Chrome extension
Panco Connect privacy
Panco Connect gives signed-in users access to the Panco directory, business contacts, shared preferred agents, network news and registered holidays in Chrome’s side panel. This section describes data handled by the extension.
Your session and the information you request
When you choose “Connect my Panco session”, the extension reads your existing session cookie at app.pancoworld.com and uses it to authenticate encrypted HTTPS requests to api.pancoworld.com. It does not ask for or collect your password. Panco receives the authentication token, searches, filters and preferred-agent changes needed to carry out your requests under your existing account permissions.
The information displayed can include your account and company context, company profiles, business contact details, registered holidays, news and a member payment-alert flag. Changes to shared preferred agents are saved to your company’s Panco account and can be seen by authorised colleagues.
What stays in your browser
The extension saves only its connection preference and selected Panco source in Chrome extension storage. It does not save passwords, session tokens, member records, contacts, news or searches there. Displayed records are held in memory and cleared when you disconnect, hide the panel or access checks fail. Navigation choices may remain in memory while the panel is loaded; your access is checked again before records are reloaded.
Panco services, images and external links
Account requests go to Panco’s API. Images may load from HTTPS hosts supplied by that API; their operators receive ordinary request information, such as your IP address, but the extension does not send them your Panco token or a page referrer. Email, telephone, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and website links open only when you select them and are then subject to the destination service’s privacy policy.
Limited use of extension data
The extension does not read other websites or your browsing history and contains no advertising or analytics. Data obtained through Chrome’s APIs is used only to provide and secure the features described here, in accordance with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. It is not sold or used for advertising, unrelated profiling, creditworthiness or lending decisions. The website’s optional analytics and advertising described below do not apply inside the extension.
Disconnecting, uninstalling and privacy requests
Use “Log out” in the panel to disconnect the extension. This leaves your Panco website session open. Uninstalling the extension does not delete your Panco account or shared preferred-agent changes saved in Panco. To ask about access, correction or deletion of personal information held by Panco, use the privacy contact below.
