Nester respects your privacy. This policy explains Nester’s privacy practices on www.nester.co.il (the “Website”) and the Nester mobile application (the “Application”) (collectively, “Services”). It describes how Nester collects and uses your personal information and your rights and options. This policy is part of Nester’s Terms of Use (“Terms”). By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that the Terms, Copyright Policy, and Privacy Policy form a binding legal contract between you and Nester. The Services are not for users under 13. If you are under 13, do not download or use the Application, register on the Website, or provide personal details. Nester does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. ‘Personal information’ refers to information that can reasonably identify you, such as your name, home address, and email address. Contact Nester / Report Abuse If you believe your privacy has been compromised while using the Services, contact support@nester.co.il. You may also use this address for other requests or complaints.

Personal Information You Provide

Your username identifies you when using the Services and appears with information you submit, such as traffic reports or messages. To remain anonymous, configure the Application settings. When using the Service anonymously, other users see only your speed and the time you joined. However, Nester will still track your location and routes to provide the Services. An icon representing you will appear on the map without revealing personal information. Providing additional data, even as an anonymous user, may disclose your identity. If you choose “Not Now” during installation, a temporary anonymous account is created. This allows limited use of the Application but restricts access to certain Website features and credit points. Nester shares your Nester rank and points with other users. You can turn off sharing other details like nickname, avatar, and route information. Further information may be collected when you contact support or report issues. Personal Information You Share The Services rely on user submissions, including data shared via social networks. Submissions may include personal details like name, age, and picture. Content you upload, including traffic reports, is public. Exercise caution when sharing information. Nester may display content you submit to all users and on the Internet. Your email address will remain private. Nester aims to provide a safe experience but cannot control user behavior. Consider carefully before sharing personal information or engaging with other users. You participate in user activities at your own risk. Nester is not responsible for user agreements, activities, or events and disclaims liability for any resulting loss or damage.

Location Information

Whether you use the Services anonymously or as a registered user, Nester collects location and route information from your mobile device to provide services and suggest nearby places. Nester may also create aggregated, anonymized data from your location information. To stop sharing location data, uninstall the Application using your operating system’s removal feature. If you wish to delete personal information from Nester’s servers, contact support@nester.co.il.

This may include your name, email, friends list, and other publicly available information. The use of your data by the social network is governed by its privacy policy, not Nester’s. When you authorize the connection, Nester accesses and stores only the information you allow. Certain private social network data may become visible to other users if made public on Nester.
