Accepting credit cards, warehouses, and shipping and fulfilling orders
Hi,
I am only collecting name, email id, phone number, and address.
Do I need Cyber Cover for my business on Shopify?
If someone hacks into Shopify and misuses my customers' data, who is responsible for it - is it me or Shopify?
I am in the UK.
Thanks,
In the UK, Shopify is liable for platform security, but you are responsible for breaches caused by weak passwords, phishing, or third-party apps.
Since you collect customer data, a cyber breach could lead to GDPR fines. Cyber Cover can protect you by covering legal fees, fines, and customer notification costs.
If you are only depending on Shopify's applications, the threat is relatively lower, but if you consider using third-party apps or even storing data outside, Cyber Cover is totally recommended.
