For Shopify, WordPress, and AppSumo app developers

GDPR for ecosystem apps. Built by someone who has shipped one.

Shopify mandates a GDPR-compliant privacy policy and a Data Processing Agreement for every app accessing customer data. WordPress.org and AppSumo are heading the same direction. Rowpa generates yours in under an hour and publishes a Trust Center URL you can link from your app listing.

Why this is harder than it looks

You built an app. You list it on Shopify or WordPress.org. EU and UK merchants install it. Now you're a data processor with hundreds of merchant tenants, each of whom has their own customers. Compliance webhooks must redact customer data on request. Your privacy notice must explain processing, retention, and sub-processors. Your DPA must be available, current, and signed.

Most indie ecosystem developers don't have this. Most haven't been audited yet. The first audit will be expensive.

What Rowpa generates for your app

When a Shopify Plus merchant sends a vendor assessment

Bigger merchants run vendor security reviews on the apps they install. Upload the spreadsheet: Rowpa drafts the data protection rows from your record with the evidence beside each, marks what only you can answer, and writes it back into their file. Or send them a supplier pack: one link, revocable, opened-count visible.

App-specific ROPA

AI classifies the processing activities of a Shopify or WordPress app: webhook data, OAuth scope data, customer redaction, sub-processor relationships.

DPA template ready to publish

Article 28 compliant, ICO-aligned, hosted publicly at your Rowpa subdomain.

Reflects your ROPA. Link it from your app store listing.

Sub-processor list

OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, Sentry, Cloudflare, anything you use. Source links and transfer fields are provided for your review; customer-specific terms are not inferred.

DSR intake form

Merchants and their customers can submit access / erasure requests. You get a deadline-tracked dashboard.

Trust Center URL

Link this from your Shopify App Store listing. Tick the GDPR boxes Shopify expects in one go.

Common questions

Does Rowpa generate the GDPR webhook handler for me?

No. Webhook handling is part of your app code. Rowpa generates the legal documents, the public-facing Trust Center, and the DSR / complaints intake. Your engineering team still handles the webhook per Shopify's spec.

Can I link the Trust Center from my app listing?

Yes. Rowpa Starter includes a public Trust Center URL. Linkable from your Shopify App Store listing in the privacy policy field.

What if I have multiple apps?

Each app gets its own tenant workspace. Three apps means three tenants, three Trust Centers, three privacy notices, each on its own plan. If you run a portfolio, write to us through the partners page and we will sort the billing.

Does this cover WordPress.org plugin store?

Yes. The same compliance documents serve both. WordPress.org has less prescriptive requirements than Shopify but is moving in the same direction.

What about AppSumo deals?

AppSumo brings instant EU traffic. The GDPR exposure starts on day one of the deal. Rowpa is exactly what you set up the week before launching.

Ship-ready GDPR for your app, in less time than the Shopify App Store review takes.
