This provision establishes the operational framework under which personal information flows to third parties beyond Shopify's direct control. The clause creates a contractual requirement that app developers adhere to privacy standards while allocating liability for third-party compliance to those developers rather than to Shopify.
Users who install third-party apps authorize those app developers to access their personal information under the terms' requirements that developers comply with Shopify's privacy standards. Users do not receive direct contractual protections regarding third-party privacy practices, as Shopify's responsibility for app developer conduct is disclaimed.
