Last Updated: March 1, 2025

Thank you for choosing to be part of our community at Solucommerce, doing business as AZ: Google Font & Custom Fonts ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about our policy or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

AZ: Google Font & Custom Fonts allows you to customize your store with Google Fonts or any custom font you want, supporting custom typography throughout your Shopify store to enhance your brand identity and user experience.

This Privacy Policy describes how personal information is collected, used, and shared when you install or use the App in connection with your Shopify-supported store.

When you install the App and use our services, you trust us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this privacy policy, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this privacy policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue the use of our App and our services.

This privacy policy applies to all information collected through the App, and/or any related services, sales, marketing or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy policy as the "Services").

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us.

1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information you disclose to us

In Short: We collect minimal personal information, strictly limited to what is necessary for the app to function.

When you install the App, we request minimal access to your Shopify account, strictly limiting our data collection to only what is essential for the font customization functionality:

  • Access to store information (name, URL) for authentication purposes only
  • Access to Theme assets - only for implementing custom fonts in your store's theme
  • Access to theme files necessary to inject custom font code
  • Access to Shopify's file system - only to reference the font files you upload, not to store them on our servers

The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make and the products and features you use. The personal information we collect can include the following:

  • Store Information. We collect your store name, URL, and business email only for account management and authentication.

  • Typography Settings Only. We do not store any font files on our servers. All font files are stored directly on Shopify's file system under your store's account. We only store your typography settings to implement your custom fonts.

All personal information that you provide to us must be true, complete and accurate, and you must notify us of any changes to such personal information.

Limited Technical Information

In Short: We collect minimal technical information required only for the proper functioning of the app.

We collect very limited technical information when you use our Services. This includes basic usage data necessary for troubleshooting and ensuring the app functions correctly. We specifically do not collect IP addresses, geolocation data, or extensive device information.

We use only essential cookies required for the app's functionality. We do not use tracking cookies or any cookies for marketing purposes.

  • Minimal Technical Data. We collect only essential technical information required to provide basic functionality and security of the app. We do not build individual user profiles or conduct user tracking.

2. HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We use your information only for essential purposes to provide the font customization functionality.

Our app follows data minimization principles, meaning we only use your information for the specific purpose of providing custom font functionality. We limit our data use to:

  • Basic App Functionality. We use theme access to implement your selected fonts throughout your Shopify store. We do not use your data for any other purposes beyond providing the core font service.

  • Technical Support Only. We only use store information when needed to provide technical support if you contact us with an issue. Your information is never used for marketing purposes.

  • Anonymized Performance Monitoring. We use completely anonymized data to monitor app performance and fix technical issues. This data cannot be traced back to individuals.

  • Security and Legal Compliance. We use minimal information needed to maintain app security and comply with legal requirements.

  • Typography Settings Only. We do not store any font files on our servers. All font files are uploaded and stored directly on your Shopify store's file system. We only store your typography settings to provide the app's core functionality.

We do not:

  • Use your data for marketing purposes
  • Build user profiles
  • Share your information with third parties for advertising
  • Track user behavior beyond the essential font functionality

3. WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH ANYONE?

In Short: We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.

We may process or share data based on the following legal basis:

  • Consent: We may process your data if you have given us specific consent to use your personal information in a specific purpose.

  • Legitimate Interests: We may process your data when it is reasonably necessary to achieve our legitimate business interests.

  • Performance of a Contract: Where we have entered into a contract with you, we may process your personal information to fulfill the terms of our contract.

  • Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process, such as in response to a court order or a subpoena (including in response to public authorities to meet national security or law enforcement requirements).

  • Vital Interests: We may disclose your information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.

More specifically, we may need to process your data or share your personal information in the following situations:

  • Vendors, Consultants and Other Third-Party Service Providers. We may share very limited data with third party vendors who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work. Examples include: hosting services and customer service. We have contracts in place with our data processors. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless we have instructed them to do it. They will not share your personal information with any organization apart from us. They will hold it securely and retain it for the period we instruct.

  • Business Transfers. We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

4. WHO WILL YOUR INFORMATION BE SHARED WITH?

In Short: We only share information with a minimal set of third parties necessary for service operation.

We only share and disclose your information with the following third parties. We have categorized each party so that you may easily understand the purpose of our data collection and processing practices. If we have processed your data based on your consent and you wish to revoke your consent, please contact us.

  • Cloudflare R2 (File storage for app configuration)

5. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We use only essential cookies required for app functionality.

We use only essential cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of our app. We do not use any cookies for tracking, analytics, or marketing purposes. These essential cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us maintain your session information while you use the app.

You can set your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, our app may not function properly.

6. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We keep your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy unless otherwise required by law.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Typography settings will be retained as long as you have the app installed and are actively using the service. If you uninstall the app, your settings will be deleted within 30 days. Since we do not store any font files on our servers (all font files are stored directly on your Shopify store's file system), we have no control over the retention of these files after app uninstallation.

7. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through a system of organizational and technical security measures.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that we cannot guarantee that the internet itself is 100% secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Services is at your own risk. You should only access the services within a secure environment.

Our security measures include:

  • Encryption of sensitive data
  • Regular security assessments
  • Limited access to personal information
  • Secure cloud infrastructure on Digital Ocean and Cloudflare R2
  • Regular security updates

8. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from or market to children under 18 years of age.

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent's use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at [email protected].

9. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: In some regions, such as the European Economic Area, you have rights that allow you greater access to and control over your personal information. You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time.

In some regions (like the European Economic Area), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability.

Opting out of email communications: If you receive any marketing or non-essential emails from us, you can unsubscribe by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in the emails or by contacting us at [email protected].

10. DATA BREACH

A privacy breach occurs when there is unauthorized access to or collection, use, disclosure or disposal of personal information. You will be notified about data breaches when we believe you are likely to be at risk or serious harm. For example, a data breach may be likely to result in serious financial harm or harm to your mental or physical well-being. In the event that we become aware of a security breach which has resulted or may result in unauthorized access, use or disclosure of personal information, we will promptly investigate the matter and notify the applicable Supervisory Authority not later than 72 hours after having become aware of it, unless the personal data breach is unlikely to result in a risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

11. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a Do-Not-Track ("DNT") feature or setting you can activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. As our app does not track users for marketing or analytics purposes, Do-Not-Track signals do not impact the functionality of our app. We do not track users across third-party websites, and therefore we do not respond to Do-Not-Track signals.

12. DO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Yes, if you are a resident of California, you are granted specific rights regarding access to your personal information.

California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users who are California residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge, information about categories of personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes and the names and addresses of all third parties with which we shared personal information in the immediately preceding calendar year.
