Privacy policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

Breadcrumbs ("the app") is made by RYDEE. This policy explains what data the app uses when a Shopify merchant installs it, and what happens with it. Questions: hi@tomderuiter.com.

Data from your store

To build breadcrumb paths, the app reads through Shopify's API:

your shop's name, domain and languages;
your navigation menus;
products and collections: their titles, handles and collections, to preview paths and to save custom paths.

The app stores your shop domain and the access token Shopify gives it on our server in the European Union (Germany). Your settings are stored in your own Shopify store, as data that belongs to the app installation, and custom paths as metafields on the products and collections they belong to.

Data about your customers

The app doesn't collect, receive or store personal data of your customers. Breadcrumbs are rendered by your theme. With visitor-aware paths on, the app's script remembers the collection a customer browsed in the browser's session storage, for at most an hour, and sends nothing to our servers.

Sharing

We don't sell or share data. Besides Shopify, only the hosting of our server processes the data described above.

Retention and deletion

When you uninstall the app, we delete your access token and shop domain right away, and Shopify deletes the app's settings in your store. Custom paths stay on your products and collections (they're your data and do nothing without the app); ask us and we'll help remove them. Customer data requests from Shopify are answered with "no data held", because the app holds none.

Your rights

You can ask us which data we hold about your store, and to correct or delete it, by emailing hi@tomderuiter.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

If this policy changes, we update this page and the date above.
