Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureGuardianStack helps UK Shopify merchants review customer-data handling across apps, vendors, retention and tracking. Four agents prepare draft DPA templates for review, identify tracking that may operate before consent, compare record age with the retention period you set, and organise findings into an audit trail. Findings include reasoning, evidence and relevant rules or guidance. The initial audit is read-only.
A customer says "delete my data" or "send me everything you have on me". PrivacyPilot gives you a one-click, fully audited process to handle customer data related requests. Every action is timestamped in an exportable audit log. Deletion requests anonymize the customer record in one click and walk you through erasing order history.
- AI agents generate DPAs, audit consent gaps, flag retention issues automatically
- Compliance score + penalty range based on real UK ICO enforcement methodology
- Glass Box transparency — see how every score is calculated. No black box.
- Read-only scan. No theme edits, no downtime, marketing stays running.
- Delete customer data name, email, phone, notes, and addresses with one click.
