A brief overview of the application

Overview

This article gives a short overview of the Pandectes GDPR Compliance app for Shopify stores.

Pandectes helps merchants manage cookie consent, consent records, customer data requests, and privacy-related storefront pages. The exact setup depends on your store, your target regions, and the features available in your plan.

GDPR and merchants

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies when a business processes personal data of people in the European Economic Area.

Shopify merchants are responsible for reviewing the privacy laws that apply to their store and customers. Installing an app can help with technical setup, but it does not replace legal review.

Customer rights under GDPR

GDPR gives individuals several rights over their personal data, including the right to:

• Access their data
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of their data
• Receive a copy of their data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing

Your store should provide clear ways for customers to understand and manage these requests.

What Pandectes helps you manage

Pandectes GDPR Compliance helps Shopify merchants configure privacy and consent tools, including:

• Cookie consent banner

Display a banner and collect visitor consent choices.

• Consent tracking

Store consent records so merchants can review visitor choices.

• Customer data requests

Add options for customers to request access, correction, export, or deletion of their data.

• Cookies declaration

Display a structured list of cookies used on the store.

• Integrations

Connect consent choices with supported services such as Google Consent Mode, where configured.

Some features depend on the selected plan.

Merchant responsibility

Pandectes provides tools to help manage consent and data request workflows, but each merchant remains responsible for:

• Choosing the correct consent setup for their store
• Reviewing applicable privacy laws
• Keeping privacy policies accurate
• Responding to customer data requests when required
• Checking that third-party apps and tracking tools respect consent choices

Summary

Pandectes GDPR Compliance helps Shopify merchants manage consent, cookie information, and customer privacy requests from one app. It supports privacy workflows, but merchants should review their setup regularly and seek legal advice when needed.
