Foreshelf collects the data required for inventory analysis: your Shopify store domain, products, variants, aggregated sales history (order line items: quantity, price, date), inventory levels, batches and expiry dates, and the merchant contact email.
Foreshelf does not collect your end customers' names, addresses or payment details for its inventory analysis.
Data is used to produce forecasts, alerts, Marcus recommendations, audit logs and inventory reports. It is never sold or shared with third parties for advertising.
Questions asked to Marcus, together with aggregated inventory context, may be processed by an AI provider configured by Foreshelf or by the merchant (bring-your-own-key). Prompts are limited to inventory-relevant data; no end-customer personal data is sent to AI providers.
The mandatory customers/data_request, customers/redact and shop/redact webhooks are implemented. After uninstall, store data is deleted in accordance with the shop/redact request issued by Shopify.
All traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Merchant-provided API keys are encrypted at rest. Access to production data is restricted to the operator of the service.
