Visitors to Client Websites
What information is collected?
PW Store Locator provides store locator services to clients through an app that can be embedded in their websites. This app interacts with our services to display store locator content and to collect data on how the app is used, on behalf of our clients. If you visit a webpage that has our app embedded, we may collect the information typically provided by your browser when visiting a webpage — such as the time of your visit, the page(s) you accessed, your browser’s user agent (which contains details about your browser and operating system), your IP address, and details about the cookies installed on your device.
When you use a store locator, our service may also collect information on behalf of our client about the queries you perform, including the location you are searching for. In addition, if the client or end-user has enabled this feature and you agree to your browser’s request to share information, we may receive the GPS coordinates of your device.
How do we use this information?
We use this information to provide accurate and relevant location results when you use our store locator services, so you can easily find the nearest store locations for your query. We also allow our clients to understand the details of the queries and popular search locations on their store locator, which helps them make decisions and improvements, such as adding new store locations in areas with high demand. Finally, we may use aggregate operational data — such as request volume and timing — to optimise and improve our app.
When do we share this information?
As a provider of store locator services, we share information about the searches performed in a store locator with the relevant client, so they can understand demand patterns and improve their services. We also work with a variety of trusted third-party service providers and may share personal information with them to help deliver our services. In order to provide the store locator, we may transmit personal information, including your location, to Google Maps. We may also be required to share your information in response to a lawful request, such as a subpoena or search warrant, or to comply with applicable laws and regulations or to protect our rights.
Clients of Our Services
What information is collected?
We may collect the following information from those who use our services to embed a store locator on their website. If you pay for our services using a credit card, we may need to collect information to process your payment, such as your credit card number, security code, and expiration date. We use Stripe as our payment processor, so your credit card details are kept safe. If you set up your account with Shopify, we may collect additional personal information, including your name, email address, physical address, and company details — and we only collect the information Shopify makes available to us. We may also collect your name, physical address, phone number, and company details to provide our services, issue invoices, and collect relevant taxes as required by law. We may ask for your email address to support your use of the service, allow you to sign in, and send you important notifications such as billing and password resets, as well as promotional emails.
How do we use this information?
We use your personal information to verify your identity, contact you, provide targeted advertising and marketing, and issue invoices — so we can provide a seamless experience. We also use it to ensure we comply with legal requirements, including tax laws, financial regulations, and other legal obligations.
When do we share this information?
We collaborate with many third-party service providers to deliver our services and may share your personal information with them for that purpose. Our employees may access your information as part of operating the service or supporting you, and are trained to handle your data responsibly. We may also share your personal information in response to a lawful request, such as a subpoena or search warrant.
Data Processing
PW Store Locator acts as a data processor for personal visitor data, because we do not own, control, or direct the use of the data our clients collect through their use of our service. As a client, you are responsible for controlling the data collected through our service, and you must provide appropriate notice to your customers about the purposes for which you collect and process their information. If you are a visitor to a client’s website, we recommend you contact the client directly to request details about how they process, store, and use your data, because we do not control the data collected by our clients.
Security
We take the security of your personal information very seriously and make commercially reasonable efforts to protect it from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information when transmitting personal data.
Transferability
If our business is acquired by another company, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring company. This can happen in situations such as mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, or dissolutions. In that case, we will ensure your personal information continues to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We advise you to review this page periodically for any significant changes or updates.
