Privacy Policy
Gift Card Express, “the App,” provides the ability for Shopify merchants to generate gift cards in bulk and optionally, email them to recipients.
This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected, used, stored, and shared when the App is installed and used in connection with a Shopify-supported store. It has been updated to reflect compliance with global privacy standards, including GDPR, CCPA, and other applicable regulations.

When the App is installed, the following information is accessed from the merchant’s Shopify account:
- Shop domain

- Owner name
Additionally, the following types of information may be collected:
- Merchant data: Information entered into the app, such as gift card details, including recipient name, email address, and expiration dates.
- Customer data: For merchants using the app, data such as customer name, email address, and order details may be collected to facilitate the creation and delivery of gift cards.
- App usage data: Information about how the app is used, including actions taken, IP address, browser type, time zone, and cookies (to improve app functionality and user experience).
