Legal framework

Article 37(1) GDPR requires the appointment of a Data Protection Officer only where:

  1. The controller or processor is a public authority or body; or

  2. Core activities consist of large-scale, regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects; or

  3. Core activities consist of large-scale processing of special categories of personal data.

Assessment

1. Public authority or body
The company is a private commercial entity and is not a public authority or body.
→ Criterion not met

2. Large-scale regular and systematic monitoring
The company’s core activities consist of providing promotional and pricing functionality to merchants via a Shopify app.
Any processing of end-customer personal data is:

  • Initiated by merchant configuration

  • Limited to specific operational purposes (e.g. enforcing one-use-per-customer promotions)

  • Transient and not persisted

  • Not used for profiling, advertising, or cross-context tracking

The company does not conduct large-scale, regular, or systematic monitoring of individuals as a core business activity.
→ Criterion not met

3. Special category data
The company does not process special category personal data (Article 9 GDPR) as part of its core activities.
→ Criterion not met

Conclusion

Based on the above assessment, the company is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under Article 37 GDPR.

Responsibility for GDPR compliance is assigned internally.
