Does Israeli data protection law apply to a foreign company with no office in Israel?

Yes, in practice. The Privacy Protection Law applies to any entity that owns or manages a database containing personal information about Israeli residents, regardless of where the entity is located. The PPA has confirmed this extraterritorial reach in published guidance. If your business collects data from Israeli users, customers, or employees — even through a website with no Israeli physical presence — you should assess whether the Law's obligations apply to you.
