California residents have some of the strongest consumer privacy rights in the US, and this provision outlines specific actionable rights that can be exercised against Shopify directly.
The policy states that Shopify collects identifiers, browsing activity, purchase history, device information, and location-related data from merchants, buyers, and website visitors, and authorizes this data to be shared with advertising, analytics, payment processing, and fraud prevention partners. Buyers who shop at Shopify-powered stores should be aware that their transaction and behavioral data may be processed both by the individual merchant and by Shopify under its own data practices, meaning Shopify retains data about purchases made across its merchant network. You can submit data access, correction, or deletion requests through Shopify's dedicated privacy portal at https://privacy.shopify.com.
