Variant Spec Sheets — data and privacy

Variant Spec Sheets is a Shopify app that stores fixed product-variant specifications and displays the selected variant's table through a theme app block.

Data the app stores

• Shop domain and the Shopify session needed to call the Admin API.
• App-owned product-variant metafields: model, dimensions, material, compatibility and description.
• Import runs, including matched product/variant IDs, titles, SKUs, before/after values and warnings. These are kept to provide preview, retry and guarded undo.
• App settings such as import-history retention, and a short-lived cache of Shopify App Pricing subscription status.

Data the app does not request

The app does not request customer, order, payment, inventory, discount or location data. It does not track storefront visitors and does not use advertising cookies.

Where data lives

Specifications are written to app-owned metafields on product variants in the merchant's Shopify store. Sessions, settings and import history are stored in the app's own database. Access is limited to the shop that created the record.

Retention and deletion

Import history is deleted after the merchant's retention setting (default 90 days, between 7 and 365 days). Deleting import history does not change product specifications. When the app is uninstalled, the app deletes its sessions, settings, subscription cache and import history. Shopify manages app-owned metafields according to its platform policies.

Privacy webhooks

The app implements Shopify's mandatory privacy webhooks. Because the app does not store customer records, customer data-request and redaction webhooks return without customer data. A shop redaction request deletes the shop's app records.
