Privacy policy
Last updated November 12, 2026
Journal Studio: Blog Builder (“the app”) is a Shopify app made by Zapsey.com (“we”, “us”). It helps merchants write, format and publish blog posts on their Shopify store. This policy explains what information the app uses, why, and what happens to it.
Information the app uses
When a merchant installs the app, Shopify gives it access to parts of the store. The app uses this to:
- Read and save blog posts (blogs, articles, tags and featured images), so you can write and edit them in the app.
- Upload pictures and videos you add to an article into your store’s Shopify Files.
- Show your products in Shopify’s product picker, so you can add product cards to articles.
- Read your theme (read-only), so the setup screen can show whether the blog design is installed.
The app does not access or store your customers’ personal information, such as names, email addresses, addresses, orders or payment details.
Information we store
- Store details: your store’s myshopify.com address and the access token Shopify issues so the app can work for your store.
- App settings: for example, whether you chose the Journal Studio blog design.
- Feedback you send through the app’s feedback box, with the store it came from.
Your articles, pictures and videos are saved in your own Shopify store, not on our servers. If you uninstall the app, your blog posts stay in Shopify.
How we use it
We use this information only to run the app, provide support and improve the app. We do not sell it, rent it, or use it for advertising.
Service providers
The app runs on these services, which process data on our behalf:
- Shopify, where your store, blog posts, files and app billing live.
- Netlify, which hosts the app.
- Supabase, which hosts the app’s database in the United States.
Billing
Subscriptions are billed by Shopify on your Shopify invoice. We never see or store your payment card details.
How long we keep it
- When you uninstall the app, we delete your store’s access tokens right away.
- About 48 hours after an uninstall, Shopify asks apps to erase a store’s data. When we receive that request, we delete your store’s settings and feedback messages.
- You can ask us to delete your data sooner by emailing us.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about your store. We also respond to the data requests Shopify sends on behalf of merchants and their customers, as required by Shopify. Because the app does not store customer personal information, customer data requests usually need no action.
Security
Data travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). The database is not publicly accessible, and only the app’s server can read it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date above and, for important changes, tell you in the app.
