Latinizr — Privacy Policy

Who we are / data controller

JK Commerce Labs, Kermisdahlstr. 8, 47533 Kleve, Germany, is the data controller responsible for the Latinizr Shopify app.

What data we process

We process shipping-address fields of the merchant's customers — first name, last name, company, address line 1, address line 2, city, ZIP / postal code, province / state, country, and phone — as delivered on Shopify orders/create and orders/updated webhooks. Only the shipping address is processed; nothing else on the order is read or stored.

Why we process it (purpose & legal basis)

We transliterate (romanize) Cyrillic and Greek shipping addresses to the Latin alphabet using official standards so carriers (e.g. DB Schenker, UPS) can process and deliver the shipment. The legal basis is processing on behalf of the merchant — the app acts as a data processor for the merchant, who is the controller of their customers' order data — and the legitimate interest in delivering the goods.

How long we keep it (retention)

A snapshot of the original and the transliterated address is stored in the app's database for a uniform 90 days from the record's created_at — regardless of processing status (ok or error) — after which it is automatically deleted.

Who we share it with (sub-processors)

Our sub-processor is Cloudflare (Cloudflare Workers compute and Cloudflare D1 database). We do not sell customer data.

International transfers / data location

Data is stored in the EU region (Western Europe / WEUR). No transfer outside the EU is required for the transliteration function.

Your rights (data subject & merchant rights)

Data subjects and merchants have the standard access, rectification, erasure, and restriction rights, which can be exercised via the merchant or directly through the contact email below.

Deletion & compliance webhooks

Deletion is honored via Shopify's mandatory compliance webhooks customers/redact and shop/redact, and on request to the contact email below.
