This Privacy Policy describes how NWS Connect (“we,” “our,” or “the service”) collects, uses, and protects information in connection with lead generation and customer relationship management for Norwood Sawmills (“Norwood,” “the client”). NWS Connect is a lead integration service that receives lead data from Meta (Facebook) Lead Ads and sends it to Norwood’s Salesforce CRM.
Summary of Policy
We process and store lead data and account data only as necessary to operate the integration between Meta Lead Ads and Salesforce CRM on behalf of Norwood Sawmills. Personally identifiable information from leads is received via webhook from Meta, processed by this service, and forwarded to Norwood’s Salesforce CRM for sales and marketing purposes in accordance with Norwood’s own privacy practices and applicable law.
Information We Collect and How It Is Used
Lead data from Meta (Facebook) Lead Ads
When you submit a lead form on Meta (Facebook) or Instagram in connection with Norwood Sawmills advertising, Meta sends that lead data to our webhook endpoint. This data may include your name, email address, phone number, and any other fields you completed in the lead form. We receive this data via a secure webhook, store it temporarily for processing and logging, and forward it to Norwood’s Salesforce CRM so that Norwood can respond to your inquiry and manage customer relationships. Norwood’s use of your data is governed by Norwood Sawmills’ Privacy Policy.
Account and dashboard use
If you sign in to the NWS Connect dashboard, we use a third-party authentication provider (Clerk) to manage your account. We do not store your password. We may store your email and account identifier for access control and support. Use of the dashboard (including viewing webhook activity and settings) is subject to this policy and our terms of use.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, to remember your preferences, and to improve the service. By using NWS Connect, you consent to the use of these technologies as described here. You can adjust your browser settings to limit or block cookies; doing so may affect your ability to use the dashboard.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. Lead data received from Meta is shared only with Norwood Sawmills (via Salesforce CRM) for the purpose of responding to inquiries and managing customer relationships. We may share information with service providers (e.g., hosting, authentication, CRM integration) only to the extent necessary to operate the service, under contractual obligations to protect your data.
Data Retention
We retain webhook and lead data for as long as needed to process and sync leads to Salesforce and to maintain logs for troubleshooting and compliance. Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account or data by contacting us; Norwood’s retention of lead data in Salesforce is governed by Norwood’s privacy policy and data retention practices.
Data Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect data in transit and at rest, including HTTPS and secure storage. No system is completely secure; by using NWS Connect you acknowledge that we take reasonable steps to protect your information but cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights with regard to data held by NWS Connect, contact us using the details below. For lead data already in Norwood’s Salesforce CRM, please refer to Norwood Sawmills’ privacy policy and contact Norwood directly.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will post the current version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of NWS Connect after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. For material changes, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
