Privacy Policy: Georgix
(English translation of the Hebrew text, which is the primary version. If they differ, the Hebrew prevails.)
1. Who we are
Georgix is a small business in Israel, owned by George Tchikviladze ("George"), an exempt dealer (osek patur) no. 317600815 ("Georgix", "we"). We sell smart signs (NFC) and counter stands to businesses. The store on the website has not opened yet, and the website is currently a "coming soon" page. The website does not currently accept orders or payments. When the store opens, we will publish an updated privacy policy.
Owner's details: George Tchikviladze, HaHagana 25, Ma'alot. Phone: 055-2524541.

This document explains what personal data we collect, why, what we do with it, who receives it, and how you can ask to inspect, correct or delete it. It applies to the website georgix.tech, to the redirect pages and personal pages at georgix.tech/r/, to Georgix's own Facebook Page and Instagram account, and to enquiries to us by email and WhatsApp.
2. What we collect
2.1 Visitors to georgix.tech
- The website is served as static files only. It has no scripts, no cookies, no analytics or statistics tool, and no advertising pixel or marketing tracking. A content security policy blocks loading of external resources. We will update this policy before we add any of these.
- The website has no forms.
- The website does not keep an access log of visitors. Our hosting provider (Hostinger, France) may keep technical logs under its own policy. Since Amendment 13, an IP address counts as personal data under the Israeli Privacy Protection Law.
2.2 Redirect pages and personal pages (georgix.tech/r/)
Redirect pages and personal pages are at georgix.tech/r/ followed by a 5-character code. They are static HTML and CSS files, with no scripts, no cookies and no analytics. They have no mechanism that counts scans or visits. This also applies to anyone who holds a phone to a business's smart sign and opens the page.
- The page automatically redirects to the business's Google review-writing window. It also has a visible "Write a review on Google" button, in case the automatic redirect did not open the window.
- From the moment of the redirect, Google's privacy policy applies. We do not receive the content of the review and do not know who wrote it.
- A business's personal page contains: the business name, logo, links, the business's Google identifier (Place ID) and the sign code. This information comes from the business. Phone numbers are not part of the page data.
- The page is open to anyone who scans the smart sign or receives the link, so everything on it is visible to everyone. If the logo, name or links identify a private individual, it is personal data.
- You can ask to change or remove the page at any time by writing to hello@georgix.tech.
2.3 Contacting us by email and WhatsApp
You can contact us by email at hello@georgix.tech (the mailbox is hosted at Hostinger Mail) and on WhatsApp at the business number 055-2524541. WhatsApp runs through a WhatsApp gateway on Georgix's server, and the messages are stored there. While we handle a WhatsApp enquiry, the messages are shown to an AI assistant (Claude from Anthropic, USA), so they are processed by it and kept in our working transcripts (section 7). We collect:
- name, phone and email;
- the content of the messages;
- the business details you provided.
There is no legal duty to give us this data. Whoever contacts us provides it voluntarily.
2.4 Messages and comments on Georgix's Facebook Page and Instagram account (Meta Platform Data)
Georgix publishes on its own Facebook Page and Instagram account, and manages the comments and messages received there, through the Meta app "Georgix Office". AI assistants help us publish and reply to comments and messages. Through Meta's Graph API, and subject to the permissions approved for the app "Georgix Office", the app can access only Georgix's own Facebook Page and Instagram account, and no other accounts. The Meta Platform Data we collect:
- Comments users wrote on our posts: the comment text, username or display name, the user identifier assigned by Meta, and the time of the comment.
- Private messages you sent to our Page or account: the message content, the sender identifier and profile details provided by Meta, and the time of the message.
- Our own posts and their performance figures (views, likes and comment counts).
- Georgix's own access tokens for the Page and account. They are kept in a file on George's computer, with restricted permissions, with no cache and no log.
What is stored and what is shown. Our tool stores identifiers and times of comments and messages, including the sender identifier at Meta, for 90 days, and then they are deleted. The text of the message and the sender's name are not stored in the tool. They are read from Meta while we handle them and shown to the AI assistant (Claude from Anthropic, USA), so they are processed by it and kept in our working transcripts, in accordance with Anthropic's retention policy (section 7).
We do not access your friends list, your private profile, or any other information you did not send or write to us. We do not buy or sell Meta data.
3. What we use it for
- Visitors to the website and pages: to run the website and the redirect pages, protect them from abuse, and understand faults.
- Personal page: to build, display and maintain the business's page.
- Enquiries by email and WhatsApp: to reply to enquirers and keep in touch.
