1) HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

When you do business with us, you share personal information so that we can provide you with specific products and services. We may use and disclose this information to:

Communicate with you in a timely and efficient manner.
Process your application for investments, redemptions, transfers and other services with the State of Israel's Fiscal Agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada.
Send you marketing material about our products and services that we think may be of interest to you.
Act as required or authorized by law.

2) WHAT WE WILL NOT DO WITH YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not sell, rent or share your personal information to any unauthorized person, organization or company except as this information is required by law.

We do not use your personal information for any reason other than those for which you have given consent or as required by law.

3) MORE ON THE USE OF YOUR INFORMATION FOR MARKETING PURPOSES

We may use your information for the purposes of selectively including you in advertising and marketing campaigns designed to increase awareness about the products offered for sale by Israel Bonds.

Some of our advertising and marketing campaigns may include the sending out of newsletters, product offers, and related advertising vehicles.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal information for the purposes of marketing our products and services or related products and services. To do so, please advise our National Privacy Officer.
