Privacy Policy – Shop Locator App
Last Updated: August 05, 2026
At Shop Locator App, we value the privacy and trust of our users.
We are committed to handling your information securely and transparently.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our app in connection with your Shopify-supported store.
Our goal is to help merchants easily display their store locations on the storefront — while ensuring complete data privacy and compliance with Shopify's standards.
When you install or use the Shop Locator App, we may access or collect certain types of data from your Shopify store to deliver the app's functionality.
The following permissions are required:
- read_files – To read image and file assets uploaded by the merchant for use within the store locator.
- write_files – To upload and manage images or related files used for store locations inside the app.
- read_themes – To fetch available themes so the merchant can select the active theme where the app block will be added.
- write_app_proxy – To securely fetch and display store location lists and map views on the storefront via Shopify's App Proxy system.
These permissions are used strictly to allow merchants to manage store locations, upload related images, and display the shop locator block on the selected theme.
We do not collect any unnecessary or unrelated store data.
No payment, password, customer personal details, or sensitive financial data is ever accessed or stored by us.
Technical Information
We may also collect limited technical information such as browser type, time zone, general site usage statistics, and temporary cookies/localStorage.
We use the collected information solely to provide and improve the app's features:
- Display your store location list added in the app admin.
- Show store locations on an interactive map for customers.
- Render different layout previews using the theme extension.
- Ensure smooth communication between your storefront and our app through Shopify’s secure App Proxy.
We do not sell, rent, or share any merchant or store data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
We retain only the information necessary for the app to function properly.
When you uninstall the app, all associated configuration and access data are automatically deleted from our system.
If you would like to verify, update, or delete your data, you may contact us directly at sales@ptiwebtech.com.
Marketing
We do not send marketing emails or promotional content without your explicit consent. Communication is limited to product updates, support messages, and important service notifications.
About Cookies
Our app may use cookies or localStorage in your browser to maintain user sessions, improve loading speed, and provide a smoother experience when switching layout previews.
Our app may include links to your Shopify admin or related Shopify pages. This Privacy Policy applies only to the Shop Locator App. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites or map providers.
We regularly review and update our Privacy Policy to ensure compliance and transparency. Any changes will be posted on this page.
