Order Legend – Google Shopping App referred to as Order Legend for Shopify Privacy Notice

Order Legend – Google Shopping App referred to as Order Legend for Shopify, known as the “App,” provides marketplace services to Merchants who use Shopify to power their stores. This privacy notice describes how personal information is collected, used, and shared when you install or use the App in connection with your Shopify store.

CONTROLLER FOR PERSONAL DATA

Under data protection laws such as the UK/EU GDPR, a “controller” is a person or organization who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which and the way any personal data is or is likely to be processed. Unless we notify you otherwise, Order Legend is the controller of your personal data for the purpose of this App. In other jurisdictions, the equivalent term to denote “controller” shall apply.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data or personal information means any information about an individual from which that person can be identified. It does not include data where the identity has been removed. This is known as anonymized data. Anonymized data falls outside the scope of data protection laws.

INFORMATION THE APP COLLECTS

When you install the App, we are automatically able to access certain types of information from your Shopify account which you have provided to us.

Order Legend may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you (the Merchant) and customers who order from your Shopify store which we have grouped together:

  • Identity Data includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier, and title.
  • Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address, and telephone numbers.
  • Device Data includes the type of mobile device you use, a unique device identifier (for example, your Device’s IMEI number, the MAC address of the Device’s wireless network interface, or the mobile phone number used by the Device), mobile network information, your mobile operating system, the type of mobile browser you use, and the time zone setting.
  • Financial Data includes transaction data of store orders.
  • Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and your communication preferences.

USE OF PHONE NUMBERS FOR OPERATIONAL ALERTS AND SMS MESSAGES

We collect the phone number associated with your Shopify account to send you operational alerts and SMS messages. These messages are essential for the continued provision of our services and may include, but are not limited to, notifications about permission requirements, budget cap alerts, and other important updates necessary for maintaining your account and service continuity.

Data Collection for SMS Messages

Your phone number is collected directly from your Shopify account when you install and use the App. This information is necessary to provide you with critical operational alerts and other service-related communications via SMS.

How We Use Your Phone Number

  • Operational Alerts: We use your phone number to send SMS alerts regarding the operational status of your account, such as budget thresholds, permissions required, and other essential notifications.
  • Service Continuity: These messages ensure you are promptly informed of any actions required on your part to maintain uninterrupted service.
  • Consent and Opt-Out: By installing and using the App, you consent to receiving these SMS messages as part of our service to you. However, you can opt out of receiving these messages at any time by adjusting your preferences within the app or by replying to an alert with the word "STOP."

Data Security for SMS Communications

We take the security of your phone number seriously and have implemented measures to protect it from unauthorized access and use. Your phone number is only shared with our service providers involved in delivering the SMS messages, and it is not used for any other purposes without your explicit consent.

PROVIDING PERSONAL DATA

Where we need to collect personal data by law or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you do not provide that information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. For example, we may not be able to provide you with our services. In this case, we will notify you if this is the case at the time.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Order Legend will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. We will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

  • Performance of a contract: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. For example, when you sign up for our services.
  • Legal obligation: Where we need to comply with a legal obligation. For example, for accounting or legal purposes.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
HOW WE SAFEGUARD PERSONAL DATA WHEN WE TRANSFER IT INTERNATIONALLY

We ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded whenever we transfer personal data out of the UK/EU by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

  • We will only transfer your personal information to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal information; or
  • We will use specific contracts approved for use in the UK/EU which give personal information the same protection it has in the UK/EU. For example, the use of Article 46 UK/EU GDPR safeguard mechanisms to transfer personal data.

In addition, we follow the rules and regulations where required for the transfer of personal information regarding other jurisdictions that we may operate.

DATA SECURITY

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

The transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will take reasonable measures to protect your personal data, Order Legend cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted, and any transmission is at your own risk.

DATA RETENTION

Order Legend will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect of our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.

Order Legend may anonymize your personal data so that it can no longer be associated with you for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws such as the UK/EU GDPR. You can:

  • Request access to your personal data: This is known as a “data subject access request” and enables you to receive a copy of the personal data Order Legend holds about you.
  • Request correction of your personal data: This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
  • Request erasure of your personal data: This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note: We may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you at the time of your request.
  • Object to processing of your personal data: This is where we are processing your personal data based on a legitimate interest or those of a third party, and you may challenge this. However, we may be entitled to continue processing your information based on our legitimate interests or where this is relevant to any legal claims. See also Marketing communications.
  • Request restriction of processing your personal information: This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the information’s accuracy (b) where our use of the information is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it (c) where you need us to hold the information even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or (d) you have objected to our use of your information, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
  • Request transfer of your personal information (“data portability”): This is where in some circumstances we will provide to you or a third party you have chosen your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
  • Right to withdraw consent: This is where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. Depending on the processing activity, if you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
  • Automated decision making: This is where decisions are made about you by automated means. We do not carry out automated decision-making.

KEEPING PERSONAL INFORMATION ACCURATE AND CURRENT

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us. If you wish to update your personal data, please contact us. See Contact us.

CARRYING OUT YOUR DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of the other rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information or to exercise any of your other rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at [email protected].
