Name: Screwfix to Simpro Exporter
Last updated: 26th August 2025
Overview
This extension allows authenticated users to export their shopping cart from screwfix.com to an external purchase order system (e.g., Simpro) via a secure backend API.
We are committed to handling user data responsibly and securely.
Data Collected
Data Type What It Is Why It’s Collected
What is collected: username and password
Why it’s collected: used to authenticate the user with our backend and issue a short-lived JWT token.
Session token (JWT)
What is collected: a signed token identifying the user
Why it’s collected: stored in local extension storage to authenticate export requests.
Basket data
What is collected: SKU, quantity, price, total value

Data Not Collected

- We do not collect credit card numbers, financial account details, or payment information.
- We do not use tracking scripts, analytics, or advertising pixels.

How We Use Data
- Authentication credentials are used once during login and transmitted securely via HTTPS to our AWS-hosted backend.
- A JWT token is issued and stored in the extension to identify the user in future export requests.
- Basket data is sent to the backend for the sole purpose of creating a purchase order.
Data Retention
- Login tokens (JWTs) are stored locally in the browser’s chrome.storage.local and are removed when the user logs out.
- Basket data is transmitted securely and not stored in the extension or retained beyond its export.
Security
- All communications with the backend are done over HTTPS.
- No credentials or sensitive data are stored beyond the authenticated session.
- The extension does not modify browser content or intercept user behavior beyond the active tab and user-initiated action.
