Introducing the Privacy Policy

Wepala Ltd built the ShopWithWe browser extension as a Commercial browser extension. This SERVICE is provided by Wepala Ltd and is intended for use as is. This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains how ShopWithWe (“we”) collects and processes information from members and users of the website, software applications, and other online services we provide (collectively “ShopWithWe products”). Our products include, but are not limited to, the ShopWithWe extension for web browsers (the “Extension”), and the website located at www.shopwithwe.com (the “Website”).

If we ever need additional personal information for a specific reason, we will tell you and ask for your permission. Also, to the extent that ShopWithWe has links to other websites (like retailers), please note that we do not own, operate, or control them, and they have their own controlling privacy policies that you should review.

What data we collect and why

In order to provide our products, ShopWithWe collects information that you share directly with us when you use our website or extension. Though you don’t have to, you can choose to provide your email to set up an account with us, which lets you add items to your wishlist, see a personalized recommendation feed, and more. You can also set up your profile with your name and other info for a more personalized experience.

ShopWithWe also collects technical information about your device and use of ShopWithWe to make sure that our products are working correctly. The information we collect is geared to providing ShopWithWe members with a better way to shop online and to help us develop, improve, and market our services.

Account and Profile Information

When you become a member of ShopWithWe, you share a limited amount of information during the registration process, optionally including your name, email address and other registration information to personalize your profile

If you choose to link a social media profile (like Facebook) at sign-in, ShopWithWe will store this information for login purposes. Linking your social media profile grants ShopWithWe access to the profile, but only as allowed by your permission settings, that platform’s terms of service, and this Privacy Policy. We will NOT track any of your social media activity, and we cannot post anything on your behalf.

As you continue to use ShopWithWe’s products, you might also provide information when you:
  • save items to monitor price drops (wishlist)
  • share coupons, promo codes, and deals you found
  • refer friends from your contacts to ShopWithWe
  • communicate with ShopWithWe through email or other means

Technical Information

ShopWithWe automatically collects information to ensure that our products work correctly on different devices and browsers. This includes data like

  • the type of device you’re using
  • the device’s unique ID (where available)
  • operating system
  • browser type
  • IP address
  • event stamp
  • error logs

This data allows us to make sure ShopWithWe products are working correctly, to make your experience better, and to detect and prevent fraud. Also, to help us coordinate our communications and marketing campaigns, and to understand how our users engage with our products, we use common digital tools that allow us to see if you opened an email we sent, visited a link in those emails, or generally interacted with ShopWithWe as a result of our marketing efforts.

ShopWithWe does not track your search engine history, emails, or your browsing on any site that is not a retail website (a site where you can shop and make a purchase). When you are on a pre-approved retail site, to help you save money, ShopWithWe will collect information about that site that helps you shop smarter. We may also collect information about pricing and availability of items, which we can share with the rest of the ShopWithWe community.

Shopping and Usage Data

On retail sites, ShopWithWe collects the name of the retailer, page views, and product information that allows us to track price changes and update our product catalogue. The information you share, and we collect, enables us to improve our products and gives us insights about coupons, deals, pricing, and availability of retail items, which we can share with the rest of the ShopWithWe community. We may also use this information to provide you with a more tailored, relevant experience or show sponsored product offers that may interest you.

Aggregate and Anonymized Data

We may also use the information we collect in aggregate or otherwise anonymized form. This lets us look at interactions with our site and products generally and does not identify you or any specific person. We use this general data for research, development, marketing, analytics, and to enhance the shopping experience for the ShopWithWe community

What data we do not collect

We collect information that we believe can help us save our users time and money. This does not include, and we do not collect, any information from your search engine history, emails, or from websites that are not retail sites.

We also do not collect bank or credit card information.

How we share your data

We know how important your personal data is to you, so we will never sell it. We’ll only share it with your consent or in ways you’d expect (as we explain here). That means we will share your data if needed to complete your purchase, with businesses who help us operate ShopWithWe, or if we are legally required to do so.

We may share information with our service providers (businesses that work for and with us) for the purpose of running ShopWithWe and fulfilling our commitments to you. These include businesses that perform services on our behalf, including to help us maintain our products, to provide support for legal, banking, security protection, payment processing, our own marketing, and customer service. Please know that when we share information with our service providers, it’s for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and not for their independent use.

We may also share information in the following cases:

  • with your express consent;
  • in an aggregate or anonymized format that does not identify any specific person;
  • as required by law, or to comply or respond to a valid government request;
  • when we believe in good faith that it’s necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, or investigate fraud; and
  • with a buyer or successor if ShopWithWe is involved in a merger, acquisition, or similar corporate transaction. If that happens, you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on the Website of any change in ownership, as well as any choices you will have as a result.

How we protect your data

The security of your information is important to us. We have a team dedicated to protecting your information and have put in place physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards

These measures include limiting access, using encryption and testing for vulnerabilities.

Though we hate to say it, despite our efforts, we can’t guarantee that user information will not be accessed, viewed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of a breach of any of our safeguards. You provide us with information at your own risk.

ShopWithWe only retains information about you as long as you keep using ShopWithWe. We’ll also keep information if we need it to meet our legal obligations and to defend against legal claims.

How we use cookies and similar technologies

Like most other online services, ShopWithWe uses cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other markers (we’ll just call them “cookies”) to collect some of the data discussed in this Privacy Policy. These help us operate our products, analyze engagement and usage, and provide a relevant and personalized shopping experience. See below to learn how you can manage your cookie preferences.

Some cookies can be temporary (“session cookies” like those used for navigating your browser) and disappear once you close it. Others last longer (“persistent cookies,” like when you ask a site to remember your login) and are saved to your computer until you delete them.

Our cookies serve several important functions:

  • Operations: These are cookies that we need to make the ShopWithWe services work, and include remembering your login credentials and entries into a form, adding items to a shopping cart, navigation, and standard tech checks like load balancing or javascript checks.
  • Analytics: These types of cookies help ShopWithWe monitor the traffic and activity on our site, and to coordinate our own marketing campaigns. While they do not identify you specifically, they may be indirectly linked to your unique user ID. We aggregate and anonymize this data to help us detect fraud, understand trends, broad demographic data, and the general operation of our site.
  • Attribution: We use third-party pixels on our landing page to tell our advertising partners that someone found ShopWithWe through one of their ads. In addition, third-party affiliates may use cookies on our behalf, so that ShopWithWe can get a commission from a merchant when you make a purchase (which we pass on to you as ShopWithWe Gold). In both these cases, ShopWithWe does not reveal any information that can be used to identify you. site.

If you want to disable cookies entirely, your browser or mobile device might have an option to do that. For more information, including instructions on disabling cookies, please visit: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/

If you would like to delete your profile or personal information, you can always ask us by emailing info@wepala.com . We will delete any personal information we have, though we may still store some data in an aggregated and anonymized format that doesn’t identify you and can’t be attributed to you (or if we’re legally required)
