Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Pin Data Connect ("Pin Data Connect," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Pin Data Connect, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through pindataconnect.com and our related services (the "Service"), how we use it, and the choices you have. If you have questions, contact us at [email protected].

2. Information We Collect

Account information. When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt before storage - we never store or have access to your plain-text password. You may also optionally set a brand name and a currency, which pre-fill matching fields on the Add Product pages.

Product catalog information. When you use an Add Product feature, we store the product data you enter as part of a product catalog tied to your account, so it can be added to over time and connected via a private URL that acts as that product catalog's data source whenever you're ready. This includes the Pinterest product catalog (title, description, price, image link, availability, condition, product type, Google Product Category, brand, and custom label), the Facebook product catalog (title, description, availability, condition, price, link, image link, brand, and Google Product Category), for the Dashery to Pinterest Product Catalog, a base title, description, and product URL you enter once, plus a price, image link, and title you provide for each product type you select, and, for the Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog, the title, description, price, image link, product link, product type, and Google Product Category of each product imported from your artworks with the PDC Import bookmark or the browser extension (see Section 7), depending on which product catalog(s) you use. If you use the Pinterest Enhanced Product Catalog, we also store whichever optional fields you choose to fill in on top of the standard Pinterest fields: variant details (color, size, and related attributes), additional images and video links, review ratings and counts, product identifiers (GTIN, MPN), tax and shipping details, additional custom labels, and shopping ad fields (including any ad tracking link or AI-disclosure text you provide). If you use the Facebook Enhanced Product Catalog, we similarly store whichever optional fields you choose to fill in on top of the standard Facebook fields: variant details, product identifiers (GTIN, MPN), shipping details, channel visibility settings, internal/vendor labels, and whichever fields specific to your product's category (such as clothing, electronics, or jewelry) you choose to provide. The Google Product Catalog stores title, description, price, link, image link, availability, condition, product type, Google Product Category, brand, and custom label. If you use the Google Enhanced Product Catalog, we also store whichever optional fields you choose to fill in on top of the standard Google fields: variant details (color, size, and related attributes), product identifiers (GTIN, MPN), apparel attributes (gender, age group, material, pattern), additional images and video/mobile links, sale price details, shipping details, and additional custom labels. The Bing Product Catalog stores id, title, description, link, image link, price, and shipping. If you use the Bing Enhanced Product Catalog, we also store whichever optional fields you choose to fill in on top of the standard Bing fields: product identifiers (brand, GTIN, MPN), apparel attributes (age group, color, gender, size, material, pattern), variant details, destinations, installment/unit pricing details, Bing ad fields (custom labels, seller name, ad redirect/link template), sales and promotion details, and UCP-readiness fields (return policy labels, consumer message type/content).

Product catalog data source URL credentials. If you generate a data source URL for a product catalog (see Section 6), we store a per-catalog username and a SHA-256 hash of a randomly generated password, plus an opaque, randomly generated URL token that identifies the product catalog. We never store or have access to the plain-text password after it's generated - it's shown to you once, at generation or regeneration time, and never again.

Platform account connections (Pinterest, Facebook, Google). If you connect a product catalog to Pinterest, Facebook, or Google from the Connections page, we store an encrypted access token (and, for Pinterest and Google, an encrypted refresh token) plus limited account-identifying information from that platform: for Pinterest, your Pinterest account id and, if applicable, a linked business account id; for Facebook, a Business Integration System User token together with the id and name of the product catalog you granted access to; for Google, your Merchant Center account id. See Section 6 for what these connections do and don't do. Bing/Microsoft Merchant Center supports the manual data source URL only - there is no account connection option for it.

