Shoppego Privacy Policy

Effective: 3 May 2026


This Privacy Policy explains how Shoppego collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use our platform — including our website, merchant dashboard, mobile apps (iOS and Android), and related services.

If we change our privacy practices, we may update this policy. If any changes are significant, we will let you know through the Shoppego admin, by email, or through an in-app notice.

SHOPPEGO VALUES

Trust is the foundation of the Shoppego platform, and that includes trusting us to do the right thing with your information. Three values guide us as we build and improve our products.

Your information belongs to you

We carefully analyze what types of information we need to provide our services, and we try to limit collection to only what we really need. Where possible, we delete or anonymize this information when we no longer need it. When building features, our engineers work closely with our privacy and security teams. The goal is simple: only use your information to your benefit.

We protect your information

If a third party requests your personal information, we will refuse to share unless you give us permission or we are legally required to. When we are legally required to share, we will tell you in advance, unless we are legally forbidden from doing so.

We help merchants meet their privacy obligations

Many of the merchants using Shoppego do not have a dedicated privacy team. We try to build our products so they can easily be used in a privacy-friendly way.

WHAT WE COLLECT

We collect different types of information depending on how you use Shoppego.

Account information

When you sign up for Shoppego or log into our mobile apps, we collect:

Name

Email address

Phone number

Password (stored encrypted, never readable by us)

Business name and details (for merchants)

Mobile app information

When you use the Shoppego Dashboard mobile apps (iOS and Android), we collect:

Device identifier (unique to your device installation)

Operating system and version (iOS or Android)

App version

Push notification tokens (Apple Push Notification Service tokens for iOS, Firebase Cloud Messaging tokens for Android)

Authentication tokens to keep you logged in

Crash and error reports if the app encounters a problem

Basic usage analytics (which screens you visit, how often, for how long)

We do not use Apple's Advertising Identifier (IDFA). We do not track your activity across other apps or websites. We do not sell your data to advertisers.

The app does not request access to your camera, photos, contacts, or location.

Order and transaction data

When you operate a store on Shoppego, we collect data related to your store's operations:

Products you list (titles, descriptions, prices, images)

Orders received from your customers

Payment transaction records

Shipping and fulfillment data

Customer information your buyers provide (names, addresses, phone numbers)

For customer information stored in your store, Shoppego is the data processor and you (the merchant) are the data controller. Your customers' information is held on your behalf for the purpose of running your store.

Communication data

When you contact us via email, livechat, or support channels, we keep records of those communications to provide support and improve our service.

Marketing preferences

If you opt in to receive marketing emails or product updates, we keep a record of your preference and your interactions with our communications.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We process your information for the following purposes.

These uses fall under what privacy law calls legitimate interests. We only process information for these purposes after considering the potential risks to your privacy. We provide clear transparency, offer you control where appropriate, limit what we collect, limit who we send it to, and limit how long we keep it.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES WE USE

To run Shoppego, we work with trusted third parties. Each handles a specific function and has its own privacy practices, which you should review.

Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google) — Push notifications on Android

Apple Push Notification Service (Apple) — Push notifications on iOS

Firebase Analytics (Google) — App usage analytics

Firebase Crashlytics (Google) — Crash reporting

Google Cloud Platform (Google) — Hosting infrastructure

Payment processor name — Securepay, Billplz, Bizappay, Lekirpay, Chip, Stripe, Paypal, Atome

Email service provider — Mailerlite, Omnisend, Brevo, Sender, Resend

We share only the minimum information needed for each service to do its job. We do not sell your information to any third party.

MOBILE APPS

Shoppego Dashboard is available as a mobile app on both iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

What the apps do with your data

Mobile apps connect to our servers using encrypted connections (TLS). Your login session is maintained using secure tokens stored on your device. When you receive a push notification, your device's notification system displays it. The notification payload itself is small and contains only what's needed to inform you (e.g., "New order received").

Data stored on your device

The app stores the following on your device:

Authentication tokens (so you don't have to log in every time)

Recent orders and dashboard data (for offline access)

Your app preferences (haptic feedback settings, notification preferences)

Cached images for faster loading

You can clear all of this by signing out of the app or uninstalling it.

Permissions

The mobile apps may request the following permissions:

Push notifications — to send you alerts about new orders and store activity. You can disable in your device settings.

Internet — required for the app to function.

