Last updated: December 30, 2025

Introduction

Supply Watch ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our inventory management application integrated with Shopify.

What We Do NOT Do

Supply Watch is a "read-mostly" app that operates entirely through Shopify's secure API. We want to be clear about what we don't do:

No code on your storefront - We don't inject scripts, snippets, or any code into your theme
No theme modifications - Your store design remains completely untouched
No customer personal data - We only read order quantities, not customer names, emails, or addresses
No payment access - We cannot see or process any payment or financial data
No checkout modifications - Your checkout process is never affected
No customer emails - We never contact your customers directly

Your customers will never see or interact with Supply Watch. The app lives completely outside your storefront and only communicates with Shopify through their official, secure API.
