Privacy Policy
Flowfeed LLC
Effective date: June 28, 2026 Last updated: July 13, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Flowfeed LLC ("Flowfeed," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with our website at flowfeed.io, our web application at app.flowfeed.io, and the related services we provide (collectively, the "Service").
Flowfeed is a business-to-business software service for United States–based Shopify merchants. The Service ingests product data from a merchant's suppliers, normalizes and enriches that data, and publishes and synchronizes store-ready listings to the merchant's Shopify store. This Policy is written for the businesses and individuals who visit our website or use our application.
If you have questions about this Policy or our privacy practices, contact us at legal@flowfeed.io.
1. Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to:
- Visitors to our marketing website at flowfeed.io
- Users who create and access an account in our application at app.flowfeed.io
- Individuals who contact us for support, sales, or other inquiries
The Service is intended for businesses located in the United States and is not directed to consumers or to individuals located outside the United States.
This Policy does not cover the privacy practices of third parties, including Shopify, your suppliers, or any website we link to. Their handling of your information is governed by their own policies.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
- Account information. When you sign up, we collect identifiers needed to create and secure your account, such as your name and email address. Authentication is handled by our identity provider, Clerk.
- Billing information. When you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed by Stripe. We receive limited billing details (such as your name, billing contact, plan, and transaction records). We do not receive or store full payment card numbers; those are handled directly by Stripe.
- Communications. If you contact us for support or sales, we collect the information you choose to share, such as your message contents and contact details.
2.2 Information from Google Sign-In
If you choose to sign in using Google, Google shares a limited set of profile information with us so that we can create and authenticate your account. Specifically, we receive:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your profile picture
- Your Google account identifier
We use this information only to register you, authenticate you, populate your account profile, and communicate with you about the Service. We request only the basic sign-in scopes (such as your email, profile, and OpenID identifier) — we do not request access to your Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, or any other Google service. Our use of information received from Google is limited to the practices described in this Policy.
Flowfeed's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
2.3 Customer data you bring into the Service
To operate the Service, you connect or upload product-related data. This may include:
- Supplier product data — files and feeds you upload or connect (for example, CSV, XLSX, JSON, or PDF files, hosted URLs, spreadsheets, FTP sources, cloud storage, and email attachments) containing product details, pricing, inventory, and related information.
- Product images and media supplied by you or your suppliers.
- Connected store data — data accessed from your Shopify store through Shopify's API in order to create, update, and synchronize listings.
This customer data is processed on your behalf to provide the Service. You are responsible for ensuring you have the rights necessary to provide this data to us.
2.4 Information collected automatically
When you use the website or application, we and our analytics providers automatically collect certain technical and usage information, such as:
- Device and browser type, operating system, and language
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Pages viewed, features used, links clicked, and interactions within the Service
- Referring URLs and similar diagnostic data
See Section 7 for details on the specific cookies and analytics tools we use.

4. AI Processing
A core function of the Service is the AI-assisted extraction, normalization, and enrichment of product data. To provide these features, we send relevant customer data to our AI processing sub-processors, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, which process the data through their APIs on our behalf to return normalized and enriched output.
We do not use your catalog data to train AI models. Our AI sub-processors process data submitted to provide the Service's features and are bound by their applicable terms. We do not sell your data.
