Get a quick introduction to the Pandectes GDPR Compliance app with this brief overview. Understand the key features and functionalities to maximize the benefits of our platform.


GDPR & Merchants


The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any business that processes personal data of residents within the European Economic Area (EEA).


Merchant Responsibility


Each merchant is responsible for ensuring compliance with the data protection laws of the regions in which they operate or serve customers. Using Shopify alone does not guarantee GDPR compliance.


Shopify merchants must take extra steps, such as integrating a trusted GDPR app, to meet their legal obligations.


Customers' Rights Under GDPR


GDPR grants data subjects (i.e. your store visitors and customers) several essential rights. These include the ability to:


  • Request deletion (erasure) of their personal data
  • Request correction (rectification) of inaccurate data
  • Access their stored data
  • Receive an export of their data in a portable format


Merchants are obligated to fulfill these requests within a limited time frame and in a verifiable manner.


What Pandectes GDPR Compliance Offers


The Pandectes GDPR Compliance app is designed to help Shopify merchants address GDPR obligations not fully covered by Shopify’s default features.


The application performs three core functions:


  • Notify users about your store’s cookie and data usage policies
  • Obtain and store valid consent for data processing activities
  • Provide customers with tools to manage their personal data (request access, deletion, etc.)


Why Choose Pandectes?


Even our free plan includes all essential GDPR compliance features, ensuring your store meets legal requirements and builds trust with visitors.


By integrating Pandectes GDPR Compliance, you stay on the right side of the law and demonstrate a commitment to transparency and user privacy.
