ConversionWax

Last Updated: October 13, 2026

ConversionWax ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). Please read this policy carefully. By using our Services, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

We collect information you give us when you:

  • Create an account or register for the Services (name, email address, company name, job title)
  • Subscribe to a paid plan (billing address, payment card details processed by our payment processor)
  • Contact our support team or submit a form
  • Respond to surveys, promotions, or communications

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you access or use our Services, we automatically collect certain technical data, including:

  • Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps
  • Usage data: features accessed, click-stream data, session duration, and actions taken within the platform
  • Device information: hardware model, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information
  • Cookies and tracking technologies (see Section 5 for details)

1.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive information about you from third-party sources, such as:

  • OAuth providers (e.g., Google, LinkedIn) if you choose to sign in via a third-party account
  • Analytics partners and advertising networks
  • Publicly available data sources

1.4 Shopify Merchants and Their Customers

This section applies when a merchant installs the ConversionWax app from the Shopify App Store ("the Shopify app"). It covers information we handle about the merchant and about the merchant's customers and storefront visitors.

Our role. For data about a merchant's customers and visitors, ConversionWax acts as a processor (service provider) on behalf of the merchant. The merchant is the controller (business) and decides why the data is collected. We process it only to provide the service to that merchant. For data about the merchant itself (account, billing and support contact), we act as controller as described in the rest of this policy.

Information we receive from Shopify about merchants. Store domain, store settings needed to run the app, the plan the merchant selected, and billing status from Shopify.

Information we receive about a merchant's customers and visitors.

  • From Shopify order and customer notifications: Shopify customer ID, a SHA-256 hash of the customer's email address (we do not keep the plain email address in these reports), order ID, order totals (gross, subtotal, net sales), tax, shipping, discount, currency, financial status (for example paid or refunded), refund amounts, cancellation time, the customer's order count, the checkout token, and the landing page and referring site recorded on the order.
  • From our storefront pixel and theme extension, after the visitor gives consent: page views, product views, add to cart and checkout events (started and completed), the page address and referrer, and visit and session identifiers.
  • First-party cookies on the merchant's storefront: _cwid (visitor identifier), _cws (session state) and _cwvs (visit summary), which last up to about 400 days, and short-lived hand-off cookies (up to one day) that connect a completed checkout to the next page view. The pixel also keeps session state in the browser's local storage.
  • IP address: our servers receive the visitor's IP address with each request. We use it only to work out a coarse location (country and region) for personalization and reporting. We do not store or log the IP address itself.

Why we use it. To show the right content to the right visitor (personalization by location, audience, URL and schedule), to measure how content performs, and to give the merchant reports that connect visits, channels and orders (attribution). We do not use this data to advertise to the shopper.

Consent. Last Mile storefront tracking starts only after the shopper allows analytics (and, for the identity cookies, preferences) in Shopify's Customer Privacy settings. If the shopper declines or later withdraws consent, we stop collecting and delete the related cookies. Merchants are responsible for showing a consent banner where the law requires one.

Sale of data. ConversionWax never sells Shopify merchant or shopper data and never shares it for advertising.

Retention. We keep Shopify data while the app is installed. When the merchant uninstalls the app, Shopify sends a shop/redact request 48 hours later and we delete the store's Last Mile data then. A customers/redact request deletes one shopper's data.

Sub-processors and recipients. Google Cloud (hosting, data storage and analytics processing) and Shopify (platform and billing). We do not share this data with other third parties except as the merchant instructs or the law requires.

Requests from merchants and shoppers. Shopify sends us privacy requests on behalf of merchants and shoppers:

  • customers/data_request: we record the request, export the data to the merchant, and answer within 30 days.
  • customers/redact: we delete the data we hold for that shopper.
  • shop/redact: sent 48 hours after a merchant uninstalls the app. We delete the store's Last Mile data.

Shoppers should first contact the store they bought from, since the store is the controller. You can also email privacy@conversionwax.com and we will pass the request to the right merchant or act on the merchant's instruction. Merchants can email the same address.

Security and transfers. Data is processed and stored on Google Cloud in the United States.