Source Connections (WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Webflow, and product feeds) - Store Product Catalog Connector plan. If you subscribe to any tier of the Store Product Catalog Connector ($29-$49/month, depending on how many products your tier syncs) and connect your own WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Webflow store as a product data source from the Source Connections page, we store that store's URL and an encrypted API credential. For WooCommerce: a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret, obtained either automatically through WooCommerce's own "Connect app" authorization flow or entered by you manually, plus an encrypted secret used to verify that incoming product update notifications genuinely come from your store. For PrestaShop: a single Webservice API key you generate and enter yourself. For Wix: an API key you create in your Wix account and enter yourself, stored encrypted, plus your Wix site's Site ID. For Square: the access and refresh tokens Square issues when you approve read-only access on Square's own authorization page (stored encrypted), your Square merchant ID, and any product page links you add for your Square items. For BigCommerce: the access token and client secret of a store-level API account you create in your BigCommerce control panel with read-only access to products and store settings (both stored encrypted), your store hash, and the two webhooks we register on your store for you - their IDs, the address they send to, a random secret your store sends back with each notification (stored encrypted), and when each last sent us a notification. For Squarespace: the access and refresh tokens Squarespace issues when you approve read-only access to your products and inventory on Squarespace's own authorization page (both stored encrypted), your Squarespace website ID, and the webhook subscription we create so Squarespace tells us if you uninstall our app - its ID and the secret used to verify its notifications (stored encrypted). For Webflow: a site API token you create in your Webflow site settings with read access to your products and CMS and read and write access to your site settings (stored encrypted, and used only to read your products and manage our own webhooks), your Webflow site ID, the webhooks we register on your site for you - their IDs, the address they send to, and each one's signing secret (stored encrypted) - and which product each of your SKUs belongs to. For a product feed: the feed's web address and, if your feed needs one, its username and password (all stored encrypted, since feed addresses often contain an access key), how you matched your feed's columns to ours, and markers that tell us whether your feed has changed since we last read it (the feed server's change markers and a fingerprint of the file). We also store the sync settings you configure (such as which product attribute or Feature maps to a Google product category, a default shipping cost, and rules that fill in clothing details - gender, age group, color, and size - based on words in your product names) and, for WooCommerce, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Webflow, and product feeds, store details we read from your store (for a product feed, the website its product links point to) such as its currency, weight unit, and dimension unit. See Section 6 for what this connection does and doesn't do.

Etsy Pattern to Pinterest plan. If you subscribe to an Etsy Pattern to Pinterest plan and connect your Etsy shop, we store the access and refresh tokens Etsy issues when you approve read-only access to your shop and listings on Etsy's own authorization page (both stored encrypted), your Etsy shop ID, the address of your Pattern by Etsy site (which we use to build each product's link), your shop's currency and weight unit, and any category mappings you set. Your listings' details - title, description, price, quantity, images, SKUs, variations, category, and weight - are stored only as the products in your Etsy Pattern to Pinterest catalog. See Section 6 for what this connection does and doesn't do.

Billing information. Subscriptions are billed through Paddle.com, our payment processor and merchant of record (see Section 8). We never receive or store your full card number - we only store limited billing metadata Paddle sends us, such as your subscription status, plan, renewal date, and Paddle's internal subscription and customer identifiers.

Free trial redemption codes. If you redeem a free trial redemption code, we record which code you redeemed, when, and the trial period it started, so we can enforce the one-redemption-per-account rule in our Terms of Service and send you reminders before and when that trial ends. We also record which of those reminders we have sent, so you never get the same one twice.

Technical information. We use a signed, HTTP-only session cookie (auth_token) to keep you logged in. We do not log or store your IP address or other request metadata.

Browser extension. If you install the Pin Data Connect browser extension, it can read the page you're currently viewing - title, meta description, price, image, and structured product data (such as SKU, GTIN, or MPN) the page itself makes available - and send whatever you choose to submit into whichever of your active product catalogs you select in the extension: the Pinterest, Facebook, Google, or Bing product catalog (Basic or Enhanced), a Pinterest + Facebook, Google + Bing, or All Platforms combined submission, or a Dashery to Pinterest Product Catalog. For a Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog, it can instead import every product an artwork you have open offers - see Section 7 for how the extension works and what it does and doesn't do.

