This Privacy Policy explains how HS: Theme Publisher (“App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you install or use our Shopify application.
By installing or using HS: Theme Publisher, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. About HS: Theme Publisher
HS: Theme Publisher is a Shopify application that helps merchants schedule and automate store changes, including themes, products, collections, pages, blog articles, metaobjects, and other supported storefront content.
The App is designed to help merchants manage scheduled store launches and automated workflows without requiring manual changes at the scheduled time.

Depending on how you use the App, this may include:
Shopify Store Information

Account and Support Information
If you contact us for support, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address, store information, and details of your support request.
3. Customer Data
HS: Theme Publisher is primarily designed to manage Shopify store resources and does not require customer personal information to provide its core scheduling and publishing functionality.
If customer-related information is made available to the App through Shopify APIs as part of a supported merchant workflow, we process only the information necessary for the relevant functionality and in accordance with Shopify’s requirements.
We do not sell customer personal information.
4. How We Use Information
We use collected information only for legitimate purposes related to providing and operating the App, including:
- Creating and managing scheduled store changes
- Executing automated workflows
- Switching and reverting themes
- Updating product visibility and status
- Publishing or unpublishing supported store content
- Processing workflow retries when appropriate
- Providing execution and audit logs
- Diagnosing errors and improving reliability
- Providing customer support
- Maintaining the security and integrity of the App
- Complying with legal and regulatory requirements
We do not use merchant or customer information for purposes unrelated to the functionality of the App unless permitted or required by applicable law.
5. Shopify API and Permissions
HS: Theme Publisher uses Shopify APIs to provide its functionality.
The permissions requested by the App are limited to those reasonably necessary for the features provided by the App. Shopify requires apps to request only necessary access scopes and to handle protected customer data appropriately.
When you uninstall the App, our access to your Shopify store through the App authorization is revoked.
6. Data Storage and Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the App’s functionality, maintain workflow and execution records, provide support, resolve disputes, and meet legal or regulatory obligations.
Scheduled workflows and execution logs may be retained for operational and audit purposes.
When information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymize it in accordance with our data retention practices, subject to applicable legal requirements.
We do not retain personal information indefinitely or “just in case.”
7. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
These measures may include:
- Encryption of data during transmission
- Secure server infrastructure
- Access controls
- Authentication and authorization controls
- Restricted access to production data
- Monitoring and logging
- Appropriate backup and recovery procedures
Shopify requires apps to protect data in transit using valid TLS/SSL and to follow applicable security and data protection requirements.
However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Third-Party Service Providers
We may use trusted third-party service providers to operate and maintain the App, such as providers for:
- Cloud hosting
- Database infrastructure
- Email delivery
- Monitoring and logging
- Error tracking
- Application security
These providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services to us and are expected to maintain appropriate security and confidentiality safeguards.
We do not sell merchant or customer information to third parties.
9. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information.
We may share information with service providers when necessary to operate the App, or when required to:
- Comply with applicable laws or legal processes
- Protect our rights or property
- Prevent fraud, abuse, or security threats
- Protect the security of the App or Shopify stores
- Fulfill a legitimate business or operational requirement
Any sharing is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
10. Merchant Responsibilities
Merchants remain responsible for determining how they use the App and for complying with privacy, data protection, and other laws applicable to their business.
Merchants should ensure that their use of scheduled workflows and store data complies with applicable requirements and their own privacy policies.

12. Data Deletion Requests
If you uninstall HS: Theme Publisher or request deletion of your information, we will process the request in accordance with our data retention practices and applicable legal requirements.
Shopify also provides requirements and mechanisms relating to merchant and customer data deletion for apps. We will comply with applicable Shopify requirements regarding data deletion and privacy requests.
13. International Data Transfers
Depending on our service providers and infrastructure, information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you operate your Shopify store.
Where required by applicable law, we will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.
14. Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
