Last updated: May 6, 2026

Overview

AFN Variant Linker ("the App") is a Shopify app developed by AFN Digital that links separate Shopify products together and displays them like variants on the storefront. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it.

What Data We Collect

  • Store domain - collected during Shopify OAuth to identify your store.
  • Shopify access tokens - required for API access to manage product links. Stored securely in our database.
  • Product page views - anonymous event data including product ID, device type (desktop/mobile/tablet), and timestamp. No customer personally identifiable information (PII) is collected.
  • Variant link clicks - anonymous event data including product ID, group handle, device type, and timestamp. No customer PII is collected.
  • Support request submissions - name, email, and message, submitted voluntarily by the merchant when contacting support.

What We Do NOT Collect

  • Customer personal information (no names, emails, addresses, or payment info)
  • Browsing history outside the store
  • Cookies on the storefront

How We Store Your Data

All data is stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Neon (encrypted at rest at the infrastructure level). Our application is hosted on Fly.io with secure, isolated infrastructure. All data transmission uses TLS/SSL encryption.

Data Retention

Analytics data (page views, link clicks) is retained until the merchant resets it or uninstalls the app. When you uninstall AFN Variant Linker, all your data is automatically deleted via our GDPR webhook handler. No data is retained after uninstallation.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the App:

  • Shopify - API access for product and storefront management.
  • Neon - PostgreSQL database hosting.
  • Fly.io - Application hosting and infrastructure.
  • Resend - Email notifications for support and account updates.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any other third parties.

GDPR Compliance

We comply with GDPR requirements. As a merchant, you can request deletion of all your data at any time by contacting us. Upon app uninstallation, all data is automatically purged through Shopify's mandatory GDPR webhooks.