PDC Import bookmark. Pixels Pro/Fine Art America subscribers can instead add an optional "PDC Import" bookmark from the Manage Artworks page, which imports artworks the same way as the extension - one artwork, or every artwork not yet processed - only when you click it on one of your own artwork pages and choose what to import. See Section 7.

Pixels Pro/Fine Art America artwork list (Manage Artworks). If you subscribe to the Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog and enter your site's address on the Manage Artworks page, our servers read your site's publicly available pages to list the artworks you've published - its robots.txt file, its public artwork gallery and sitemap, and each artwork's public page - following the rules in your site's robots.txt and at a deliberately slow pace. We store the address you entered and, for each artwork found, its page URL, its Pixels/Fine Art America artwork ID, title, description, main image link, and how many product types it offers, plus whether and when you've added it to your product catalog and how many products that created. We never log in to your Pixels or Fine Art America account and never read anything that isn't publicly available. This list is deleted if you delete your account.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To create and authenticate your account and maintain your login session.
• To list the artworks published on your Pixels Pro/Fine Art America site on your Manage Artworks page and keep track of which ones you've added to your product catalog.
• To build and maintain the Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and/or Bing product catalog(s) you create through the Add Product features (or, for a Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog, through Manage Artworks with the PDC Import bookmark or the browser extension), including a Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog, a Dashery to Pinterest Product Catalog, a Pinterest Enhanced Product Catalog, a Facebook Enhanced Product Catalog, a Google Enhanced Product Catalog, or a Bing Enhanced Product Catalog.
• To operate the product catalog data source URL feature, including verifying credentials when a product catalog's URL is read by a platform and checking that the product catalog's subscription is still active.
• To receive product data from a WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Webflow store you connect as a source (Store Product Catalog Connector plan), and build or update your Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and/or Bing product catalog(s) from it (see Section 6).
• To receive listing data from an Etsy shop you connect (Etsy Pattern to Pinterest plan), and build or update your Etsy Pattern to Pinterest product catalog from it (see Section 6).
• To process subscription billing, renewals, and cancellations through Paddle.
• To send transactional emails (e.g. account welcome, subscription confirmations, password resets, and reminders that a free trial is ending) via our email delivery provider.
• To send marketing emails about new features, promotions, and product updates (see Section 4).
• To detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• To understand aggregate traffic and usage patterns on our public marketing pages and account sign-up/login pages, using Google Analytics (see Section 9).
• To offer live chat support sitewide, including inside the logged-in product catalog application, using Tawk.to (see Section 9).

We do not use your product catalog data for advertising. Google Analytics, described in Section 9, only runs on our public marketing pages and account pages (sign-up, login, password reset) - it is never loaded on the logged-in product catalog application itself, so it does not see your product catalog data, account credentials, or billing information. Tawk.to live chat is different - it's available everywhere, including inside the logged-in application, so that you can reach support from wherever you're working. It only sees what you choose to type into a chat conversation; it does not automatically read your product catalog data, account credentials, or billing information.

4. Email Communications

We send two categories of email: transactional emails necessary to operate the Service - such as a welcome email when you register, subscription confirmation emails when you purchase or renew a plan, password reset emails, reminders before and when a free trial started with a redemption code ends, an alert when a platform you've connected suddenly rejects more of your products (Catalog Health - at most one a day, and you can turn these off on the Catalog Health page), and other account or service notices - and marketing emails about new features, promotions, and product updates. Our Terms of Service describe the consent terms governing these emails.

Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out of marketing emails at any time without affecting your account or subscription. Transactional emails continue for as long as you maintain an account, since they're necessary to operate the Service rather than promotional.

