4. Purpose of Processing
The data is processed exclusively for the provision of the PackMate app functionality (packaging calculation, 3D pack visualization, shipping cost optimization, and order management).
5. Authentication
PackMate uses Shopify's built-in OAuth authentication. When you install the app, Shopify handles the authentication process. No additional third-party authentication service is used.
6. Web Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to analyse website usage. GA4 uses cookies that enable analysis of your use of the website.

You can prevent collection by Google Analytics by disabling cookies in your browser.
7. Storage
Application data is stored on servers in the EU (Supabase, Hetzner). Product dimensions are stored as Shopify metafields within your store.
8. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers process data in the USA:
- Hetzner (VPS hosting) — EU servers, GDPR compliant
- Google (analytics) — EU-US Data Privacy Framework
All providers listed are certified under applicable data privacy frameworks, which ensure an adequate level of data protection.
