Shopify stores operate under Shopify's platform terms, which means your store shares data with Shopify Inc. as a data processor. Shopify automatically installs tracking pixels, collects checkout abandonment data, and enables third-party apps โ each of which may process customer data. Your privacy policy must disclose Shopify's role as a data processor and list all installed apps that access customer data. India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 is India's first comprehensive data protection law.

Your privacy policy must disclose Shopify's role as a data processor and list all installed apps that access customer data.
Data typically collected by Shopify Store businesses: customer name, shipping and billing address, email, phone, payment details (via Shopify Payments), order history, browsing and checkout abandonment data, Shopify analytics
A Cookie Policy is best practice for DPDPA, 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.
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.
Under DPDPA, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
