Shopify Data
BatchCard connects to your Shopify store through OAuth, the standard authentication method for Shopify apps. During installation, you authorize BatchCard to access specific store data.
BatchCard requests only the permissions necessary to manage gift cards on your behalf. This includes the ability to create, read, and manage gift cards within your store. We do not access your customer data, order history, financial information, or any other store data beyond what is required for gift card operations.
Access tokens are stored securely and are used only to communicate with the Shopify API on your behalf.
Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers with encryption at rest. All data transmitted between your browser, our servers, and the Shopify API is encrypted in transit using HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher).
Gift card codes are stored in encrypted format. Access to production data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
We follow industry-standard security practices and regularly review our security measures.

BatchCard uses the following third-party services to operate:
- Google Analytics (GA4): Collects anonymized website usage data with your consent. No personally identifiable information is shared with Google. You can opt out through our cookie settings.
- Resend: Handles email delivery for gift card distribution and contact form submissions. Resend receives recipient email addresses and email content necessary to deliver messages on your behalf.
- Upstash: Provides rate limiting for our contact form to prevent abuse. Upstash receives anonymized IP address hashes and request counts. No personal data is stored by Upstash.
