Klyx Store Backup by KLYX — how we handle your data

← Back to app page
Last Updated: September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how KLYX ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you install and use the Klyx Store Backup Shopify application ("the App"). By installing the App, you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

When you install and use the App, we collect the following information:

  • Store domain and owner email — to identify and authenticate your Shopify store.
  • Shopify OAuth access token — stored encrypted to make API calls on your behalf. Never exposed in plain text.
  • Backup data snapshots — JSON representations of your store's products, collections, pages, blogs, articles, themes, customers, metafields, metaobjects, navigation menus, and store settings — collected solely to provide the backup and restore service.
  • Alert email and settings — the email you configure for notifications, and your chosen backup schedule, resource toggles, and retention preferences.
  • Restore history and logs — records of restore operations for your audit trail.
  • Google Drive refresh token (optional) — stored encrypted only if you connect Google Drive for backup export.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use collected information solely to provide the App's services:

  • Perform scheduled and on-demand full backups of your store data.
  • Allow you to restore your store to any previous backed-up state — full store, resource type, or individual item.
  • Send email notifications for backup success, failure, large change detection, and restore completions.
  • Display backup history, storage usage, and diff comparisons in the app dashboard.
  • Process Shopify billing for paid subscription plans via the Shopify Billing API.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Data Storage & Security

  • Encryption at rest: Access tokens and Google Drive tokens are encrypted using AES-256-CBC before being stored in the database.
  • Database: Backup metadata and JSON snapshots are stored in a PostgreSQL database hosted on Supabase with SSL/TLS enforced for all connections.
  • Binary file storage: Product images and theme asset files (if enabled) are stored in Cloudflare R2 object storage — US or EU region per your preference — with no public access. Files are stored under a path scoped to your shop ID.
  • Transmission: All data is transmitted over HTTPS only. No unencrypted connections are permitted.
  • Isolation: All database queries are scoped to your shopId — merchants cannot access other shops' data.

4. Data Retention

  • Active backups: Backup snapshots older than your configured retention period (7–365 days) are automatically deleted via scheduled cleanup jobs.
  • Upon uninstall: All your shop data is scheduled for deletion within 30 days of uninstalling the App, per our GDPR uninstall webhook handler.
  • Immediate deletion: You can delete all backup data at any time via the "Delete All Backup Data" button in App Settings.
  • Customer data processed via Shopify GDPR webhooks is handled per the timelines in Section 6 below.

5. Third-Party Services

The App relies on the following third-party services. Each has its own privacy policy:

6. GDPR Compliance
