Information We Collect

When you connect your Shopify store, we collect product data including titles, descriptions, images, and metadata necessary to provide optimization services. We also collect:

  • Account information (email, store name, Shopify store URL)
  • Product catalog data (titles, descriptions, images, pricing, variants)
  • Usage data (features used, optimization history)
  • Technical data (browser type, IP address for security purposes)

How We Use Your Information

  • Generate AI-powered product optimizations
  • Calculate AI Readiness Scores
  • Provide analytics and insights about your catalog
  • Improve our AI models (with your consent)
  • Send product updates and support communications
  • Prevent fraud and ensure security

Data Storage and Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We use industry-standard security practices including:

  • Hosted on infrastructure maintained by SOC 2 Type II certified providers
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
