The Basics
Who We Are
- Arbel AI Ltd. offers construction execution automated project and site analysis services through our web app and related services. Our offices are located at 35 Hen St. Even Yehuda, Israel, and our registration number is 517147062.
- If you have questions about our company or your privacy, or want to exercise your rights, you can contact us at hello@arbel.ai.
- Our Role: Controller and Processor. Certain data protection laws, including the laws in the EU and in Israel, differentiate between a party that determines why and how personal data is processed (called a "controller" or a “database controller”) and a party that processes personal data solely on the controller's behalf and according to the controller's instructions (called a "processor"). We are the controller/database controller in respect of the processing described in this Privacy Notice. That said, in respect of certain personal data, we serve as a processor. Please see the section below on Personal Data We Collect as a Processor for more information.

- When we refer to "services", we mean our construction execution automated project and site analysis services, including our web app, related PDF-based workflows, email-based workflows, and any related integrations, APIs, and mobile applications that we may make available from time to time.

Under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the possible legal bases include (but are not limited to): your consent; the processing is necessary to perform a contract with you; the processing is necessary to fulfill our legal obligations; or a company has a legitimate business interest to process your personal data.

Under Israeli law, the legal basis for processing is consent. You are not required under law to provide us with the Personal Data described in this Privacy Notice.
