Volume Discounts ("the app") is developed by Emuye (Amanuel Getachew, Milan, Italy). This page explains, in plain language, what data the app collects when a merchant installs it, why, and what it does not do.
When a merchant installs the app on their Shopify store, we store a single record for that store in our database, containing:
myshopify.com domainThis is standard information every embedded Shopify app needs to operate. We do not collect anything beyond it.
We do not store shopper or customer data. The discount itself — the logic that decides what price a shopper pays at checkout — runs as a Shopify Function, a small program that executes on Shopify's own infrastructure, sandboxed, at checkout time. Cart contents, customer details, and order data involved in that calculation never reach our servers.
The app reads and writes discount configuration through the Shopify Admin API so the merchant can set up quantity-break and spend-threshold rules from the app's dashboard. It also reads recent order data through the same API, scoped to the merchant's own store, to show aggregate performance statistics in the merchant's dashboard — for example, how many orders used the discount and how much was saved in total. We do not export, sell, or share this data with any third party, and we do not use it for anything other than displaying it back to the merchant who owns the store.
The app does not run any analytics or tracking scripts, does not use cookies for tracking, and does not share, sell, or rent any data to third parties. Nothing collected here is used for advertising.
When a merchant uninstalls the app, we delete the stored record for that
store automatically (handled by Shopify's app/uninstalled
webhook). We also honor Shopify's mandatory GDPR compliance webhooks:
customers/data_request — because we never store customer
data, there is nothing to return; the request is acknowledged.customers/redact — same as above: no customer data is
held, so there is nothing to erase.shop/redact — sent some time after uninstall as a backstop;
it deletes any remaining store record, in case the uninstall webhook was
missed.The app's database is hosted in the EU, on a server operated directly by the developer — not resold or shared hosting, and not a third-party data processor beyond the underlying infrastructure provider.
If what the app stores or how it uses that data changes, this page will be updated and the effective date above will change accordingly.
