Privacy, Data & Attribution

Privacy and personal-data handling

Give customers a capable wishlist experience while keeping their account-linked data grounded in your own WordPress and WooCommerce store.

Privacy built into the wishlist experience

GoScript Advanced Wishlist WordPress Plugin for WooCommerce keeps wishlist activity connected to the customer account on your own site. That account-based approach lets customers return to the lists they have created, while giving your store a clear, dependable way to manage the related personal data.

1. What the plugin stores for each customer

The information stored is focused on delivering the customer wishlist features and the connected reporting experience. It is linked to the WooCommerce customer account that created it.

Wishlists and saved productsList names, visibility, saved products and variations, and the date items were added support a dependable return-to-wishlist experience.
Customer organisationPriority status and private item notes keep customers’ saved-product plans useful and personal to their account.
Active interest and attributionCurrent saved-product interest and a limited wishlist-attribution reconciliation record support accurate, store-local reporting.
Price contextThe saved-price baseline helps the customer see when the current product price is lower than when they saved it.

2. What shared wishlists do-and do not-reveal

Sharing is designed to make a wishlist easy to pass along without turning account details into public information. A list owner chooses when to enable sharing and can take control again whenever needed.

  • Shared wishlist URLs use revocable, non-guessable tokens rather than exposing customer account IDs.
  • The list owner can regenerate a shared link or disable sharing, invalidating the previous link.
  • Private item notes are never shown on the shared wishlist page.
  • Saved-price baselines are never shown on the shared wishlist page.
  • Customers can share the products they want without exposing their private organising details.

3. How reporting data is kept useful

Wishlist Intelligence helps you spot customer interest without requiring personal details to appear in everyday merchant reports. Historical reporting uses anonymous daily product totals, while live demand remains available only while customers still have products saved.

  1. Account-linked wishlist activity supports the customer’s lists, active saved-product state, and any qualifying purchase reconciliation.
  2. Anonymous daily product summaries provide the aggregate foundation for historical reports and trends.
  3. Current Wishlisters counts distinct active customer interest by product, without exposing customer identities in the reports.
  4. You can use the resulting demand signals to make more informed merchandising decisions from data your store already holds.

4. WordPress privacy tools support your workflow

The GoScript Advanced Wishlist WordPress Plugin for WooCommerce integrates with WordPress personal-data tools, so you can respond to customer privacy requests from the workflow your store already uses.

  • Personal-data export includes wishlist information, active saved-product interests, and wishlist-attributed purchase records associated with the requested account.
  • Personal-data erasure removes the relevant account-linked wishlist data, including lists, saved items, active-interest state, and attribution records.
  • Deleting a WordPress user also removes the associated account-linked Advanced Wishlist data.
  • The plugin adds its privacy information to the WordPress privacy-policy helper so you can review and adapt it for your store’s policy.
