Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 May 2026

MerchantUp ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at merchantup.net. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights over it.

1. What data we collect

When you submit our contact form we collect:

  • Your email address
  • Your Shopify store URL
  • Any message or project details you choose to share

If you enable analytics (see section 4), we may also collect anonymised usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and geographic region.

2. How we use your data

  • To respond to your enquiry and deliver the free store audit you requested
  • To send project proposals, invoices, and project-related communications
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing

3. Legal basis (GDPR)

For visitors from the UK and European Economic Area, we process your data on the basis of legitimate interest (responding to a business enquiry you initiated) and, where relevant, contract performance (delivering services you have paid for).

4. Analytics

This site may use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised traffic data (pages viewed, session duration, general location). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.

5. Form submissions

Contact form submissions are processed by Netlify (our hosting provider). Netlify stores form data securely and forwards it to us by email. See Netlify's privacy policy for their data handling practices.

6. Data retention

We retain enquiry data for up to 2 years in case of follow-up or project resumption. If you become a client, we retain project-related records for 7 years for accounting purposes.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at hello@merchantup.net and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

This site uses no tracking cookies beyond those set by Google Analytics (if enabled). We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking.
