Privacy Policy

1. Overview

We never sell your contact information, and we contact you only through the message types and channels you authorize. You can change those permissions at any time in our client portal.

This Privacy Policy explains how Web Shopping Systems, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information through webshoppingsystems.com (the "Site"), our client portal (the "Portal"), our emails, texts, and calls, and the services we provide (the "Services"). Our Terms of Service also apply to your use of the Site, Portal, and Services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you give us, materials you submit for Services, and limited information collected automatically when you use the Site.

3. How We Use Information

We use information to provide the Services and run our business, and for no unrelated purpose. Specifically, we use it to:

• Respond to inquiries, prepare estimates, and schedule, perform, and deliver Services.
• Create and secure your Portal account and send the one-time sign-in links or codes you request.
• Contact you through the transactional channels you authorize.
• Send promotional messages, only through the promotional channels you authorize.
• Process payments and keep business, tax, and accounting records.
• Understand how visitors use the Site and improve it.
• Protect the Site, the Portal, and our clients, prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with the law.

4. Communications and Your Consent

We ask for your consent separately for each message type and each channel, and every choice is optional.

• Consent to promotional messages is never a condition of purchase, and you do not have to authorize every transactional channel to receive Services.
• You can change your permissions for any message type or channel at any time in the Portal.
• To opt out, reply STOP to any text (HELP for help), use the unsubscribe link in a promotional email, tell us during a call, or email info@webshoppingsystems.com. We honor opt-out requests made by any reasonable means as soon as practical, and no later than 10 business days after we receive them.
• Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.

Mobile information is not shared. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other categories of sharing described in this policy exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

5. How We Share Information

We never sell your contact information, and we never share it with third parties for their own marketing. We share information only in these cases:

• Service providers that work on our behalf and may use the information only to provide their services to us: website hosting; customer-relationship, email, text, and voice-call platforms; online scheduling; payment processing; analytics (Google Analytics); and AI-assisted development tools used to perform Services on your code (see Section 7).
• Legal requirements, when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or when needed to protect the rights, property, or safety of our clients, the public, or Web Shopping Systems.
• Business transfers, if our business is merged, sold, or reorganized. Any successor must protect your information as this policy describes.
• With your direction or consent.

Text messaging opt-in data and consent are never shared, as described in Section 4.

6. Google Analytics, Cookies, and Tracking

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as pages visited, time on page, referring site, approximate location, and device and browser type. Google handles this information under its own privacy policy; you can read how Google uses data from sites that use its services.

• Opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, or block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• Necessary cookies keep you signed in to the Portal and help protect the Site. Blocking them may stop the Portal from working.
• Online booking. Our appointment-scheduling tool is provided by a third-party service provider. Information you enter when booking goes to that provider on our behalf.
• Tracking across sites. Third parties, including Google, may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you use the Site.
• Do Not Track. The Site does not currently respond to browser Do Not Track signals.

7. Your Code, Files, and Systems

We use your code, files, databases, and access credentials ("Client Materials") only to perform the Services you request, and we keep them confidential.

• Your customers' data. Client Materials, especially database copies, may contain personal information about your customers or users. We handle that information on your behalf and only to perform the work. You remain responsible for having the right to share it with us.
• Send only what we need. Where practical, remove or mask sensitive data, such as government ID numbers or financial account details, before sending database copies.
• Staging first. Wherever possible, we work on a private staging copy rather than your live site. Live security testing is limited to non-destructive checks at agreed times.
• AI-assisted development. We use AI coding tools, including Claude Code by Anthropic, to help inspect, change, and test code. Portions of your Client Materials may be processed through these tools' systems as needed to perform the work. A human developer reviews every change.
• Credentials. We use access credentials only for your project. We recommend giving us project-specific accounts and changing or revoking them when the project closes.
• Deletion. For PHP Security Reviews, we delete our working copy of your code 45 days after delivery. For other Services, we keep copies only as long as needed to complete the work, cover the problem-reporting period in our Terms of Service, and meet legal obligations, and then delete them.
• Non-disclosure agreements are available on request.

8. Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy.

• Account and contact information: while your account is open, and afterward as needed for business records.
• Consent and opt-out records: as long as needed to honor your choices and show that we follow communications laws.
• Payment and business records: as long as tax and accounting laws require.
• Analytics data: according to our Google Analytics retention settings.
• Client Materials: as described in Section 7.

We protect information with reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, one-time sign-in links or codes in place of passwords, and access limited to people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If a security breach affects your personal information, we will notify you as the law requires.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You control your contact information and communication permissions in the Portal at any time.

• Review and update your contact information and your permission for each message type and channel in the Portal.
• Opt out of any message type or channel as described in Section 4.
• Request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by emailing info@webshoppingsystems.com. To protect you, we confirm your identity by sending a message to the contact information on your account. We respond within the time the law requires.
• Limits on deletion. We may keep some information when the law requires it, to complete a project, to resolve disputes, or to keep records of your consent and opt-out choices.
• Opt out of analytics as described in Section 6.

Residents of some states have additional privacy rights under their state's law. We honor the rights that apply to you.

10. Nevada Residents, Children, and Other Notices

Nevada residents. We do not sell covered information as defined in Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 603A. You may still submit a verified request directing us not to sell your covered information by emailing info@webshoppingsystems.com with the subject line "Nevada Opt-Out Request." We will respond within 60 days. This policy's sections on what we collect (Section 2), who we share it with (Section 5), how you can review and correct it (Section 9), tracking across sites (Section 6), and how we announce changes (Section 11) serve as our notice under NRS 603A.340.

Children. The Site and Services are intended for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.

Other websites. The Site links to third-party sites, such as Facebook and our scheduling provider. Their own privacy policies govern how they handle your information.

Location of processing. We are based in the United States, and your information is processed and stored in the United States.

11. Changes to This Policy and Contact Information

We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we will post the new version on this page with a new effective date. For material changes, we will also notify registered clients in the Portal or by email before the changes take effect.
