Privacy Policy — Flame Shopify Integration

Last updated: 26 May 2026

This policy explains how Flame Analytics, S.L. ("Flame") handles data in the context of the Flame app for Shopify.

Data we receive from Shopify

When a merchant installs the app, Flame requests read_orders and write_orders access. Through these scopes we receive:

  • Shop information (domain, owner email, plan, currency)
  • Order data (order id, total, line items, financial status, dates)
  • Customer name and email when present in the order

How we use this data

We link in-store foot traffic, measured by Flame sensors at the merchant's physical venue, with the merchant's Shopify orders to calculate conversion metrics and generate the merchant's reports.

We do not sell personal data, do not use it for advertising, and do not share it with third parties beyond the infrastructure providers required to operate the service.

Roles

Flame is the data controller for merchant account information and acts as a data processor on behalf of the merchant for the customer-level data received from the merchant's Shopify store.

Retention

Personal data received from Shopify is kept while the app is installed and is deleted within 48 hours of uninstall, as enforced by Shopify's shop/redact webhook. Aggregated, anonymised statistics may be retained for product analytics.

Compliance webhooks

Flame implements the three mandatory Shopify compliance webhooks:

  • customers/data_request — we acknowledge and respond to data access requests forwarded by Shopify. Flame's primary databases do not store identifiable customer-level personal data.
  • customers/redact — we acknowledge and process customer data deletion requests. Where no identifiable customer-level personal data is held, no further action is required.
  • shop/redact — within 48 hours of uninstall we revoke access tokens and delete the shop's personal data from our primary databases.

Your rights

You (or your customers) may request access, rectification, deletion, portability, restriction, or object to processing of personal data by writing to privacy@flameanalytics.com. Complaints may be lodged with the Spanish Data Protection Authority (AEPD).

Security

Data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). Access to production systems is restricted and protected with multi-factor authentication. Shopify access tokens are stored securely and rotated through Shopify's expiring-token flow.

Changes

Material changes will be communicated to merchants by email and reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
