Sapiex Shopify Apps

This section of our Privacy Policy applies specifically to merchants who install and use the apps developed by Sapiex Technologies (Sapiex Store Locator Pro and others) on the Shopify app store. 

What Information We Collect and Store
We are committed to operating a highly secure, privacy-first service. To run the app, we only collect and store the minimum amount of data required:

Merchant & Shop Metadata: We store the Shopify store’s permanent domain (e.g., your-store.myshopify.com), a unique shop ID, and an offline access token. This token is used solely to securely communicate with Shopify’s APIs, manage your subscription billing, and authenticate your admin session.

Store Locator Pro App

Store Locations (Merchant-Provided Data): We store the physical store information you upload or input into the app’s admin dashboard. This includes store names, physical addresses, latitude/longitude coordinates (for rendering maps), contact emails, phone numbers, business hours, and custom text descriptions.

App Configuration Settings: We store merchant provided Google maps API key to ensure your store locator displays the interactive Google map using merchant’s API key.

What We DO NOT Collect or Store 

Your customers’ privacy is paramount. Sapiex Store Locator Pro does not track, collect, or store any storefront customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII).

We do not collect customer names, email addresses, shipping/billing addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses, or location data.

We do not track or record customer browsing habits, order histories, cart contents, or purchase events.
When a customer uses the storefront locator to search for a store (e.g., searches by city or state), the search query is processed instantly to return the closest locations. We do not store or track individual buyer search history.

Data Protection and Deletion (App Uninstallation)

Secure Storage: All stored merchant metadata and store locations are saved in highly secure, industry-standard databases using encrypted connections.
Immediate Deletion on Uninstall: When you uninstall the app from your Shopify store, our system automatically receives Shopify’s app/uninstalled webhook. We immediately delete all of your store locations from our databases and revoke/clear our cached data.

GDPR Compliance: We fully participate in Shopify’s mandatory GDPR compliance webhooks. Because our app stores exactly zero customer PII, any customer data requests or redaction requests forwarded by Shopify will yield no records, which we handle and confirm securely.

Who we share your data with
How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