5. Your Product Catalog Data

The Add Product pages build platform-ready product catalogs - one for Pinterest, one for Facebook, one for a Dashery to Pinterest Product Catalog, one for a Pinterest Enhanced Product Catalog, one for a Facebook Enhanced Product Catalog, one for a Google Product Catalog, one for a Google Enhanced Product Catalog, one for a Bing Product Catalog, and one for a Bing Enhanced Product Catalog. A Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog has no Add Product page - its products are created from the Manage Artworks page with the PDC Import bookmark or the browser extension (Section 7). Each product you submit through a given page, or import with the bookmark or extension, is added to that product catalog, which is stored in our database, tied to your account, so it can be added to over time and connected via a private data source URL (Section 6). Each product catalog is stored separately: the Pinterest product catalog includes title, description, price, image link, availability, condition, product type, Google Product Category, brand, and custom label; the Facebook product catalog includes id, title, description, availability, condition, price, link, image link, brand, and Google Product Category; the Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Pinterest product catalog, read from each artwork's own pages when you import it with the PDC Import bookmark or the browser extension; the Dashery to Pinterest Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Pinterest product catalog, sourced from a base title, description, and product URL you enter once plus a price, image link, and title you provide for each product type you select; the Pinterest Enhanced Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Pinterest product catalog plus whichever optional fields described in Section 2 you choose to fill in; the Facebook Enhanced Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Facebook product catalog plus whichever optional and category-specific fields described in Section 2 you choose to fill in; the Google Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Pinterest product catalog (title, description, price, link, image link, availability, condition, product type, Google Product Category, brand, custom label); the Google Enhanced Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Google Product Catalog plus whichever optional fields described in Section 2 you choose to fill in; the Bing Product Catalog includes id, title, description, link, image link, price, and shipping; the Bing Enhanced Product Catalog includes the same fields as the Bing Product Catalog plus whichever optional fields described in Section 2 you choose to fill in. You may also Import From File (CSV, XML, TXT, TSV, JSON, or Google Sheets) to continue adding to a product catalog (except a Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog, whose products only come from Manage Artworks with the PDC Import bookmark or the browser extension), or start a new blank one at any time, independently for each product catalog. A product catalog can also be built and kept up to date automatically if you connect a WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Webflow store as a product data source (Store Product Catalog Connector plan, Section 6), instead of or in addition to manual entry.

A product catalog's data is not sent to Pinterest, Facebook, Google, Bing, Pixels Pro/Fine Art America, Dashery, or any other third party unless you choose to set up a data source URL for it or connect an account for it (Section 6) - that's a feature you opt into, not something that happens automatically or by default. Connecting a WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Webflow store as a product data source works in the opposite direction - it brings product data from your store into your product catalog, rather than sending your product catalog's data out to it. Your product catalog data is deleted if you delete your account.

Pin Data Connect offers an optional direct account connection for Pinterest, Facebook, and Google from the Connections page, in addition to the manual data source URL described above - see Section 6 for what account data this involves and what it's used for. Bing/Microsoft Merchant Center supports the manual data source URL only, with no account connection option. Pixels Pro/Fine Art America and Dashery product catalogs are Pinterest-shape feeds under the hood and do not have their own separate account connection.

6. Your Product Catalog Connections & Data Source URLs

Data source URLs. If you generate a data source URL for a product catalog (from the Connections page), that product catalog becomes reachable at a private URL protected by a username and password you control. You may choose to enter that URL and its credentials into Pinterest Catalogs, Facebook Commerce Manager, Google Merchant Center, Bing/Microsoft Merchant Center, or another platform's scheduled settings, so it can read your current product data automatically on the schedule you configure there. This is a feature you opt into and control - we don't send your product catalog's data source URL or credentials to any platform ourselves, and a product catalog with no generated URL is never reachable this way.