- Meta data: to read messages and comments on our Page and account, prepare draft replies, publish posts, and reply to comments and messages. AI assistants help us publish and reply. Publishing and replies go out only with George's approval, or only where George has explicitly allowed it for a specific kind of reply. We do not use Meta data for advertising, profiling or sale, and not for training artificial intelligence models.
4. Basis we rely on (consent)
Consent: when you contact us voluntarily, write us a comment or message on a social network, or message us on WhatsApp or by email, you provide the data voluntarily, and there is no legal duty to provide it. Providing it is consent to its use for the purposes described here. You can withdraw consent at any time (section 9).
5. Who receives the data
We do not sell personal data and do not pass it on for others' marketing. We use the following providers, only as far as needed:
| Provider | Why | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger | Hosting of the website, the server and email | France (EU) |
| Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) | The platform through which messages and comments arrive and are sent | Per Meta's policy |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Drafting text and help with replies. The text of comments and messages and the senders' names are shown to it while we handle them | USA |
| Only after the redirect to the Google review-writing window | Per Google's policy | |
| GitHub | Storage of code and project documentation, in a private repository | USA |
Beyond that, we will disclose data if a law or court order requires it.
6. Transfer outside Israel
- France (EU): the website, the server and email. EU member states are on the list of permitted destinations under the Privacy Protection (Transfer of Data to Databases Abroad) Regulations.
- USA: AI processing at Anthropic (the text of comments and messages and the senders' names are shown to the assistant while we handle them), and storage of code and documentation at GitHub.
- Meta and Google operate globally under their own privacy policies.
7. How long we keep data
- Identifiers and times of comments and private messages from Meta, including the sender identifier at Meta: 90 days, then deleted.
- The text of comments and messages (including WhatsApp messages) and the senders' names, as shown to the AI assistant while we handle them: kept in our working transcripts, in accordance with Anthropic's retention policy.
- WhatsApp messages: currently kept and not deleted automatically. They are deleted on request, within 30 days. The retention policy that has been set is two years from the date of the message, and we will update this page when automatic deletion is activated.
- Email: kept in the mailbox until deleted, and deleted on request within 30 days.
- Personal page: the files are kept on the server, in the pages folder, and are served read-only. The original copy of the business data is kept in an internal database on George's computer, not on the server. The page stays active as long as Georgix operates, and is deleted on request within 30 days.
- Website browsing data: the website does not keep an access log of visitors. Technical logs at the hosting provider, if any, are set by its policy.
8. Security
We protect data with customary measures, in line with the Privacy Protection (Data Security) Regulations, 5777-2017. Georgix's access tokens are kept in a protected file on George's computer, with restricted permissions, with no cache and no log. The website is served as static files only, with no scripts and no cookies, under a content security policy. If a severe security incident occurs, we will report it to the Privacy Protection Authority without delay, and notify affected people if the Authority directs us to. No security method is perfect, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
9. Your rights
Under the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981, you have the right to:
- inspect the data about you that we hold;
- request correction or deletion of data that is not correct, complete, clear or up to date;
- withdraw consent to the use of data, going forward;
- ask us to stop marketing approaches to you.
Send a request to hello@georgix.tech or on WhatsApp to 055-2524541. We will reply within 30 days. To protect you, we may ask for details to identify you. If you are not satisfied with the answer, you may turn to the Privacy Protection Authority or the Magistrates' Court.
Deleting data that came from Facebook or Instagram: see the instructions page at https://georgix.tech/data-deletion.
10. Minors
Our services are intended for businesses, not for children or for people under 18. We do not knowingly collect data about minors. If we find that data about a minor was collected without a parent's or guardian's consent, we will delete it. Parents who wish to request deletion are welcome to contact us.
11. Artificial intelligence
Some of the replies you get from Georgix in comments and messages on social networks and on WhatsApp are written with the help of artificial intelligence (Claude from Anthropic). Such replies are reviewed and approved by George before they are sent, unless George has explicitly allowed it for a specific kind of reply. The AI does not take decisions affecting your rights, and gives no medical diagnosis or legal advice.
12. Advertising messages
We will not send you advertising messages by electronic message, WhatsApp or SMS without your explicit prior consent. Messages about the order itself are not advertising messages. Every advertising message will say that it is one, who is sending it, and how to stop receiving it. You can refuse at any time by writing to hello@georgix.tech.
13. Changes to this policy
We will update this policy from time to time. We will publish the new version at this address with the update date, and for a material change we will say so on the main page. When the store opens, we will publish an updated policy.
