Parceler · Shopify App

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

Parceler (“the App”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a shipment-tracking application for Shopify stores, provided by Curious Objects LLP (“the Company”). This Privacy Policy explains what data the App accesses, why, how it is stored, and the rights available to merchants and their customers. By installing the App, the merchant (“you”) agrees to this Policy.

01Who we are & our role

Roles under data-protection law:

  • For data belonging to a merchant’s store and its customers, the merchant is the data controller and Parceler is a data processoracting on the merchant’s instructions.
  • For data you give us directly (e.g. support enquiries, billing), the Company is the controller.

02Data we access and process

The App requests only the Shopify access scopes it needs to function:

Data categoryExamples
Store / installation dataShop domain, OAuth access token, granted scopes
Order & fulfillment dataOrder ID & number, fulfillment status, line items, carrier, tracking number, fulfillment location
Shipment eventsCarrier checkpoints, status, timestamps, city/country
Protected Customer Data*Customer name, email, shipping address
Data you give us directlySupport emails, billing contact

* Protected Customer Data is only accessed if and when the merchant has approved Protected Customer Data Access in the Shopify Partner Dashboard. Until then, the App falls back to non-protected and sample data and does not read customer name, email, or shipping address.

We do not access payment card details, passwords, or store data unrelated to shipments.

03Why we process it (purposes)

  • Display shipment status, route, timeline, and estimated/actual delivery dates.
  • Match fulfillments to their order and line items for the merchant’s reference.
  • Maintain the authenticated session between the App and the store.
  • Provide support and resolve issues you report.

We process each data type only for the purpose listed above and do not sell personal data.

04How data is stored & secured

  • Session and shipment data are stored in our hosted database on Render.
  • Data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. Data at rest is protected by access controls and our hosting provider’s encryption.
  • Access to production data is restricted to authorized personnel on a need-to-know basis.

05Data retention

  • We retain store and shipment data only while the App is installed.
  • When the App is uninstalled, or upon a valid deletion request, we delete or anonymize the associated data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.
  • Shopify also sends us a shop/redact webhook 48 hours after uninstall, on which we erase the shop’s stored data.

06Sub-processors & third parties

We share data only with service providers necessary to run the App:

Sub-processorPurposeData shared
ShopifyPlatform / data sourceAll in-scope data
RenderApp & database hostingSession + shipment data

We do not sell or rent personal data to third parties.

07International transfers

If data is transferred outside the merchant’s region (e.g. EU → US), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses.

08Shopify mandatory compliance webhooks

The App implements Shopify’s GDPR/CCPA webhooks:

  • customers/data_request: when a customer requests their data, we provide the store owner with the shipment data we hold about that customer.
  • customers/redact: we delete the personal data we hold for the specified customer.
  • shop/redact: we delete all data we hold for the store after uninstall.

09Rights of merchants and their customers

Depending on jurisdiction (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, etc.), individuals may have the right to access, correct, delete, port, or restrict processing of their personal data, and to object to it.

  • Customers should direct requests to the merchant (the controller). We assist the merchant in fulfilling them.
  • Merchants may contact us at hello@curiousobjects.dev to exercise rights over data we hold.

10Children's data

The App is not directed to children and does not knowingly process children’s personal data.

11Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via the App listing, and the “Last updated” date above will change.
