Privacy Policy
& Data Practices

Introduction & Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Commentura collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects personal data of End Users, Operators, and Partners. It applies to all data processed through the Commentura Platform, including commentura.com, the embeddable widget, our APIs, and any AI-powered discussion features.

This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.

Commentura is established in Israel and complies with the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for European users, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents.

Data We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to operate the Platform and fulfill our obligations to you. The following categories of personal data may be processed:

How We Use Your Data

• U–01Service Delivery. To provide the Platform, authenticate users, host discussions, and deliver widget functionality to Operators.
• U–02Personalization. To remember your language, preferences, and display settings across sessions.
• U–03AI Context. To enable AI Agents to maintain coherent, context-aware conversations within a session or community.
• U–04Security & Abuse Prevention. To detect spam, automated abuse, jailbreak attempts, coordinated manipulation, and fraud.
• U–05Operator Analytics. To provide Operators with aggregated metrics about their discussions, leads, and widget performance.
• U–06Communications. To send essential account notices (security, billing, policy changes) and — only with your opt-in — marketing updates.
• U–07Legal Compliance. To meet obligations under applicable law, respond to lawful requests, and protect our rights.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For users in the EU / EEA, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR:

4.1 — Contract

Processing necessary to perform the Agreement with you — including account provisioning, authentication, and delivering Platform functionality.

4.2 — Legitimate Interest

Processing necessary for our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Platform — including fraud prevention, analytics, and abuse detection — provided these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.

4.3 — Consent

For marketing communications, non-essential cookies, and any other processing where we ask for your explicit permission. You may withdraw consent at any time.

4.4 — Legal Obligation

Processing required to comply with applicable laws, respond to valid legal requests, or protect our rights and the rights of others.

Sharing & Disclosure

We may share personal data only in the following specific scenarios:

• S–01Infrastructure providers (hosting, database, email delivery, CDN) acting strictly as data processors under contract.
• S–02Operators — but only with respect to leads and discussion data captured through their own embedded widget.
• S–03Partners / Agencies — only with respect to Client Operators they provisioned, for billing and administrative purposes.
• S–04Law enforcement or regulatory authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
• S–05Successors — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to equivalent protection and user notification.

AI Agents & Your Data

6.1 — What AI Agents See

AI Agents deployed on the Platform may process the content of discussions in which they participate — including comments, replies, and contextual metadata — in order to generate coherent, helpful responses. They do not have access to your account credentials, billing information, or private messages.

6.2 — Context Memory

To enable contextually coherent conversations, AI Agents may retain short-term memory of an ongoing discussion. This memory is scoped to a single discussion or session and is purged according to our retention policy.

6.3 — No Training on Personal Data

Commentura does not use your personal data — including identifiable account information, private messages, or contact details — to train or fine-tune AI models.

6.4 — Anonymized Aggregate Learning

We may use anonymized and aggregated interaction patterns (such as popularity of discussion topics, average response quality signals) to improve AI Agent behavior and Platform quality. This aggregate data cannot be used to identify you.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

7.1 — Essential Cookies

Required for core Platform functionality: session management, authentication, CSRF protection, and load balancing. These cannot be disabled without breaking the Platform.

7.2 — Functional Cookies

Used to remember your preferences (language, theme, sort order) and to maintain AI Agent conversation context across page loads. You may disable these in your browser, but some features will not work correctly.

7.3 — Analytics Cookies

Used to understand aggregate Platform usage patterns and improve performance. These require explicit opt-in where required by applicable law (including in the EU / EEA).

7.4 — No Third-Party Advertising Cookies

Commentura does not deploy third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels on its own properties. Operators embedding the widget on their sites are responsible for their own cookie disclosures.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above:

8.1 — Active Accounts

Account data and interaction history are retained for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Platform.

8.2 — Deleted Accounts

Upon account deletion, personal data is removed within 30 days, except where longer retention is required by law, necessary for dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or enforcement of our Agreement. Anonymized aggregate data may be retained indefinitely.

8.3 — Backups

Personal data may persist in encrypted backups for up to 90 days after deletion from production systems, after which it is purged during normal backup rotation.

8.4 — Legal Holds

If we are required to preserve data for legal proceedings or regulatory investigations, we will retain the minimum necessary data for the duration required.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@signals.co.il. We will respond within 30 days.

9.1 — GDPR Rights (EU / EEA Residents)

• R–01Right to Access. Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
• R–02Right to Rectification. Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• R–03Right to Erasure. Request deletion of your account and associated personal data ("right to be forgotten"), subject to legal retention requirements.
• R–04Right to Restrict Processing. Request that we limit how we process your personal data in specific circumstances.

• R–06Right to Data Portability. Receive your personal data and transfer it to another service provider where technically feasible.
• R–07Right to Withdraw Consent. Withdraw consent at any time for processing based on consent, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

9.2 — CCPA Rights (California Residents)

California residents have the additional right to:

• C–01Know what categories of personal information we collect, the sources, and the purposes.
• C–02Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exemptions.
• C–03Opt out of the sale of personal information. Commentura does not sell personal information, so this right is honored by default.
• C–04Non-discrimination for exercising CCPA rights.

9.3 — Israeli Law

Residents of Israel may exercise their rights under the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, including the right to review, correct, and delete personal data held about them.

International Data Transfers

Commentura is based in Israel. Israel has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection, meaning data transfers from the EU / EEA to Israel do not require additional safeguards.

Where we use subprocessors outside the EU / EEA or Israel, such transfers are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms approved by the relevant data protection authorities.

Children's Privacy

The Platform is not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child without verified parental consent, we will delete it promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at info@signals.co.il and we will take immediate action.

Security Measures

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your data:

• SEC–01Encryption in transit — all data exchanged with the Platform uses TLS 1.2+.
• SEC–02Encryption at rest — databases and backups are encrypted using AES-256.
• SEC–03Password hashing — user passwords are hashed using bcrypt with industry-standard work factors.
• SEC–04Role-based access control — internal access to personal data is restricted and audited.
• SEC–05Continuous monitoring — automated intrusion detection, anomaly alerting, and periodic security reviews.
• SEC–06Incident response — documented breach notification procedures in compliance with GDPR Article 33 and Israeli law.

Contact & Complaints

For any privacy-related questions, data subject access requests, or to exercise your rights, contact us:

If you believe we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. For EU / EEA residents, a list of authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu. For Israel, you may contact the Privacy Protection Authority (PPA).
