Bulk Image Editor & Optimizer Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2024-08-10
Last Updated: 2025-09-16


Introduction

Welcome to the privacy policy for Bulk Image Editor & Optimizer ("the App"). Bulk Image Editor & Optimizer is an app for the Shopify platform. This document explains what we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your information. We design our product with privacy-by-default and keep data collection to the minimum needed to run the service.

Information We Collect

Shopify Store Information

To provide our services effectively, we collect Shopify store details such as the store's name, URL, and product images.

Customer Information

Our App does not collect personal customer data such as names, contact information, or order details. We prioritize user privacy and do not store or process personal customer information.

Theme App Extension Analytics (Anonymous)

To help merchants understand how images perform, our theme app extension anonymously collects limited storefront interaction events (only when the theme app extension is enabled in your theme settings):

  • Product detail page views
  • Clicks on "Add to cart"
  • Clicks on "Buy" / checkout related buttons

For each event we store only the following minimal fields:

  • An anonymous session ID (random token)
  • Event type (page_visit or product_click)
  • Page type (homepage, collection, search, product)
  • Product handle (only for product_click)
  • Event timestamp and event date

We do not collect page URL, referrer URL, IP address, user agent, device fingerprint, names, emails, addresses, payment data, or any sensitive personal data. The session ID is a random token tied to the browser, not a real-world identity.

Usage Data

We gather high-level App usage telemetry to improve stability and performance. This may include feature usage counts, request volume, and error logs. We avoid collecting personally identifiable information in these logs.

Dropbox Information

If you choose to connect your Dropbox account with our App, we will access and download images from your Dropbox as per your instructions. We use this data solely to process images (including resizing and compressing them) and upload them to your Shopify store. The downloaded images will be immediately deleted from our servers after being uploaded to Shopify.

App Uploads

If you upload images directly in the App, we process these images only to upload them to your Shopify store. Uploaded images are deleted from our servers immediately after the upload to Shopify is complete.

Connected Sources

You can disconnect any connected source (e.g., Dropbox) at any time. Once disconnected, no further data will be accessed from that source.

Data Protection and Security Measures

We take the security of your data very seriously and implement a variety of measures to protect your information:

  • Encryption: All data transmitted between our servers and connected services (e.g., Dropbox) or the App upload endpoint is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., TLS/SSL). Any sensitive data at rest is encrypted using advanced encryption algorithms.

  • Access Controls: Access to your data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who require it to operate the App's core functionalities. All access is logged and monitored to ensure compliance with our security policies.

  • Data Retention and Deletion: We only retain your data for as long as necessary to provide the App’s services. Images downloaded from connected sources (e.g., Dropbox) or uploaded through the App are temporarily stored on our servers during processing and are deleted immediately after they are uploaded to your Shopify store. No residual copies remain after deletion.

  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to ensure that our data protection measures remain effective and up to date.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable (e.g., GDPR), we process data under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • Performance of a contract (providing the App and its features you choose to use)
  • Legitimate interests (improving image performance and App reliability for merchants)
  • Compliance with legal obligations

Limitations on Data Usage

We strictly limit the use of data to the core functionalities of the App. Specifically:

  • No Advertising or Profiling: We do not use your data for advertising, user profiling, or any other non-functional purposes. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing or promotional activities.

  • No Secondary Uses: The data accessed from your connected sources (e.g., Dropbox) or uploaded in the App is solely used for processing product images as per your instructions. We do not retain or use this data for purposes beyond providing or improving the App's services.

User Rights

You have the right to control your data and how it is used:

  • Data Access and Deletion: You can disconnect any connected source (e.g., Dropbox) at any time, and our App will no longer access data from that source. You can also delete images you uploaded in the App UI at any time.

  • Revoking Permissions: You can revoke our access to a connected source (e.g., Dropbox) via the provider’s settings at any time. Once access is revoked, no further data will be retrieved or used by the App.

Data Retention

We retain data only for as long as necessary to provide the App and for legitimate business or legal purposes. As a guideline:

  • Storefront interaction events collected by the theme app extension are typically retained for up to 30~90 days and then deleted or aggregated.
  • Operational logs are retained for a limited time for troubleshooting and security (typically 7 days).
  • Images downloaded from connected sources (e.g., Dropbox) or uploaded through the App are deleted immediately after upload to Shopify is complete.
  • Backups for deleted or replaced product images (to support restore) are retained for 7–30 days and then permanently purged.

Data Sharing Disclosures

We do not share, transfer, or disclose your data to third parties except as necessary to provide App functionalities, under strict data use agreements that prioritize user privacy. We adhere to legal obligations and will only disclose user data if required by law.

Your Choices and Opt-Out

You can control or stop data collection in the following ways:

  • Uninstall the App to stop all processing.
  • Remove or disable the Bulk Image Editor & Optimizer theme app extension (e.g., in Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes > Customize > App embeds/App blocks) to stop storefront event collection.

Updates to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect operational changes or regulatory requirements. Users will be notified of significant updates.
