Introduction
Sunscale Solutions ('we', 'our', or 'us') is the developer of the Countdown Event app ('the App'). This Privacy Policy explains how the App collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you install it in your Shopify store. By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This policy applies only to data processed through the App and does not cover Sunscale Solutions' website or other services, which are governed by our separate Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect
The App accesses and processes only the information needed to provide its features:
• Store Information: Your store name, store URL, locale, currency, time zone, and plan details provided by Shopify
• Account Information: Your name, email address, and shop owner details as available through your Shopify account
• Countdown and Configuration Data: The countdown timers, campaigns, settings, and preferences you create within the App, including dates, labels, display styles, and scheduling options
• Content Data: Product references, pages, themes, or other store content where you choose to display a countdown, to the extent required to render it
• Usage and Log Data: Technical logs, errors, IP address, browser type, device information, and interactions with the App needed for performance, debugging, and support
• Support Data: Information you provide when you contact us for help, including emails and messages
The App does not collect payment card details, and it does not collect personal information about your store's customers beyond what is strictly necessary to display countdowns on your storefront.

Shopify and Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
The App operates within the Shopify platform and is subject to the Shopify API terms and the Shopify Privacy Policy. Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we process your information on the following legal bases:
• Contract: To perform our contract with you by providing the App after you install it
• Legitimate Interests: To operate, secure, and improve the App, provided your rights do not override those interests
• Consent: Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is required by applicable law
5
How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only in these circumstances:
• Shopify: The App communicates with Shopify's APIs, and your data is subject to Shopify's handling of platform data
• Service Providers: With trusted vendors who help us host, store, secure, and operate the App (for example, cloud hosting and infrastructure providers), who are contractually required to protect your data
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets
• With Your Consent: When you have given us explicit permission to share your information
6
Data Storage and Security
We store your information on secure cloud servers and protect it using industry-standard technical and organizational measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and restricted credential handling. While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7
Data Retention
We retain information collected through the App only for as long as your store has the App installed and as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you uninstall the App, we delete or anonymize your stored data within a reasonable period, unless retention is required by law or necessary for legitimate business purposes such as dispute resolution. Logs and backups may be retained for a limited period before being overwritten.
8
International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, where data protection laws may differ. We take appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses where required, to ensure your information remains protected. By using the App, you consent to such transfers.
