Enacted in 1981, Israel's Protection of Privacy Law (PPL) is one of the oldest data privacy regulations in the world. Since then, it has undergone several amendments and additions to ensure it remains applicable to modern data-related activities such as the automated processing of personal data.
The PPL provides comprehensive guidelines on the management and usage of databases to safeguard the privacy of Israelis' personal data. It also aims to ensure threats to Israelis' data privacy are minimal.
Under the PPL, Privacy Protection Authority (PPA) is the main supervisory unit established by the Minister of Justice with the approval of the Knesset's Constitution, Law, and Justice Committee. The individual who leads the PPA (Privacy Protection Authority) also holds the position of the Registrar of Databases.
Each year, no later than the 1st of April, the Registrar prepares a Protection of Privacy Report submitted by the Protection of Privacy Council to the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee of the Knesset, detailing the enforcement and supervisory activities in the preceding year with comments on how it plans to carry out its functions for the upcoming year.

Here are key data subject rights that Israelis are entitled to per the PPL:
All Israelis have the right to inspect and access, either themselves or via a representative authorized by them, any information that may have been collected and stored on them in a database. This authorization should be based on a written agreement between the person who has the databases and the actual owner of each database. If the organization has five registered databases, then it must annually give a list to the Registrar. This list confirms who can access each database based on agreements and includes the security supervisor's name.
Each individual has the right to review information about themselves stored in a database. The database owner must facilitate this review upon the person's request, allowing them or their authorized representative (in writing) to examine the information in Hebrew, Arabic, or English.
All Israelis have the right to request the rectification of their personal data within a database. In case the owner of the database is not based in Israel, then the data processor is supposed to comply with the users’ request if the owner agrees to the request for rectification or a court orders a correction to be made. If such a request cannot be granted, the owner or the processor must inform the user in the form and manner prescribed within the regulations.
Every person is entitled to demand, in writing, of the owner of the database used for direct mailing that the information relating to him be deleted from the database.
