๐ŸŒ Key Global Requirements

If your website serves visitors from multiple countries, your privacy policy should reflect a globally recognized baseline of privacy best practices. While no single global law exists, the principles of transparency, consent, data minimization, security, and individual rights are common across GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and most modern privacy frameworks.

  • Be transparent about what data you collect, why, and how long you keep it
  • Obtain consent where required and provide opt-out mechanisms
  • Honor data subject rights: access, correction, deletion, and portability where applicable
  • Implement appropriate security measures to protect personal data
  • Disclose all third parties with whom you share data
  • Maintain an up-to-date privacy policy and notify users of material changes
Data retention note: Best practice is to document specific retention periods for each data category and delete data when those periods expire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Cookie Policy required under Global?

A Cookie Policy is best practice for Global, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Shopify Store businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.

What cookies does a Shopify Store website typically use?

A typical Shopify Store website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.

Do I need a cookie consent banner if I have a Cookie Policy?

Under Global, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
