We share your personal information with third parties to help us use your personal information as described above. We work with third-party service providers to provide website and application development, hosting, maintenance, backup, storage, virtual infrastructure, payment processing, analysis and other services for us.
The breadth of third-party sharing — encompassing app developers in the Shopify App Store who may have independent privacy practices — means your data can flow to vendors whose data practices Shopify does not fully control, increasing the risk of secondary data misuse.
Shopify collects a wide range of personal data including contact details, payment information, browsing behavior, device identifiers, and purchase history from both merchants and end consumers shopping at Shopify-powered stores. This data is shared with an extensive network of third parties including advertising platforms, fraud detection vendors, payment processors, and third-party app developers, meaning your shopping behavior across multiple stores may be aggregated and used for targeted advertising without your explicit awareness. You can opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising and exercise data access or deletion rights by visiting Shopify's privacy request portal at https://privacy.shopify.com/en/consumer.
