Since WizSoft is headquartered in Israel (secure third party country according to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation -GDPR- with a suitable level of protection in a decision of appropriateness), WizSoft may need to send your personal information to our business partner in your home country. In order to provide adequate protection for the transfer of your personal information, we rely on various security measures, and the need to process your personal information in order to provide the requested products or services, as the bases for transferring your personal information.

By using cookies, the information you previously provided can be retrieved on your next visit to our website(s) so that your use of the website is more efficient.

Managing Cookie Preferences
Many web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, and only you can manage your browser settings. The Help portion of your web browser, which is most often found on your browser’s toolbar, typically tells you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie and how to disable cookies altogether.
Do Not Track
Certain browsers like Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Safari offer a “Do Not Track” or “DNT” option that sends a signal to websites visited by the user about the user’s browser DNT preference setting. Because uniform standards for “Do Not Track” have not been established, WizSoft does not process or respond to “Do Not Track” signals.
