This Privacy Policy details how your data, including personally identifiable information, is collected, used, and shared when you visit the Wholesale Helper (“Wholesale Helper”, “we” or “us”) website (https://www.wholesalehelper.io), install one of our products, use our apps, including use from a third party website such as an e-commerce website on Shopify, submit any personal information to us, or contact us (collectively, the “service”). Wholesale Helper takes reasonable steps to protect user privacy consistent with the guidelines set forth in this Privacy Policy and with all applicable U.S. laws and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this policy, “user” or “you” means any person using the service as described above.
‍
By accessing our website, viewing our Shopify app store pages, using the service, integrating with our systems, or by otherwise providing us with personal information, you are accepting the terms described in the Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy was last updated on the date indicated above. It may change from time to time, and any changes will be posted on this page. We will give more prominent notice in case of significant changes to our policies. Your continued use of our services signify your acceptance of any changes to our terms. Contact us at themes@wholesalehelper.io immediately for any concerns or questions regarding this Privacy Policy.
‍
This Privacy Policy does not apply to services offered by third-party, external companies or individuals, including third party services used by Wholesale Helper. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the applicable privacy policies of these third party services.

Wholesale Helper takes reasonable steps to protect personal information processed or stored through the service.  However, no Internet transmission is ever completely secure. Breaches may occur and we cannot guarantee against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction of your personal information. We advise you to exercise caution when deciding what data to send us through the Internet.
‍
We regularly review our information collection, storage and processing practices, including physical security measures, provided by our hosting providers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of the service, you must take reasonable steps to keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. If you use another account to log on to a secure part of our Sites, then please take reasonable steps to keep that password secure too. If you think that any of your passwords might have been compromised, then please let us know immediately at themes@wholesalehelper.io.
‍
Your account is password-protected so that only you have access to your account information. In order to maintain this protection, do not give your password to anyone.   You should never share devices. This will help protect your information entered on public terminals from disclosure to third parties. 

We use the data we collect to provide the service, improve our service, and offer new features such as analytics. Personal information, which may be stored in our contact management systems, is used for providing customer support, administrative purposes, and conducting marketing activities for our services.

Personal information, user data, and tracking data are aggregated for the purpose of generating statistical insights about our service and its users. Aggregated data cannot be used to identify any specific person, and as such no longer constitutes personal information. We analyze aggregated data to understand and improve our services.

We do not sell your information to third parties. We may, however, use a third party service or agent to store, process, or share information to perform business-related functions. We have carefully selected these service providers and agents. We may also disclose your personal information to government regulators and other authorities who require reporting of processing activities in certain circumstances. We seek to ensure that all third parties respect the security of your personal information and treat it in accordance with applicable laws. 

We take reasonable steps to ensure any third party service we use protects your privacy, but they are not covered by this policy. 

Due to the nature of our apps operating on top of the Shopify platform, much of the personal information you enter on our app, including name, email addresses, and password is sent to the Shopify platform. Shopify processes and stores your information to give you the service. We do not store this information ourselves. Because Shopify holds the data, they may share information with other 3rd parties, and you should read Shopify’s Privacy Policy to understand how your data on their platform might be shared. 

An example of how data entered through our apps might be shared with a third party through Shopify is when a customer of a merchant who uses our service signs up through the Wholesale Signup Form. Signup information is sent to Shopify to process the account creation and management, and we do not store the information ourselves. The customer’s account information might be shared with other apps which the merchant gives explicit permission to through Shopify.

Non-personal information that is entered on our app, such as discounts created, might also be accessed by third party apps  on the Shopify platform, or which are installed on your store (if these third party apps have access to your store). Such third party apps  may  access this information from Shopify itself through its API or direct access to a store’s code, and are typically granted access to this information by you when you use their service. We encourage you to go to these third party apps’ privacy policies to understand how they use your information.

Non-personally identifiable information, including aggregated data and derived insights, may be shared with third parties in line with our business interests. Examples include sharing total sales generated through our apps to potential investors, prospective customers, and on marketing material.

Wholesale Helper may be obligated to provide personal information to comply with legal requirements, and in such cases prior notification may not be required before your data is disclosed. If you are using our service as an employee or contractor of an entity who avails our services, said entity is treated as our customer and as such we may disclose information related to your usage to said entity.

Users from the European Union and California, by virtue of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) respectively, have the right to access information we have on them, update personal information, and delete information unique to them. This is a right we extend to all our users.

Please course requests of this nature to themes@wholesalehelper.io. Deletion of data is done within 90 days of the request, unless otherwise agreed with the concerned user.

If you are a European resident, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to servers located in the United States. We note that we process your information in order to fulfill the service we provide to you, such as when you make an order using a Wholesale Helper app, or otherwise to pursue legitimate business interests described above.

Under the GDPR, you have a number of rights regarding the processing of your personal information. You may:
1. Request access to the personal  information that we process about you
2. Request correction or rectification of your personal  information
3. Request erasure of your personal  information
4. Request restriction of processing of your personal  information
5. Object to the processing of your personal  information

We securely store your data at [enter the location and describe security precautions taken]. We consider several factors to determine how long we keep your data. We consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
