Locavore (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our browser extension, Locavore, collects, uses, and shares your data when you use our product on Amazon pages to find local bookstores with available stock for a book you’re viewing.
When you use Locavore, we request access to your device’s geolocation through your browser. This data (latitude and longitude) is used solely to determine your current location for the purpose of finding nearby bookstores.
Locavore extracts the ISBN-13 from the Amazon page you are visiting. This ISBN is used in conjunction with your geolocation data to query our book lookup service.
The collected geolocation data and ISBN are combined to form a query to an external book lookup service. The data is processed in real time to provide you with a list of local bookstores that may have the book in stock. We do not store your geolocation data or ISBN beyond the duration necessary to perform the lookup.
The geolocation and book information is transmitted to our trusted external server (or a partnered service) solely for the purpose of retrieving local bookstore data. We do not share, sell, or rent your data to any third parties beyond those necessary to deliver Locavore’s functionality. Any third-party services receiving your data are contractually obligated to adhere to data protection standards similar to those outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Your geolocation data and ISBN are used only at the time of the lookup and are not stored or retained in a personally identifiable form. Once the lookup is complete, the data is not linked to any persistent identifiers.
You can control whether Locavore can access your geolocation by adjusting your browser’s location permissions. Disabling location access may limit the extension’s functionality.
Locavore provides in-product notifications when accessing geolocation data. Please review these disclosures for further information.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we update the policy, we will revise the “Last updated” date and post the updated policy on our website.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at: spmartin823@gmail.com.
