Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected, used, and shared when you install or use the App in connection with your Shopify-supported store.

Personal Data

When you install one of our apps, we are automatically able to access certain types of information from your Shopify account. The full list available through Shopify can be seen here. This is visible in the setup process and can be reviewed before finishing the install.

We will store your *.myshopify.com domain as well as the email associated with your store. This is only to provide you with better customer support and is kept strictly confidential from third parties.

Data Collection and Usage

We have access only to the information that is given to us voluntarily via e-mail, live chat or from direct contact with our customers. We confirm that this information won’t be sold to any third-party organizations.

This information will only be used in responding to our customer’s requests, regarding the various reasons they have contacted us about.

From January 2021, all data that is stored on our end for GDPR/CCPA acceptances and the GDPR/CCPA requests (all kinds of information that can be requested through the app, including the deletion requests) will be deleted after 12 months. Meaning that, after this period is over, we will no longer keep any data for these respective website visitors/customers associated with the respective merchants/store owners.

We may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new products or services, or changes to this privacy policy unless you specifically request to be excluded from this list. It is your right to do that too.

The service uses Google Analytics to improve the functionality and the experience for you. You may opt-out of Google Analytics by using the Opt-out Browser add-on, which is available by visiting Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, to enable you to opt-out of Google’s programs.

We do not use other analytics or tracking cookies on our website.
