Permissions and data

The Shopify access the app requests, what it does with your data, and what happens when you uninstall.

What the app can access

Shopify asks you to approve this access when you install.

Access	Why the app needs it
Products — read and write	To show your products and variants in the pickers when you assign an option set or link an add-on, and to create add-on products when you choose New product
Product inventory and listings — read	So the widget can read the product it is rendering for, and so Out of stock options knows when an add-on has run out
Themes — read	To tell you on Theme Setup whether the app embed is enabled, and to identify your theme for Match theme style
Files — read and write	For images and fonts you upload — swatch images, Personalizer backgrounds, custom fonts — and for files your customers upload
Orders — read	For the figures on Analytics, and to run your automation workflows
Draft orders — read and write	An alternative checkout route, in which a cart is sent to a draft-order invoice rather than the standard checkout
Store languages — read	So Translations offers exactly the languages your store publishes
Product publishing — read and write	To manage which sales channels an option set applies to, and to publish a generated add-on product so it can be bought
Cart pricing — read and write	The mechanism that applies add-on prices at checkout. See How it works
Storefront scripts and app proxy	How the widget is delivered to your storefront and how it talks back to the app

Requested only when you use the feature

Some access is requested later rather than during the install:

• Write access to orders, the first time you open the Automations tab, because the order note and order tag workflows change the order. No workflow runs until you approve it.

• Customer data, the first time you select specific customers in a customer rule.

In both cases, the app explains what it is requesting and Shopify displays its own approval screen, the same as during the original install.

What the app does not ask for

Not requested	Consequence
Write access to orders, at install	The app cannot change an order's contents, prices, or fulfillment unless you enable Automations
Payment or payout access	The app never handles money. All charging is Shopify's
Write access to your theme's code	The app cannot alter your templates or Liquid
Access to your Shopify account or billing	Plan changes go through Shopify's own billing screens

Your customers' data

The app accesses customer data only where it is required, and only through Shopify:

• the answers a customer gives, and any file they upload

• the design they created, if you use the Personalizer

• their tags, account status, and country, which are read at page load to evaluate your customer and country rules

You decide what customers are asked for. A field asking for a date of birth, an ID number, or a phone number puts that data on your orders, and handling it appropriately is your responsibility as the merchant. Ask only for what you need to fulfill the order.

The app supports Shopify's mandatory privacy notifications, so a customer data request, a customer erasure request, or a store erasure request raised through Shopify is handled. Raise these requests through Shopify's own privacy tools rather than by email, so they reach every app on your store rather than only this one.

Uninstalling

Removed automatically	Left in your store
The app's access to your store	New productd add-on products — ordinary products in your catalog, tagged globo-product-options
The app embed and anything the app added to your theme	Line item properties on existing orders, which are part of those orders' records
The checkout pricing mechanism	Files uploaded to your Shopify files, which belong to you

There is no theme code to remove manually.

Export before you uninstall. Option sets cannot be recovered once the app's data is erased. A CSV export takes a few seconds. See Import and export.

The app's privacy policy and terms of service are linked from its Shopify App Store listing at apps.shopify.com/product-options-pro, which is always the current version. Those documents are the authoritative statement. This page explains what the access is used for. See Contact support if you would like your stored data removed after uninstalling.
