Subscription Privacy Policy

Subscription "the App" provides subscriptions or recurring order service - "the Service", to merchants who use Shopify to power their stores. 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 Information the App Collects

When you install the App, we are automatically able to access certain types of information from your Shopify account: *Please note that the customer’s billing information is not accessed by the App, as the order processing is done through Shopify checkout integration. All our information is collected through your Shopify merchant account, or by using the following technologies: a) “Cookies”; b) “Log Files”; c) "Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels".

"Cookies" are data files that are placed on your device or computer, and often include a unique identifier, which is anonymized for data privacy. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org. "Log files" track actions occurring on the online Store/Site, and collect data such as IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. "Web beacons," "tags," and "pixels" are electronic files used to record information about how the online Store/Site is browsed.

Using the Information Collected

The information collected by the App is purely used for providing end to end subscription or recurring order functionalities to your store and customers. The information is also used to communicate with you and optimize or improve the App.

*Please note that no customer or shopper information or data is used by the App for promotions or advertisements. Also, the App does not share the customer or shopper information or data with any third parties.

Sharing Your Personal Information

a.) The App uses the services of a few Third Party tools, to provide a better experience to you (the merchant) and your store. These are opt-in services such as ‘Requesting a feature’ from the App, which might access a few merchant and store information such as store name and location. However, the third party tools do not collect or interact with any customer or shopper information or data.

b) The App may share the information or data collected with relevant legal authorities, as may be required by law, to respond to any subpoena, search warrant or other lawful requests, that may arise in relation to your store or operations. This is to strictly comply with the applicable laws and regulations.
