Discount Ninja (the "App”) provides the ability to manage promotions (the "Service") to you (the "Merchant") who uses Shopify to power their store.
This Privacy Policy describes how personal information about you (the Merchant) and the visitors of your store (the "Visitors") is collected on your store (the "Site"), used, and shared when you install or use the App in connection with your Shopify-supported store.
Personal Information the App Collects
Shopify Data
When you install the App the app acquires access to a set of information in your Shopify account required by the App to operate. Specifically, the App has access to:
Discounts: the App can access details of existing discount codes and can create new ones. This is needed to be able to allow you to select a discount code to apply or generate new ones on the fly.
Products: the App can access the list of products and collections available on your store; this allows you to select products and collections directly from the app
Script tags: the App registers a JavaScript script to be executed on your store; this script can be updated to enhance or correct functionality if necessary
Theme files: the App adds liquid files to your theme; these files allow your theme to show discounted prices
Orders: the App can read new orders created in your store. The order data is not persisted on our servers. It is only used to determine how much revenue each of your promotions generates. This helps you determine the ROI on each promotion managed by the App
Customer data: the App optionally reads customer data associated with the orders that are discounted by the app. This is only done if the feature "Automatically add tags to flag coupon fraud" is enabled. When this option is selected, Discount Ninja accesses customer data linked to the orders discounted by the app. Specifically, the app processes the first and last name, the shipping address, the email address and the phone number. This data is used for the sole purpose of evaluating whether the customer has attempted to place multiple orders that include the same promotion that is marked as 'one use per customer'. This data is not persisted, is not shared with third parties and is not used for any other purpose. If you disable this feature, the app does not request customer data linked to orders.
Draft order: the App can create draft orders. Draft orders allow visitors to check out a cart that includes advanced discounts that cannot be applied through a normal checkout.
Personal information of the Merchant
We collect the following types of personal information from you (the Merchant) once you have installed the App:
Name and email address of the Owner and optionally other Staff: this information allows the App to send information when important events occur (e.g. when a scheduled promotion starts or ends; an issue is detected that affects one or more of your promotions; new features are released; ...)
Personal information of the Visitors
We collect the following types of personal information from the individuals who visit your store (the Visitors) once you have installed the App:
IP address: the App processes the IP address of the visitor in order to determine their location for the purposes of serving them promotions applicable for their location
