Privacy policy

Last updated September 26, 2026.

Who we are

GeoBeacon is a Shopify app operated by Beacon Wave Studio (“we”). This policy explains what information the app handles when a merchant installs it on a Shopify store and when shoppers visit a storefront that uses it.

Information we store

Store data. When you install the app we store your store's myshopify domain and the Shopify access token the app needs to work. We do not store customer, order or payment data.

Your settings. Rules, popup texts and behaviour settings are saved as an app-owned metafield in your own Shopify store. Our servers only read and write them while you use the app's admin pages.

Server logs. Our servers keep standard request logs (timestamps, paths, response codes) for up to 30 days to diagnose problems.

Information we do not collect

GeoBeacon does not track shoppers. The storefront script is served by Shopify's CDN as part of your theme and asks Shopify — not us — which country a visitor is browsing from. It never sends the visitor's location, IP address, pages viewed or any other data to our servers, and it sets no cookies. The only thing it stores is the visitor's own “go” or “stay” choice, in their browser's local storage, so the popup is not shown again.

How we use it

Only to provide the app: authenticating with Shopify, saving your settings and responding to support requests. We do not sell or share data with third parties, and we do not use it for advertising.

Where it lives

Your settings stay in Shopify. Our own database (store domain and access token) runs on servers hosted by Hetzner.

Retention and deletion

When you uninstall the app we delete the access token and store record immediately and honour Shopify's data-erasure webhooks. Shopify removes the app-owned settings metafield on uninstall.

Your rights

You can ask us to export or erase any information we hold about your store by emailing hello@beaconwavestudio.com.

Changes

We will update this page when the policy changes and note the date at the top.
