Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 23, 2026
1. Information We Collect
When you install and use OrderRules, we collect the following types of information:
- Store information: Your Shopify store domain, store name, shop owner name, email address, and timezone.
- Order data: Order counts, order timestamps, and order status (to enforce your capacity limits). We do not store individual customer payment details.
- Customer identifiers: Hashed customer email addresses or Shopify customer IDs, used solely to enforce per-customer order limits you configure.
- App configuration: The rules, limits, schedules, and settings you configure within OrderRules.
- Usage analytics: Aggregate data about how features are used, to help us improve the app. No personally identifiable information is included.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect exclusively to provide and improve the OrderRules service:
- Enforcing the order limits, store hours, and customer rules you configure
- Displaying your dashboard, analytics, and reports within the app
- Sending email notifications you opt into (capacity alerts, daily summaries)
- Providing customer support when you contact us
- Improving app performance and fixing bugs
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties. We do not use your store or customer data for advertising.
3. Data Storage & Security
Your data is stored on secure servers hosted on Vercel with PostgreSQL databases. We implement industry-standard security measures including:
- Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all data in transit
- Encrypted storage for sensitive configuration data
- Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only
- Regular security reviews of our codebase and infrastructure
We retain your data for as long as your OrderRules subscription is active. When you uninstall the app, we delete your store data within 30 days unless retention is required by law.
4. Third-Party Services
OrderRules integrates with the following third-party services to operate:
- Shopify: We access your store via Shopify's official API under their Partner Program terms.
- Resend: We use Resend to send transactional email notifications. Only your configured notification email address is shared.
- Vercel: Our application is hosted on Vercel.
5. Customer Data (Your Shopify Customers)
When you use per-customer limit features, OrderRules processes limited identifiers for your store's customers solely to enforce the rules you configure. We act as a data processor on your behalf. We do not:
- Use your customers' data for any purpose other than enforcing your configured rules
- Share your customers' data with third parties
- Store customer payment details, addresses, or personally identifiable information beyond what is needed for limit enforcement
6. Cookies & Tracking
The OrderRules app dashboard uses session cookies required by Shopify's authentication system. Our marketing website does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics scripts.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete your data. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@orderrules.com.
8. Children's Privacy
OrderRules is a business-to-business service intended for Shopify merchants. We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of 18.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through a notice in the app dashboard.
