Placeholder — do not launch with this page as written. A privacy policy makes binding statements about how you collect, use, store and share personal data. What it must contain depends on where your customers live and which tools you run on your store. This page is a checklist of the sections you will need, not a policy, and nothing here is legal advice or a claim of compliance with any law.
How to replace this page
Shopify includes a policy generator under Settings → Policies that produces a starting draft based on your store. Use it as a first draft, then have a qualified professional review the result for the markets you sell into before you launch.
Sections this policy will need
- Who you are, and how to contact you about data
- What personal information you collect, and how you collect it
- Why you collect it, and the legal basis for doing so
- Cookies and similar technologies, and how visitors can control them
- Third parties that receive data — payment processors, shipping carriers, analytics and advertising platforms
- International transfers of data, if applicable
- How long you keep data
- The rights customers have over their data, and how to exercise them
- How you keep data secure
- How you handle data belonging to children
- How you will notify people when this policy changes
Before you launch
Every analytics, advertising or marketing tool you add to this store changes what this page needs to say. Update it whenever you add one.
