afternoon. I am looking for some advice. We are currently selling our product through a collaboration with a client that has a shopify account. Are they able to send us a report showing how many of our products have sold or can they share information with us that does not breach GDPR laws?

Thanks.

Hello @Carpitclothing ,

yes, your collaborator can provide you with reports detailing the sales of your products without breaching GDPR regulations. To ensure compliance, it’s important that any shared data is anonymized, focusing solely on sales figures and product performance without including personal customer information.

For real-time access, you might consider using third-party applications that facilitate data sharing between Shopify stores and their partners. These tools can offer controlled access to sales data, ensuring both transparency and data protection.

Always ensure that any data sharing aligns with GDPR guidelines, prioritizing customer privacy and data security.

Best regards,

Nikos
