Permissions & data
Exact Shopify permissions the app requests, what data it stores, and the uninstall / retention policy.
Shopify permissions
When you install, Shopify asks you to approve these permissions — here’s what each one is actually for:
| Permission | Why the app needs it |
|---|---|
| View and edit products | Power the product picker and automatic grouping (title pattern, tag, AI), and attach each group’s display data to its products. Your titles, prices, variants, and inventory are never changed. |
| View themes | Detect whether the app embed and blocks are active, and recognize your theme to match its layout. |
| View store languages | List your storefront languages for translations. |
| Manage files | Publish the storefront data file and store custom swatch images you upload. |
| Manage metaobjects | Store each group’s data so your theme can render it instantly. |
| Manage pixels & view customer events | Run the lightweight analytics pixel that powers engagement tracking. |
| Read product listings | Let the storefront widget show live prices and availability. |
Exact technical scope list
read_products, write_products, read_themes, read_locales, read_files, write_files, read_metaobjects, write_metaobjects, read_metaobject_definitions, write_metaobject_definitions, write_pixels, read_customer_events, unauthenticated_read_product_listings
What the app stores
- Your groups, options, values, styles, and settings.
- Basic shop metadata (store name, email, plan, languages) to run the app and send lifecycle emails.
- Aggregated, anonymous engagement counters — impressions and clicks per group/surface. No personal shopper data is stored.
Group with AI
When you use Group with AI or Suggest with AI in Group by tag, the products you choose to scan are sent to our AI provider — titles, tags and vendors only. Prices, inventory, customers and orders are never sent. Nothing is sent unless you start a scan.
Full details are in Globo’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Privacy requests
Shopify forwards privacy requests to every app you have installed, so there’s nothing you need to send this app separately.
- A shopper asks for a copy of their data — the app has none to hand over. It never reads your customers or your orders, and its engagement counters are anonymous.
- A shopper asks to be deleted — likewise, there’s nothing stored about them to delete.
- You uninstall the app — Shopify asks the app to erase your store’s data. That happens on the schedule below.
Data retention
- On uninstall — storefront widgets stop immediately (Shopify revokes the app). Your configuration is retained for 30 days.
- Reinstall within 30 days — groups, styles, and settings come back automatically.
- After 30 days — all shop data is permanently deleted from the app’s systems.
Emails
The app sends a few lifecycle emails to the store’s contact address: a welcome on first install, a one-time reminder if no group exists after ~24 hours, and a feedback request after uninstalling. That’s all — no marketing lists.
Billing
The app is free and contains no billing integration — it will never create a charge on your Shopify invoice.
