Privacy Policy

Scope

This policy covers the newsletter feature on shopify.ecom-store.pro. It is the only place on this site where we collect personal data tied to an identifiable individual. Browsing articles or downloading public files does not require an account and is not covered here.

What we collect

When you subscribe to the newsletter, we collect:

• Your email address — required, used as the unique identifier for the subscription and as the address we send updates to. The email is normalized to lowercase before storage.
• Category preferences — optional. If you don't pick categories, the subscription defaults to all available topics.
• A management token — a random, unguessable identifier generated server-side at sign-up. It is the key that lets you (and only you) view, update, or cancel your subscription without logging in.

We do not collect names, IP addresses for marketing purposes, browsing history, advertising identifiers, or any payment information through the newsletter form.

Why we collect it

• To send you the newsletter you explicitly signed up for, limited to the categories you selected.
• To let you change your category preferences or unsubscribe at any time, via the management token.
• To honor unsubscribe requests permanently — once you unsubscribe, the address is recorded so we don't accidentally email it again.

The legal basis is your consent, given by submitting the subscription form. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.

Where data is stored

Subscription records are stored in our managed backend database (Lovable Cloud, powered by Supabase). Access is restricted by row-level security policies and limited to the operator of this site.

The management token issued to you at sign-up is also saved in your browser's localStorage on the device you subscribed from, under the key newsletter-manage-token. That is what allows the site to recognize your subscription on subsequent visits and show the management UI without requiring a password. Clearing site data in your browser removes that token locally — it does not delete the subscription itself.

How emails are sent

Outgoing newsletter campaigns are sent through a third-party email service provider (ESP). Your address and category preferences are synchronized to that provider for the sole purpose of delivering the newsletter you signed up for. Transactional system emails (for example, an unsubscribe confirmation) are processed through our managed backend email infrastructure. We do not sell, rent, or share your address with third parties for their own marketing.

If a message permanently bounces or is reported as spam, the address is added to a suppression list to prevent further sending.

Retention

We keep active subscription records for as long as the subscription is active. When you unsubscribe, the record is marked inactive and retained as a suppression entry so the address is not re-added by mistake. You can request full deletion of any remaining record by emailing us (see below).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to or restrict processing. To exercise any of these rights:

• Unsubscribe — use the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email, or the “Unsubscribe” button in the subscription widget on the site.
• Update preferences — use the “Manage” button in the subscription widget on any page where it appears.
• Access or delete — email shopify@ecom-store.pro from the address you subscribed with.

Cookies and tracking

The newsletter feature itself does not set tracking cookies. The only client-side storage it uses is the localStorage entry described above, which exists solely to recognize your own subscription on your own device.

Children

The newsletter is intended for adult Shopify merchants and operators. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has subscribed, contact us and we will remove the record.

Changes to this policy

If we materially change how the newsletter handles personal data, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” date above. For substantive changes, active subscribers will be notified by email.
