Privacy Policy

Koala Essentials uses merchant and store data only to provide the app, support merchants, maintain Shopify billing state, and comply with Shopify privacy requirements.

Information we process

  • Shopify store details, including shop domain, installation state, and merchant context.
  • Authentication and session data needed to keep the embedded app secure.
  • App configuration, billing status, feature settings, and storefront setup details needed to run Koala Essentials.
  • Operational analytics, including order-linked attribution data used to measure bundle performance and app activity.
  • Support messages and the details needed to investigate merchant requests.

How we use information

  • To authenticate merchants and load the correct Shopify store account.
  • To provide app configuration, storefront setup, analytics, and billing features.
  • To troubleshoot installation, product setup, storefront display, and billing issues.
  • To respond to support and privacy requests.
  • To comply with Shopify data-deletion and customer redaction requirements.

Storage and security

Koala Essentials stores app data in the database configured for the deployed app environment. Merchant sessions use Shopify authentication and HTTPS transport.

  • Production access is limited to the operators responsible for support and compliance.
  • Backups follow the hosting platform's normal retention lifecycle and are used for disaster recovery.
  • We do not sell merchant data.

Uninstall, deletion, and redaction

  • When a shop uninstalls the app, we remove active shop-owned app data and sessions from production systems.
  • When Shopify sends a shop/redact request, we delete the remaining shop-owned data associated with that store.
  • When Shopify sends a customers/redact request, we remove matching order-linked analytics records.
  • When Shopify sends a customers/data_request request, we prepare a support response record with matching order-linked analytics so the request can be answered.

Sharing

  • We share data with Shopify as required to provide the app and follow platform rules.
  • We use hosting providers as needed to run the app and database infrastructure.
  • We may use service providers only when needed to operate the app, support merchants, or keep the service secure.
  • We do not sell or rent merchant data.
