Privacy Policy

Effective date: February 17, 2026

Stakeout ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Stakeout application on the Shopify App Store and the website onstakeout.com. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our service.

1. Information We Collect

Store Information

When you install Stakeout on your Shopify store, we access and store data necessary to provide the service. This includes your store name, store URL, store owner email address, and product catalog data (titles, prices, and identifiers) for the products you choose to monitor.

Usage Data

We collect information about how you interact with the app, including pages visited within the app, features used, report schedules configured, and timestamps of activity. This helps us improve the service.

Competitor Price Data

Stakeout collects publicly available pricing information from Amazon and Google Shopping for the products you choose to monitor. This data is collected from public listings and does not include any personal information about third-party sellers or buyers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain the Stakeout service
  • Generate competitor price reports based on your selected products
  • Send you scheduled reports and price change notifications
  • Communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests
  • Improve and develop new features for the service
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: Third-party services that help us operate the app (hosting, email delivery, analytics). These providers only access data necessary to perform their functions.
  • Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
  • Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Shopify Data

Stakeout accesses your Shopify store data through the Shopify API with the permissions you grant during installation. We only request the minimum scopes necessary to provide the service. We do not access your customers' personal information, payment details, or order data.

Our use of Shopify store data complies with the Shopify API Terms of Service.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your store data and competitor price history for as long as your account is active. If you uninstall Stakeout from your Shopify store, we will delete your store data and associated reports within 30 days. Aggregated, anonymized data that cannot identify you may be retained for analytics purposes.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing of your data
  • Request portability of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@onstakeout.com.

8. Cookies

The Stakeout app uses cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session within Shopify and to remember your preferences. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. The onstakeout.com marketing website does not use cookies.

9. Third-Party Links

Our service may contain links to third-party websites (such as Amazon and Google Shopping product pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites.

10. Children's Privacy

Stakeout is a business tool designed for Shopify merchants. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the effective date above. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