Whoever holds a product catalog's data source URL and password can read that product catalog's current product data, so keep them confidential the same way you would a password. You can revoke access at any time by regenerating the product catalog's password from the Connections page, which immediately invalidates the previous one - you'll need to update it on the receiving platform before it can read your product catalog again. If your subscription for a product catalog lapses, its data source URL stops returning data until you resubscribe, even if it's still configured on the receiving platform.

Account connections (Pinterest, Facebook, Google). As an alternative to the manual data source URL above, the Connections page also lets you connect your Pinterest, Facebook, or Google account directly. Doing so takes you through that platform's own login/consent screen, where you authorize Pin Data Connect and choose which account or catalog to grant access to. We then use that authorization for two purposes. First, to register (and, if needed, re-register) a single scheduled product data source on that platform - named "Pin Data Connect" and pointed at the same private data source URL described above - so the platform pulls your catalog automatically on its own schedule from then on. Second, for Catalog Health: once a day, and whenever you click Check again on the Catalog Health page, we read the approval status and any errors or warnings the platform reports for the products in that data source, so we can show you which products it accepted or rejected and why. We store those results - counts, the reasons given, and the IDs of the affected products - until the next check replaces them, or until you disconnect that platform. We never use an account connection to create, change, or delete products, or to read or change orders, ads, pages, or any other data on that platform. The specific access requested is: for Pinterest, the user_accounts:read, catalogs:read, and catalogs:write scopes; for Facebook, a Business Integration System User token scoped to the specific product catalog you select during Facebook's Login for Business flow; for Google, the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/content scope, used only to register your product data source with the Merchant Center account you specify and to read the status of the products in it. You can disconnect a platform at any time from the Connections page, which immediately deletes the stored token(s) and platform identifiers described in Section 2. Bing/Microsoft Merchant Center supports the manual data source URL only - there is no account connection option for it.

Source Connections (WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Webflow, and product feeds) - Store Product Catalog Connector plan. As a separate, opposite-direction feature from the account connections above, the Source Connections page lets a Store Product Catalog Connector subscriber (any of the three tiers - $29/month for up to 1,000 products, $39/month for up to 5,000, or $49/month for up to 25,000) connect their own WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Webflow store, or a product feed from any store, so that product data flows automatically from that store into their Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and Bing product catalogs, instead of entering products manually, up to their tier's product limit. For WooCommerce, connecting takes you through WooCommerce's own "Connect app" authorization screen on your store, where WooCommerce itself generates a REST API key and sends it back to us - alternatively, you can generate and enter that key yourself. For PrestaShop, you generate and enter a Webservice API key yourself; there is no automatic authorization flow. For Wix, you create an API key in your Wix account, give it read access to your store's products and categories, and enter it here with your Site ID; we check them with Wix before saving them. For Square, connecting takes you to Square's own authorization page, where you approve read-only access to your items, inventory, and business profile; Square then notifies us when your items or stock change. Because Square doesn't share each product's page address, we also read your Square Online site's public sitemap and, where needed, its public product pages, to match your items to their page links. For BigCommerce, you create a store-level API account in your BigCommerce control panel with Products and Information & settings set to read-only, and enter its API path, access token, and client secret here; we check them with BigCommerce before saving them, then use that account to register two webhooks on your store so it notifies us when products, prices, or stock change. Because BigCommerce turns a webhook off after a long period with no activity, we periodically check that ours are still on and turn them back on if needed. For Squarespace, connecting takes you to Squarespace's own authorization page, where you choose your site and approve read-only access to your products and inventory. Squarespace doesn't notify apps when products change, so we read your store's products once a day (and whenever you click Sync Now); each daily read also renews our access, which Squarespace otherwise lets lapse after seven days. For Webflow, you create a site API token in your site's settings and enter it here; we check it with Webflow before saving it, then use it to register webhooks on your site so it notifies us when products or stock change. We check once a day that those webhooks are still in place, re-create any that are missing, and then read all of your store's products again to catch changes made while one was missing; we also read all of your products when you click Sync Now, and once a day if automatic updates can't be set up. For a product feed, you give us the address of a product feed your store or a plugin already produces (and its login, if it has one); we read that feed when you connect it, once a day, and whenever you click Sync Now. We only request the address you gave us (and any redirects from it), and we read nothing else from your site. With your authorization, we use this connection to receive your store's product data as it's created, updated, deleted, or restored (for WooCommerce, including a variable product's color/size/price variations and your store's currency and unit settings), and, for WooCommerce where possible, to automatically register the webhooks your store uses to notify us of those changes; for Square, changes sync in automatically when Square notifies us; for BigCommerce, each notification names the changed product, and we read just that product back from your store; for Squarespace, changes sync in with the daily read or when you click Sync Now; for Webflow, each notification names the changed product or SKU, and we read just that product back from your site; for a product feed, changes sync in with the daily read or when you click Sync Now - if your feed suddenly has fewer than half as many products as are synced, we don't remove the missing ones until you confirm they're gone; for PrestaShop and Wix, you trigger each sync yourself with the Sync Now button, and each sync reads your store's current product list (for Wix, including product variants and your store categories or collections) to find new, changed, and removed products. While a store is connected, manually adding or editing products on Pin Data Connect is turned off for the platforms it manages, and you may need to map your store's product types to the correct Google product category before a given type syncs correctly. We do not use this connection to place orders, process payments, or otherwise modify your store. You can disconnect your store at any time from the Source Connections page, which deletes the stored credentials described in Section 2. For Square, disconnecting also withdraws our access with Square itself, so the tokens stop working even before they are deleted. For BigCommerce, disconnecting deletes the webhooks we registered on your store; to fully remove our access, also delete the API account you created for us in your BigCommerce control panel. For Squarespace, disconnecting deletes the stored tokens and our uninstall subscription; to fully remove our access, also remove Pin Data Connect from your Squarespace account. If you uninstall our app in Squarespace, we stop syncing your store straight away. For Webflow, disconnecting deletes the webhooks we registered on your site; to fully remove our access, also delete the API token you created for us in your Webflow site settings. For a product feed, disconnecting deletes the feed address and login we stored; if your feed has a login, you can also change its password.

