Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how 2M Media, the owner and operator of the Rising Star website, collects, uses, and discloses information about website users, and for what purposes.

1. Who runs this site, and how to reach us

2M Media is the sole owner and operator of the Rising Star website and the competition-management service it presents. For any question about this policy or about how we handle your data, please contact us using the address, phone number, or email listed on our main site.

2. What information we collect

Information you give us: when you complete a contact form, a competition registration form, or a consultation request, we collect details such as:

Full name — of the participant, and of the contact person completing the registration (e.g. a parent or teacher)
Email address and phone number
Date of birth, used to place the participant in the correct age category
Any additional details required by the organizer of the specific competition (e.g. school name or supervising teacher)
The content of your message to us, in a contact or consultation form

Information collected automatically: while you use the site, we may automatically collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, and operating-system language, as well as anonymous usage statistics through cookies from third-party services such as Google Analytics.

3. Consent, and registering a minor

Using the site — and in particular submitting a registration form — constitutes your consent to the collection and processing of your information under this policy. If you register another person, and in particular a minor under the age of 18, you confirm that you are the parent, legal guardian, or an educational staff member acting on their behalf, and that you have obtained the express consent of the parent or guardian to share the minor's personal information for the purpose of registering and managing the competition.

4. How we use your information

To register participants for competitions and manage them, including publishing results
To respond to your inquiries and send service updates related to a competition (not marketing messages)
To maintain an internal database of participants and teachers for future competitions
To improve the site based on statistical analysis of its use
To comply with legal requirements, where applicable

5. Sharing information with third parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent personal information. We may share information only in the following cases:

With the organizer of the relevant competition, to the extent needed to register and manage that competition
With service providers such as Google Analytics, for statistical purposes; this may involve transferring data to servers outside Israel
Where required by law, court order, or a demand from a competent authority

6. Data security

The site is secured using HTTPS (SSL), and access to our databases is restricted and protected by passwords and two-factor authentication. That said, no system is completely secure, and we cannot fully guarantee that information will be immune to unauthorized access.

7. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above. As a rule, identifying information (other than the name, email, and phone number of the contact person who registered) is deleted from our active databases within one year of the relevant competition's conclusion, unless otherwise agreed with the competition organizer.

8. Your rights

Under Israel's Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, you — or the parent/guardian of a registered minor — are entitled to review the information we hold about you, and to request its correction or deletion, subject to legal limitations. To exercise this right, please contact us in writing (by email or registered mail) using the contact details in Section 1; we will process your request after verifying your identity.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We recommend checking this page periodically for changes.
