Shopify permissions and data used by Rankvia

Content permissions and the Shopify app billing relationship are separate. The current integration is focused on app, content, publishing, and Shopify-managed subscription workflows-not customer or order management.

These are the only Shopify content scopes currently requested. A permission can support a class of Shopify actions; Rankvia uses it only for the supported workflows described here.

Rankvia analyzes the public website associated with the store to build the Business Profile and understand the business, existing pages, products or offers, audience, positioning, and search context. This public website analysis is separate from the Shopify permissions granted to the app.

Rankvia uses Shopify write access for supported publishing workflows initiated or enabled by the merchant. It can create or update supported Shopify blog articles and pages, including their content, selected destination, draft or live state, SEO information, and supported article media.

Installing the Shopify app does not by itself start publishing articles automatically.

The current Rankvia Shopify app does not request customer, order, product, inventory, theme, or storefront scopes. The current Shopify workflow does not use app access to read customer records or orders, manage fulfillment, change inventory or product pricing, or modify theme settings and unrelated store configuration.

If your Rankvia subscription is managed through Shopify, Rankvia also receives the subscription state required to determine which Rankvia plan is active for the store. This can include the current plan, subscription status, approved changes, a scheduled upcoming plan, and cancellation state.

This billing relationship is separate from Shopify content permissions such as reading or writing blog content. Rankvia does not receive merchant payment-card details through Shopify app billing.

When Rankvia is installed, Shopify authorizes the app to perform the actions covered by the permissions approved for that store. Rankvia uses this authorization to maintain the Shopify association and perform the supported Shopify workflows.

After content is sent to Shopify, Rankvia keeps the publication information needed to show that content has already been transferred and to preserve its Shopify state when you return later.

Information obtained through Shopify can become part of the context needed to provide the applicable Rankvia functionality. For broader information about Rankvia's data processing and privacy practices, see the Privacy Policy.

Uninstalling the Rankvia Shopify app ends the active Shopify app connection. Future Shopify publishing is disconnected, while content already published to Shopify is not automatically removed from the store. Rankvia retains enough disconnected connection and publication context to support a normal reinstall; Rankvia-created content, planning, and account data are not deleted by uninstalling the Shopify app.

If a future Rankvia feature requires additional Shopify access, Shopify may require you to review and approve updated permissions before the app can use that access. Rankvia does not silently gain unrelated permissions through the current installation.
