Privacy policies and terms for Shopify stores

Use this guide to prepare an accurate inventory for your Shopify stores workflow. Start with what your product actually does today, then turn that inventory into editable documents with PolicyKit.

Map the information journey

A store has several distinct data journeys: browsing a product, placing an order, asking for support and subscribing to marketing. Walk through each journey using a test order. Record which details enter the storefront, which reach payment services and which are exported to fulfillment tools. An installed app may create a separate data destination even when its interface appears inside your store dashboard.

Decide what your documents need to explain

Build an inventory of theme scripts, review widgets, discount popups and abandoned checkout messages. Distinguish order communications from promotional campaigns. Explain the recipients of delivery addresses and the information needed to investigate failed deliveries. If you export customer lists for a spreadsheet workflow, include that copy in your retention plan rather than describing only the hosted storefront.

Review the complete user experience

Before publishing, compare the policy with a fresh checkout and the current app list. Remove descriptions of tools you uninstalled. Check that the footer remains accessible on mobile and that a customer can find a support channel without logging in. Keep refund language consistent with the actual order cancellation and return process.

Turn your inventory into a draft

In the free generator, enter your public brand, website and support contact. Describe data categories, purposes, providers, retention periods and security measures that are already in use. Do not paste customer records, credentials or confidential files. Where a decision remains unresolved, investigate it before publishing rather than replacing a placeholder with a guess. Review the output after every meaningful product change.
