Privacy policy

This policy explains what Mix & Match Bundle Builder stores, why, and for how long. It applies to merchants who install the app, to shoppers who use a bundle on a merchant’s store, and to anyone who writes to us through this site.

What we store about a merchant

When a merchant installs the app, we store:

Products, prices and images are read from Shopify when needed. We do not keep copies of a merchant’s catalogue.

What we store about shoppers

Nothing that identifies anyone. We do not store names, email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers or payment details.

When a shopper uses a bundle, we record which steps were reached and which products were chosen, tagged with a random identifier generated in that browser. That identifier is not linked to a Shopify customer account and cannot be traced back to a person. It lets a merchant see how many people started a bundle and how many finished it, and nothing more.

A shopper’s bundle choices also travel on the order itself, as line item properties Shopify stores. That data belongs to the merchant and is governed by the merchant’s own privacy policy.

What we store when you write to us

Writing to support, whether from inside the app or from the contact form on this site, stores the message so it cannot be lost if a notification fails.

A message is used to answer the question and for nothing else. We do not add a sender to a mailing list.

Where it is stored

Application data is held in a PostgreSQL database operated by Supabase, in the European Union. Access tokens are encrypted before they are written. The application runs on Render.

How long we keep it

Shopify privacy requests

We implement the three privacy webhooks Shopify requires. Because we hold no personal data about shoppers, a request for a customer’s data returns nothing and a request to delete a customer’s data has nothing to delete. A request to delete a shop’s data erases everything we hold for that store.

Sharing

We do not sell data and we do not share it with advertisers. Data is processed by Shopify, Supabase and Render solely to run the app.
