data.
Right to Correct Personal Data: If, upon reviewing the personal data concerning the data subject, it is found to be incorrect, incomplete, unclear, or outdated, the data subject may request to correct or delete such data. If the company corrects or deletes the data, the company must notify any third party holding such data that it must be corrected or deleted in the third party’s records and databases as well.
Right to Delete Personal Data: Under the Privacy Protection Regulations (Instructions for Data that was Transferred to Israel from the European Economic Area), 5783-2023, individuals have the right to delete personal data related to them if it is transferred to the data controller from the European Economic Area (EEA) by a source other than them.
As of 1 January 2025, individuals have the right to delete personal data related to them, if it is held in the same database with the data transferred to the data controller from the European Economic Area (EEA).
Right to Data Portability: There is no general right to data portability of personal data under the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981. However, specific laws created portability rights in certain contexts: the Financial Information Services Law, 5781-2021 establishes data portability for financial data as part of the open banking framework; the Medical Data Portability Law, 5784-2024, allows individuals to consent to the transfer of their medical information between health organizations of their choice; and, the Electricity Authority’s Decision No. 61610 provides data portability rights for electricity services data management.
