GroupBuy Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

GroupBuy is a Shopify app that lets a store offer a discount when shoppers buy the same product together. This policy explains what GroupBuy stores when a merchant installs it, and why.

What we store

• Store details: the store's Shopify domain and the access token Shopify issues to the app.
• Settings: which products offer group deals, and the discount, group size and time limit for each.
• Group deal records: for each order placed through a group deal, the order ID, order number, order total and payment transaction ID. We need these to capture, cancel or refund the payment depending on whether the group fills in time.

We don't store customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, shipping addresses or payment card details. Payments are handled entirely by Shopify checkout.

How we use it

• To create each group deal, its discount code and its time limit.
• To capture payments when a group fills, and cancel or refund them when it doesn't.
• To show the merchant how their group deals are performing.

We don't sell this data, share it with third parties, or use it for advertising.

Retention and deletion

• Order details for a group deal (order ID, order number, total and transaction ID) are deleted automatically 90 days after the deal ends. Only the deal's overall figures, such as its status and total revenue, are kept for the merchant's dashboard.
• When Shopify asks us to delete a customer's data, we remove the order ID, order number, total and transaction ID for each of that customer's orders.
• When a merchant uninstalls GroupBuy, Shopify notifies us 48 hours later and we permanently delete all of that store's data.

Where data is processed

GroupBuy receives order notifications from Shopify when a group order is placed or cancelled, and uses them only to update the group deal. The app and its database are hosted by Fly.io in the United States. We don't use other services that receive store or customer data.

Security

Data is kept in an access-controlled database used only to run the app.

Questions and requests

Merchants and their customers can ask to see, correct or delete their data by emailing happymario123@hotmail.com. If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. See also our Terms of Service.
