Updated 4th of May 2023

We value your and your customer's privacy

Packrooster Shipping ("the App”) provides shipping integrations with many shipping carriers and the ability for Shopify merchants to fulfill and ship orders to merchants who use Shopify to power their stores ("the Service"). 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.

In this privacy policy we refer your data as a merchant as ”Merchant data” and your Shopify store's customer data as ”Customer data”.

Personal Information the App Collects

When you install the App, we are automatically able to access certain types of information from your Shopify account as Merchant data: to read products, to read and write orders, to add shipping information to orders and also the email address and address details of your Shopify store.

We collect Merchant data directly from the relevant individual, through your Shopify store, or using the following technologies: “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier.

The App also collects necessary Customer data from your Shopify store in order to function properly. This data is only stored for a period of time it is needed to process the order fulfillments and possible returns with the App. This period is 60 days and after that the data is deleted. This customer data includes order information, customer contact details and address information.