Etsy Pattern to Pinterest plan. Etsy Pattern to Pinterest is a separate product from the Store Product Catalog Connector, for Etsy sellers who also sell on their own Pattern by Etsy site (Etsy Pattern to Pinterest Starter, Shop, or Studio - $9, $19, or $29/month, for up to 100, 1,000, or 5,000 products). You enter your Pattern site's address on the Etsy Pattern to Pinterest page, then approve read-only access to your shop and listings on Etsy's own authorization page. Etsy doesn't notify apps when listings change, so we read your shop's active listings every six hours (and whenever you click Sync Now), renewing our access as we do. We read only active, public, physical listings - digital downloads and private listings are left out - and add them to one catalog only: your Etsy Pattern to Pinterest product catalog, which can only be connected to Pinterest. Each product's link points to your Pattern site rather than to Etsy.com, and each sync checks that a product page on your Pattern site loads, so we can warn you if the links won't work. We use this connection only to read your listings - never to change them, and we don't access your orders, buyers, or payments. Like a store connection, it runs in the opposite direction from the sharing described in Section 10: your shop sends listing data to us, and Etsy has no webhooks for us to register. You can disconnect at any time from the Etsy Pattern to Pinterest page, which deletes the stored tokens and removes your Etsy listings from your Etsy Pattern to Pinterest catalog; to fully remove our access, also remove Pin Data Connect from the apps connected to your Etsy account. Etsy Pattern to Pinterest may be offered to a limited set of accounts before it's available to everyone. The term "Etsy" is a trademark of Etsy, Inc. This application uses the Etsy API but is not endorsed or certified by Etsy, Inc.

