Introducing the New Customer Privacy Section
Shopify has just released a dedicated Customer Privacy section within the Shopify Admin. This update makes it easier than ever for store owners to manage privacy settings, ensuring compliance and enhancing customer trust.
Key Features of the Customer Privacy Section
- Configure privacy settings tailored to specific regions, streamlining your global operations.
- Create and display a custom privacy policy to meet local and international standards.
- Implement a cookie banner to inform visitors of data collection practices and seek consent where required.
- Enable data opt-outs to give your customers better control over their information.
- View detailed data storage information to understand how customer data is being managed across your store.
These features empower you to expand into new markets while maintaining compliance with privacy regulations.
What’s Changing?
The new Customer Privacy section consolidates tools previously available in the Shopify Privacy & Compliance app. With this update, you no longer need the separate app—all privacy tools are now in one centralized location within Shopify Admin. Consequently, the Shopify Privacy & Compliance app will be discontinued as of March 1, 2024.
Next Steps
To explore and configure the new Customer Privacy section, visit your Shopify Admin. If you need guidance, refer to the Shopify Help Center for detailed instructions.
