Privacy Policy
Canopy is an automated growth platform for Shopify stores. This policy explains what data we access, why, where it goes, and the control you keep over it. In plain English — the same way the app is written.
1 Who we are
Canopy is operated by BRND Labs Limited, a company registered in England & Wales, no. 09599940, at MB21, More Secure, Houndmills Road, Basingstoke, RG21 6YU ("Canopy", "we", "us"). For anything in this policy, reach us at hello@canopyapp.co. Where UK/EU data protection law applies, we are the data controller for the account data described below and a processor for the store data we handle on your behalf.
2 The data we access, and why
Canopy only accesses what you authorise when you install the app and connect a platform. We access it to build your P&L, surface findings, and — only when you approve — make the change.
From your Shopify store
- Orders, products, customers and inventory — to compute real profit, margins, CAC and LTV.
- Themes and files — to audit your storefront and, on approval, write changes such as image alt text or a draft theme.
From the platforms you connect
- Meta Ads & Google Ads — spend and performance for your P&L, and, on your approval, budget or campaign changes.
- Klaviyo — email and SMS performance, and drafts we build for your approval. Canopy never sends on its own.
- Slack (optional) — outbound notifications only; it can never reach a customer or read a message.
Meta business data
When you connect Meta, Canopy uses your authorisation to list the ad accounts available to you and read performance for the accounts you select. This includes account and campaign identifiers, ad creative, spend, impressions, clicks and purchase conversions. We use this information for your store’s profit reporting, ad performance analysis and growth recommendations. Where you use an available ad-management feature, Canopy uses the connection to carry out the campaign or budget action you authorise. Access depends on the permissions you grant and the features available to your account.
Meta credentials are stored encrypted. Disconnecting Meta in Canopy’s Connections screen clears those stored credentials and account selections. Historical reporting is retained; disconnecting is not a request to delete all historical data. You can also remove Canopy from your Facebook Business Integrations settings to withdraw its authorisation at Meta.
Google user data
When you connect Google Ads, Canopy reads the performance and spend of the Google Ads account you select — your own account — through the Google Ads API, and uses it for one purpose: the profit analytics and findings we build for your store. If you also connect Google Drive from the Assets panel, Canopy reads only the folder you choose and the folders inside it, read-only: file names, Google's own thumbnails, and the photo details Drive already holds, so your assets can be listed and tagged. The files stay in Drive — we don't copy them into Canopy. Your Google credentials are encrypted at rest, as in section 3, and everything we derive from them is kept isolated to your store. We never sell Google user data, never use it for advertising, and never share it with anyone beyond the service providers in section 5, who process it only to deliver the feature you are using. Canopy's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
3 What we store
- The computed P&L, metrics, cohorts and findings we generate for your store.
- A record of every action Canopy proposed or executed (the activity log), including whether a safety rule stopped it.
- A synced mirror of the store records above, so the app is fast and works when a platform is briefly down.
- Your settings, targets and plan.
- Platform credentials, encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM). They are never shown again after you enter them, and never written to logs.
Every store's data is isolated from every other store (multi-tenant separation by store).
4 What we never do
- We never sell your data, or share it for anyone else's advertising.
- We never share it with third parties except the platforms you yourself connect, and the service providers below who help us run Canopy.
- We never contact your customers. Email and SMS go out only through your own Klaviyo, only after your typed confirmation.
5 Service providers (sub-processors)
We use a small set of providers to run the platform. They process store data only to deliver the features you use, under their own security and privacy commitments.
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Shopify | The store you install Canopy on; the source of your commerce data. |
| Meta, Google, Klaviyo | The ad and email platforms you connect, for analytics and approved actions. |
| Railway | Hosting and the Postgres database where your data lives. |
| Anthropic (Claude) | Powers the strategist and checks — the analysis behind findings and plans. |
| Google (Gemini) | Generates ad-creative images when you use that feature. |
6 Keeping it, and deleting it
We keep your data for as long as Canopy is installed and you have an account. When you uninstall, we stamp the account uninstalled and wipe your stored platform credentials. We honour Shopify's mandatory privacy webhooks — a customer-data request, a customer-redact, and a shop-redact — and delete the relevant data on request. To ask for deletion directly, email hello@canopyapp.co.
Request deletion of Meta-connected data
Email hello@canopyapp.co with the subject “Canopy data deletion” and your Shopify store domain. Tell us whether you want Meta-connected data or your entire Canopy account deleted. Do not send passwords or access tokens. We may ask you to confirm that you control the store before processing the request. We will confirm its scope and completion, and explain any records that must be retained for a legal obligation.
7 Your rights
Under UK/EU GDPR (and comparable laws) you can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to restrict or object to certain processing. We'll respond within the time the law allows. You may also complain to your data protection authority — in the UK, the ICO.
8 The marketing site & cookies
Our marketing site uses only what's needed to run and to understand basic, aggregate traffic. We don't run third-party advertising trackers on it.
9 Changes & contact
We'll post any material change here and update the date above. Questions, requests, or anything that feels off: hello@canopyapp.co.