Google Limited Use disclosure. Pin Data Connect's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

7. Browser Extension & PDC Import Bookmark

The Pin Data Connect browser extension is optional - installing it is a separate, deliberate step from creating an account. It only reads a page's content when you click its icon; it does not run in the background, does not monitor your browsing, and does not read any page unless you actively open it there. When you do, it looks for a page's title, meta description, price, main image, and any structured product data the page publishes (such as a SKU, GTIN, or MPN) to pre-fill a form. Nothing is sent anywhere at that point - it's only sent to your account once you review the pre-filled details and click "Add to Catalog." You choose which of your active product catalogs a given submission goes into - the Pinterest, Facebook, Google, or Bing product catalog (Basic or Enhanced), a Pinterest + Facebook, Google + Bing, or All Platforms combined submission, or a Dashery to Pinterest Product Catalog - and the extension only offers the ones your account currently has an active subscription for. A combined submission sends the same product to more than one underlying product catalog at once (e.g. an All Platforms submission writes to your Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and Bing product catalogs together) - each one succeeds or fails independently, the same as using the combined Add Product page on the website.

Pixels Pro/Fine Art America artwork import. For a Pixels Pro/Fine Art America to Pinterest Product Catalog, the extension works differently: there is no single-product form. Instead, when you have one of your own artwork pages open (on Pixels, Fine Art America, or your own Pixels Pro site) and click the import button ("Import All Products," or "Import All Products & Variants" on an Enhanced plan), the extension reads that same site's pages for that one artwork - each product type it offers (and, if your plan includes variants, each size, frame, and mat option), with its current price and image - using requests your own browser makes to that same site only, never to any other site. The parts of those pages needed to identify each product and its price and image are sent to Pin Data Connect, which creates or updates the matching products in your Pixels Pro/Fine Art America product catalog, removes ones the artwork no longer offers, and marks the artwork as processed on your Manage Artworks page. This happens only when you click the import button, and only for the artwork page you have open.

"PDC Import" bookmark. As an alternative to the extension, Pixels Pro/Fine Art America sellers can add the optional "PDC Import" bookmark from the Manage Artworks page. It does nothing until you click it while one of your own artwork pages is open. When you do, it loads a small script from Pin Data Connect into that page and opens a Pin Data Connect window, where you choose to import either the artwork you have open or every artwork on your Manage Artworks list that hasn't been processed yet. The import then works exactly as described above - your own browser reads that same site's pages for each artwork (never any other site), and the parts needed to identify each product and its price and image are passed to the Pin Data Connect window and on to your account - and it only runs while both that page and the Pin Data Connect window stay open. Nothing is read or sent until you choose an option in that window, and closing either one stops it. Removing the bookmark from your browser removes it entirely.

The extension authenticates as you using the same signed session cookie described in Section 2, so it only works if you're already logged in to Pin Data Connect in that browser - there is no separate extension-specific login or API key. The same goes for the PDC Import bookmark: the window it opens is an ordinary Pin Data Connect page using your normal login, and the small script it loads into your artwork page has no access to your Pin Data Connect session, login, or any other site. Data you submit through the extension is stored as part of whichever product catalog(s) you selected, exactly as described in Sections 2 and 5, and is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for any purpose beyond building those product catalogs. Uninstalling the extension stops it from reading any further pages; it does not delete product catalog entries you already added through it, which you can edit or remove from Manage Feed like any other product.

8. Payment Processing & Paddle

Paddle.com acts as the merchant of record for all purchases made through Pin Data Connect. This means your purchase transaction (including your payment card details, billing address, and invoicing) is handled directly by Paddle under Paddle's own Privacy Policy and Buyer Terms, not by us. We only receive the limited subscription metadata described in Section 2 back from Paddle.

9. Cookies, Analytics & Live Chat

Strictly necessary. We use a small number of strictly necessary, HTTP-only cookies, primarily auth_token to keep you signed in. These cannot be read by browser scripts and are never used for tracking or advertising.

