Amazon Importer
privacy policy

Introduction

Amazon Importer by InfoShore (“the App”) is provided by InfoShore Apps (“InfoShore”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).

The App helps Shopify merchants import Amazon products — and, optionally, Amazon product reviews — into their Shopify store, so they can list those products and earn Amazon affiliate commissions. It can also synchronize inventory and prices from Amazon to Shopify. It is a one-way importer: it does not publish Shopify products to Amazon, and it does not process Amazon orders.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, stored, and shared when you install or use the App in connection with your Shopify store. By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information we collect

To provide the functionality of the App, we access and process certain information from your Shopify store and from Amazon. The App only accesses information necessary to provide the features it offers.

Information from Shopify

Based on the permissions you grant when installing the App, we access the store owner's name, email address, phone number, and physical address; your products, inventory, and collections, so imported products can be created and kept up to date; and your store's locations. This is the data access shown on the App's Shopify App Store listing, which is the authoritative description of what the App can reach.

Information from Amazon

When you import products, the App accesses publicly available Amazon product information — titles, descriptions, images, variants, prices, and, where you enable it, product reviews, including the reviewer display name, rating, and review text shown on the Amazon product page. Product and price information may also be read on a schedule to keep imported items updated. The App connects through the Amazon Associates program and does not access any Amazon Seller Central account or Amazon order data.

Information collected automatically

We may collect technical information such as IP address, browser information, device information, application logs, error reports, and usage analytics. This information helps us maintain, improve, and secure the App.

How we use information

We use collected information to connect your Shopify store to the App; import Amazon products and reviews into Shopify; synchronize inventory and prices from Amazon to Shopify on a schedule; provide customer support; monitor performance and reliability; improve App functionality; and detect and prevent misuse or fraud.

We do not use merchant data for advertising purposes, and we do not use your data to train machine-learning models.

Imported product reviews

If you choose to import Amazon product reviews, the App copies review content — including the reviewer's display name, rating, and text as publicly shown on Amazon — into your Shopify product pages. You are responsible for how imported reviews are displayed in your store and for complying with Amazon's and Shopify's requirements for review content, including any attribution or disclosure that may be required. You can remove imported reviews from your Shopify store at any time.

Data storage and retention

We retain information only as long as necessary to provide the App's functionality, maintain import and synchronization processes, provide customer support, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Data after App uninstall

When you uninstall the App, we stop accessing your Shopify store and Amazon data, and import and synchronization activities cease. Shopify sends us a shop/redact request after uninstall, and merchant data associated with the App may be deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period following that request, unless retention is required for legal, security, accounting, or legitimate business purposes.

Shopify also sends customers/redact and customers/data_request webhooks; we act on these as required. If you wish to request immediate deletion of your data, please contact us using the information provided below.

Data sharing

We do not sell merchant or customer data. Information may be shared only with service providers that help operate the App, with hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, when required by law, to protect our legal rights or security, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets.

Any third-party service providers are required to handle information appropriately and securely.

Data security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect merchant information. These measures may include encrypted data transmission, secure authentication mechanisms, access controls, infrastructure monitoring, and security best practices.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

International data transfers

Because our infrastructure and service providers may operate in multiple countries, information may be processed or stored outside your country of residence. We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information remains protected and handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

GDPR and privacy rights

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with applicable privacy laws, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including access to your information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion of information, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability where applicable.

Requests regarding personal information may be submitted using the contact information below.

Controller and processor responsibilities

As the merchant, you are the data controller: you remain responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable privacy laws and for maintaining appropriate privacy notices for your customers. InfoShore acts only as a data processor in connection with data processed through the App, handling it on your instructions.

Third-party services

The App integrates with Shopify and with Amazon through the Amazon Associates program. Your use of these services remains subject to their respective terms, policies, and privacy practices, including the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement. “Amazon” is a trademark of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates; InfoShore is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by Amazon.com, Inc.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or App functionality. Updated versions will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
