Compliance, but Make It Effortless
Let’s be honest: handling privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA usually feels like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube in the dark. You know it’s essential for your store’s foundation, but the complexity can be overwhelming.
We’ve completely transformed the "Policies" section of the app into a unified, high-performance Privacy Center. It’s a single point of control designed to save you time, eliminate guesswork, and help you build genuine trust with your shoppers.
Key takeaways
User-Centric Redesign: The "Policies" section was completely rebuilt to place ease of use at the center of the merchant experience.
Feature Consolidation: The app migrated from 5 complex tabs to 3 intuitive categories: General, Privacy Request Pages, and Design.
Regional Specialization: Supports specific automated pages for GDPR, CCPA (Do Not Sell/Share), PIPEDA, LGPD, and AU/NZ privacy acts.
Plan Accessibility: DSAR and CCPA "Do Not Sell" page generation moved from paid tiers to the Free plan.
Advanced Functionality: Standard plan now includes PDF data exports, one-click language sync, and full brand customization for emails/forms .
Store Empowerment: New "Preference Management" tool allows customers to self-update consent choices without merchant intervention.
1. A Unified Hub for Total Control
We’ve cleared the clutter. Instead of jumping between multiple complex settings, we’ve organized everything into three intuitive categories:
General: Manage your core contact information—like your Data Protection Officer (DPO) email and company address—and sync your store's primary language globally with a single toggle.
Privacy Request Pages: The engine room where you generate and manage your Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) forms for specific regions.
Design: A creative suite to customize the look and feel of your compliance interface to match your brand.
The interface is even smarter now, with a UI that clearly distinguishes between "Generated" pages and "Outdated" ones. If there’s a configuration gap, you’ll see an "Issues" badge to help you fix things instantly.
Compliance isn't one-size-fits-all. The new Privacy Center provides dedicated, pre-configured pages for all supported banner regions:
Specific Regional Support: Dedicated pages for Europe (GDPR), USA (US privacy laws & "Do Not Sell"), Canada (PIPEDA), Australia & New Zealand, and Brazil (LGPD).
"Rest of the World" Engine: Specialized logic to ensure you are covered by other privacy laws globally.
Clear Setup Guide: Once your pages are generated, an integrated 5-step guide walks you through exactly how to add these links to your store's footer.
Easier language selection: Apply your store's primary language to every privacy page with a single toggle.
Your privacy pages shouldn't look like a technical afterthought. We’ve introduced a Dual-Mode Previewer, allowing you to audit the mobile and desktop experience simultaneously for both forms and emails.
Visual Identity: Edit colors (backgrounds, text, and buttons) and upload your logo to ensure every request form feels like a natural part of your store.
Email Customization: Beyond forms, you can now customize the automated emails customers receive after submitting a request, including the subject line and branding.
We’ve shifted the power to your customers with Preference Management. Shoppers can now change their consent choices directly from the "Manage Privacy Preferences" tool without needing to reach out to support.
When it comes to record-keeping, we’ve upgraded your exports. In addition to CSV files, you can now generate audit-ready PDF exports with professional formatting, ensuring your legal archives are always organized and ready for review.
5. More Value for Every Plan
We believe professional-grade compliance is the foundation of every successful store. To support this, we’ve moved several high-value features to more accessible plans:
Free Plan Power-up: Generating privacy (DSAR) pages and "Do Not Sell" (CCPA) pages is now available on the Free plan.
Standard Plan Shift: Many features previously reserved for "Plus" users—like PDF exports, full design control, and the language sync toggle—have been moved to the Standard plan .