Analytics. On our public marketing pages and account sign-up/login pages (not on the logged-in product catalog application itself), we use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and how visitors move from our marketing pages through sign-up. Google Analytics sets its own cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) to distinguish visitors and sessions. It does not receive your product catalog data, password, or billing information. See Google's Privacy Policy for how Google handles this data, and Google's opt-out browser add-on if you'd like to opt out of Google Analytics tracking across sites that use it.

Live chat. We use Tawk.to to provide the live chat widget available across the entire site, including inside the logged-in product catalog application, so you can reach support from anywhere. Tawk.to sets its own cookies to keep a chat conversation connected and to recognize you if you return, and processes whatever you type into a chat window along with general technical information (such as your browser and approximate location) to operate the widget. We don't ask Tawk.to to read your product catalog data, account credentials, or billing information, and it doesn't do so automatically - only what you or our support team type in a conversation is involved. See Tawk.to's Privacy Policy for how they handle this data.

Both Google Analytics and Tawk.to are opt-in - the first time you visit, a banner asks you to accept or decline before either loads, and you can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link that appears after you decide.

10. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with the service providers necessary to operate the Service:

• Paddle.com - to process subscription payments as merchant of record.
• Google LLC (Google Analytics) - to understand aggregate traffic and usage of our public marketing and account pages, as described in Section 9.
• Tawk.to - to provide the live chat support widget available across the site, as described in Section 9.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of Pin Data Connect or our users.

Separately, if you generate a product catalog data source URL and provide its credentials to Pinterest, Facebook, or another platform, or connect your Pinterest, Facebook, or Google account (Section 6), that platform will access your product catalog data directly - either when it reads from your data source URL, or via the one-time feed registration performed through an account connection. That's sharing you initiate and control by choosing to set it up - it isn't us sharing data with a service provider on your behalf, and we don't send your product catalog data source URLs, credentials, or account connection tokens to any other platform ourselves.

A WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Wix, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or Webflow Source Connection (Section 6) runs in the opposite direction from the sharing described above - your store sends product data to us, rather than us sending your product catalog data to it. The one exception, for WooCommerce, is the webhook delivery URL and secret we register with your store, at your direction, so it knows where to send that data; this is information about the connection itself, not your product catalog content. BigCommerce is similar: the two webhooks we register on your store hold the address your store sends notifications to and a random secret it sends back with each one, so we can confirm they genuinely come from your store. Webflow is similar: the webhooks we register on your site hold the address your site sends notifications to and a secret Webflow uses to sign each one. Squarespace is similar, but only for one notification: the subscription we create on your site tells us if you uninstall our app. PrestaShop, Wix, and Square have no equivalent - with Square, the notifications go to a single address registered on our own Square application, not to your store.

11. Data Security

We employ industry-standard safeguards, including salted bcrypt password hashing for your account login, SHA-256 hashing for product catalog data source URL passwords, HMAC-signed and replay-protected verification of payment webhooks, signature checks on notifications from connected WooCommerce, Square, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and Webflow stores, encryption of stored account-connection and store credentials, HTTPS in transit, and HTTP-only/SameSite session cookies. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information using these measures.

12. Data Retention

We retain account and product catalog data for as long as your account remains active. If you request account deletion (Section 13), we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain limited billing records for tax, accounting, or legal compliance purposes.

13. Your Rights & Choices

You may access or correct your account information at any time by contacting us. To delete your account and all associated personal data immediately, log in and go to Settings → Delete Account - this also removes any Pinterest/Facebook/Google/Bing connections and product catalog data tied to your account. You can instead email [email protected] from your account email address to request deletion, or to request a copy of the data we hold about you; we will respond within 30 days.

14. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from, anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

15. International Users

The Service is operated in the United States, and any information you provide is processed and stored in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer and processing.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last Updated" date above when we do, and material changes will be communicated via email or an in-app notice.
