Privacy Policy - AI Readiness Auditor


Last updated: April 2026
1. Overview

AI Readiness Auditor ("the App") is a Shopify embedded app that audits product catalog data for AI shopping readiness. The App is operated by Life Design ("we", "us", "our").

This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is stored, and your rights regarding that data.

2. Data We Collect

The App collects only the data necessary to perform a product readiness audit. We collect no customer data, no order data, and no payment data.

  • Shop domain (e.g. mystore.myshopify.com)
    → To identify your store and isolate your data from other merchants

  • OAuth access token
    → To authenticate API calls to your store during a scan

  • Product titles, descriptions, images, prices, barcodes, categories, variants
    → To run readiness checks against each product

  • Sales channel publication status
    → To check whether your Agentic Storefronts channel is active

  • robots.txt file (public HTTP fetch)
    → To check whether AI crawlers are blocked

We do not collect:

  • Customer names, emails, addresses, or any customer PII

  • Order history or transaction data

  • Payment information

  • Any data from your storefront visitors

3. How We Use Your Data

Data collected is used solely to:

  • Run readiness checks on your product catalog

  • Calculate and display per-product and store-level readiness scores

  • Surface actionable fixes to improve AI discoverability

  • Store scan history so you can track improvement over time

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond delivering the App's audit functionality.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored in a Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL database (EU/US region). The following security measures are in place:

  • Data isolation: Every database query is scoped to the authenticated shop at the application layer. A merchant cannot access another merchant's data.

  • Access token handling: Your Shopify OAuth access token is stored in an encrypted session table and is never logged or exposed to the frontend.

  • Read-only access: The App requests read-only Shopify API scopes. It cannot create, edit, or delete any data in your Shopify store.

  • No third-party AI API: Product data is never sent to any external AI service. All checks are deterministic logic run on our own infrastructure.

5. Data Retention

  • Scan results are retained for as long as your store has the App installed, to support scan history and regression tracking.

  • On uninstall: Your store is marked inactive immediately. All scan data (scan results, product scores, app logs) is permanently deleted within 48 hours in response to Shopify's GDPR shop deletion webhook.

  • Shopify sessions table: OAuth session data is managed by Shopify's session storage interface and is cleared on uninstall.

6. GDPR and Data Subject Rights

We process data on behalf of Shopify merchants under a data processor relationship. The merchant is the data controller for their store's product data.

We respond to the following Shopify GDPR mandatory webhooks:

  • shop/redact: Permanently deletes all store data within 48 hours of uninstall

  • customers/redact: We store no customer PII. This webhook is acknowledged and logged.

  • customers/data_request: We store no customer PII. Nothing is exported in response to this webhook.

If you are a merchant and wish to request deletion of your data before the automated 48-hour window, contact us at the email below and we will action it manually within 72 hours.

7. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following infrastructure providers:

Provider Purpose Privacy Policy Supabase Database hosting supabase.com/privacy Vercel Application hosting vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy Shopify Platform and OAuth shopify.com/legal/privacy

No product data is shared with any other third party.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the App evolves. Material changes will be communicated via the Shopify App Store listing or in-app notification. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
