It was further provided that the information provided in this way will be secured under the Privacy Protection Law, 5741-1981, and will be used by the emergency center only for contacting the Israel Police in case of concern for the well-being of the person calling the center. After the need for this information ends, and no later than 24 hours after receiving it, the information will be deleted by whoever received it. In addition, the amendment provides that the list of these emergency centers, and any change to it, will be published on the Ministry of Communications website.