We do not request access to your contacts, location, microphone, or other sensitive data.

WHERE WE SEND YOUR INFORMATION

Shoppego is a Malaysian company, but we work with infrastructure providers around the world. To operate our service, we may send your personal information outside Malaysia, including to:

Singapore (for some hosting and CDN services)

United States (for Firebase services and Google Cloud)

Other regions where our service providers operate

When we transfer your information across borders, we take steps to protect it. We try to work only with providers that have strong data protection standards. If you would like more information about where your information might be sent, please contact us.

HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We keep different types of information for different lengths of time.

Account information: While your account is active, then up to 90 days after you request deletion

Order and transaction records: 7 years (required by Malaysian tax and accounting law)

Backup copies: Up to 1 year, then anonymized or deleted

Push notification tokens: Until you uninstall the app or disable notifications

Marketing preferences: Until you withdraw consent

Customer support records: 3 years from last contact

Crash and analytics data: 2 years, then anonymized

When you ask us to delete your account, we remove your personal information within 90 days, with these exceptions:

Records we are legally required to retain (tax, financial, fraud prevention)

Anonymized aggregated data that no longer identifies you

Information stored in disaster recovery backups (deleted in routine backup rotation)

YOUR RIGHTS

You have the right to access and control your personal information. Depending on how you use Shoppego, you may have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you

Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete

Delete your information (subject to legal retention requirements)

Port your information to another service

Restrict how we use your information

Object to certain uses such as direct marketing

Withdraw consent for any processing based on consent

We will not charge you more or provide you with a different level of service if you exercise any of these rights.

How to exercise your rights

Email us at [email protected]. Please include enough information to identify yourself and the specific right you want to exercise.

If you send us a request, we have to verify it is actually you. We may ask for documentation to verify your identity, which we discard after verification.

If you would like to designate an authorized agent to exercise your rights on your behalf, please email us from the email address we have on file for you. If you email from a different address, we cannot determine if the request is coming from you, and will not be able to accommodate.

If you are not happy with our response, you can contact us to resolve the issue. You also have the right to contact your local data protection authority.

Customer data on Shoppego stores

If you are a customer who bought something from a Shoppego-powered store and want to exercise rights over your purchase information, please contact the merchant directly. Shoppego is the processor on their behalf — we do not decide how to handle their customer data. We can forward your request to them, but the merchant must respond.

We do help merchants fulfill these requests by giving them the tools to do so and by answering their questions.

SECURITY

We work to protect your information through:

Encryption in transit using TLS for all API connections

Encryption at rest where applicable

Limited employee access on a need-to-know basis

Regular security reviews and updates

Monitoring for unauthorized access

That said, no method of transmission over the internet, and no method of electronic storage, can be 100 percent secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work hard at it.

If we ever experience a data breach affecting your information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by Malaysian law.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Shoppego is not intended for users under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

If we discover that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verified parental consent, we will delete that information.

COOKIES AND TRACKING

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and when providing our services.

On our website

Essential cookies for login sessions, security, and basic functionality

Preference cookies to remember your settings

Analytics cookies from Google Analytics to understand how the site is used

Marketing cookies if you've consented to them, used for retargeting and ad measurement

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Some essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

On mobile apps

Mobile apps don't use cookies. Instead they use:

Device identifiers for analytics and crash reporting

Authentication tokens for login sessions

Cached data for offline access

You can opt out of analytics by uninstalling the app or contacting us at [email protected] to request deletion of your analytics data.

Because there is no common understanding of what a "Do Not Track" signal is supposed to mean, we don't respond to those signals in any particular way.

MALAYSIA PDPA

If you are in Malaysia, the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) applies to how we handle your personal data.

Under the PDPA, you have specific rights including:

The right to access your personal data

The right to correct inaccurate personal data

The right to withdraw consent for data processing

The right to limit processing in certain circumstances

The right to lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Department of Malaysia

To exercise PDPA rights, contact us at [email protected].

For complaints you cannot resolve with us, you can contact the Personal Data Protection Department at www.pdp.gov.my.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do:

For material changes, we will notify you by email or through an in-app notification at least 30 days before the change takes effect

For minor changes, we update this page and revise the effective date at the top

Continued use of Shoppego after a policy update means you accept the updated policy

You should review this policy occasionally to stay informed about how we protect your information.
