Automating your privacy request fulfillment by integrating MineOS to Shopify
This integration allows you to automate deletion and copy requests of user data from Shopify.
Getting a copy of a user’s data using the integration includes:
- Customer data
- Orders
Note:
- Shopify will not erase personal data if the customer has made an order in the last 6 months (180 days) in case a chargeback occurs.
If a request for erasure is submitted during that time, then it will remain in a pending state until the required time has passed. When that required time has elapsed, Shopify completes the erasure request. You don’t need to submit another request. Once the request is submitted the status in MineOS will change to "InProgress" until Shopify completes the erasure request. - When you request erasure, Shopify will only redact personal information (such as name and address). Your anonymized order information will remain intact in case you need it for accounting purposes.
- When submitting erasure request and the customer hasn't made any orders in the last 6 months, the data will be erased after 14 days
Before you start
- Make sure your MineOS plan supports integrations.
- Make sure you are the store owner.
