How Returndotai handles your data

RETURNDOTAI PRIVACY POLICY

1. INTRODUCTION

Your privacy is important to us. Returndotai ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect, use, and share it. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding personal data collected through our returns management platform for Shopify merchants (the "Service").

BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.

  • Customer-facing returns portals hosted by us

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

3.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information that you provide when you:

3.3 Information About Your Customers

When a merchant uses the Service, we process personal information about the merchant's own customers (for example name, email address, phone number, shipping address, order and return details, and photos or notes submitted with a return). We process this information on the merchant's behalf and under the merchant's instructions, to run the returns portal and related notifications. The merchant is responsible for how it uses that information and for its own privacy notice to its customers. If you are a customer of a merchant and want to access, correct or delete your information, please contact that merchant directly. If a merchant needs a data processing agreement, they can request one at privacy@returndotai.com.

6. COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the website and Service to work, to analyze usage (Google Analytics), and to provide support chat (Crisp). You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the website works.

7. DATA SECURITY

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
