What does Emtor read, keep and delete?

It reads your products, policies and theme settings, and your orders only if you allow it, never your customer records. Uninstalling deletes its access at once, and the rest when Shopify asks, apart from what its AI calls cost.

What Emtor may read

When you install it, Emtor asks Shopify for access to read your products (read_products), your store's policies (read_legal_policies) and your theme's settings, to see whether its agent data embed is on (read_themes).

Your orders, only if you allow it. On Emtor's AI sales page, Show sales from AI asks Shopify for access to read orders (read_orders), and Shopify asks you in its own window. Emtor then reads each order's total, date and sales channel and where the shopper came from, never names, emails or addresses, and keeps none of it: the page works its numbers out each time you open it.

What it may change, and when

Only what a fix changes, when you click it, and only once you've allowed it: your policies (write_legal_policies) or your products (write_products). Shopify asks you the first time a fix needs either. The facts you confirm, and whether you hid the setup guide, are saved in your store as Emtor's own app data. What each fix changes

What it never reads

Your customer records. Emtor doesn't ask Shopify for access to customers, so it can't see their names, emails, phone numbers or addresses, and it reads your orders only as above. The agent test shops as a made-up shopper and never pays, so there's no customer data in it either.

What leaves your store

  • The agent test talks only to your store and to Shopify. What the test does in your store
  • AI answers. The questions about your facts carry your store's name and domain, and go through OpenRouter: the ChatGPT questions only to OpenAI, the Perplexity questions only to Perplexity and the Claude questions only to Anthropic. The shopper questions carry only a kind of product, a price, a country and, if you offer it, free shipping, and go the same way. To judge an answer about your facts that the rules can't settle, that answer, its question, the fact you confirmed and the shopper's country go through OpenRouter only to Anthropic.
  • Description drafts. That product's title, vendor, type, category, tags, options, variant names and description go through OpenRouter only to Anthropic, with a short excerpt from one of your active products' descriptions, so the draft is written in your store's language.
  • Only those companies. OpenRouter is told to use only them, never another company that hosts the same model. Nothing goes out for AI answers or drafts until you click.

What Emtor keeps

  • Your last 60 agent tests, with what your store said at each step.
  • The score each test gave, with what it came from, for 40 days.
  • The AI answers, with the links they cited.
  • The list of changes Emtor made, with the text before and after, so they can be undone.
  • From the check of your whole catalog, only the counts.
  • Whether the daily test is on, and the access Shopify gave Emtor to your store.

When you uninstall

  • At once, Emtor deletes its access to your store, the daily test and the counts from your whole catalog.
  • 48 hours later, when Shopify asks Emtor to erase your store's data, it deletes your test history, your scores, the list of changes and the AI answers. What each AI answers check and description draft cost, and when, stays, without your store's name, the questions or the answers, so the app's spending limit still counts it.
  • Emtor's changes stay in your store. They're part of your policies and products, so uninstalling doesn't undo them. If you want them gone, undo them first. How undo works

Emtor keeps no customer data, so when Shopify sends a customer's request to see or erase their data, there's nothing to return or delete.
