Privacy PolicySbit: Store Backup & Restore (Shopify embedded application)
Last updated: May 15, 2026
This document describes how Stonebit InfoTech ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you install and use our Shopify application "Sbit: Store Backup & Restore" (the "App").
The App runs inside Shopify Admin and uses Shopify's platform and APIs.
We use Shopify's authentication and session mechanisms for embedded apps. Our servers may store session records needed to operate the App (for example shop identifier, access tokens, token expiry, and related OAuth/session fields as required by the Shopify app stack).
Where Shopify's session includes them, we may process limited staff profile fields (such as name or email) associated with the use of the App. We use this only to operate support features, audit internal actions, or comply with law.
When you run exports or imports, we create records that typically include: shop identifier, job type (export/import), status, timestamps, selected resources, progress totals, structured job reports, and error messages. These records are used to show history, progress, downloads, and troubleshooting.
If you configure scheduled backups, we store schedule settings needed to run those jobs (for example frequency, time preferences, and related flags).
If you submit a contact or support enquiry through the App, we process the content of your message and contact details you provide so we can respond.
If your account is part of our internal support configuration, we may process additional operational data strictly to provide support for stores that have installed the App. Merchants who are not part of that configuration are not affected.
Like most hosted software, our servers may generate standard technical logs (such as IP address, timestamps, request paths, and error diagnostics) for security, reliability, and abuse prevention.
The App's purpose is to export and import merchant store data. That data can include commercial information the merchant already holds in Shopify (for example products, customers, orders, content, discounts, and similar resources depending on what you choose to include). Merchants decide what to export and where to import.
If a merchant exports or imports resources that contain personal data relating to the merchant's customers (for example customer records or order data), we process that data solely on behalf of the merchant as a service provider / processor-like role to provide the App's functionality.
The merchant is typically the controller of their buyers' data and must ensure their own privacy notices, lawful bases, and retention practices are correct.
We use information to:
We do not sell your personal information as a product.
Depending on context, we rely on one or more of the following bases:
We may process and store data in countries other than your own. Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers (such as contractual clauses approved by regulators).
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law.
Exact retention can depend on configuration, backups of our databases, and legal holds.
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we encourage merchants to protect Admin access and downloaded archives.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Requests: contact us using the details in Contact. We may need to verify your identity and confirm you have authority for the relevant Shopify store.
Merchants can uninstall the App through Shopify Admin. Uninstalling may not automatically erase all historical server records immediately; see Retention.
The App is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the "Last updated" date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice as required by law or Shopify.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available". We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, except where such exclusions are prohibited by law.
No privacy policy can guarantee that no one will ever bring a legal claim. However, nothing in this policy is intended to waive non-waivable statutory rights, including certain consumer rights that some jurisdictions do not allow you to contract away.
