Hazard Labels privacy

Last updated 4 November 2026

This notice explains what data the Govseer Hazard Labels app for Shopify handles, why, and for how long. The app is made by Govseer Inc. For the govseer.com website, see the website privacy notice.

What the app does not collect

The app does not access your customers or your orders, and asks Shopify for no permission to do so. The hazard label shown on your product pages is rendered by Shopify from data stored in your shop; it sets no cookies, uses no tracking, and sends nothing about your shoppers to us.

What the app handles, and why

• Your shop and the staff who use the app. Your shop's address and ID, and the session Shopify creates when you open the app, which can include the staff member's name, email address and Shopify user ID. We use these to sign you in and to record who confirmed and published each label.
• Products. The titles and IDs of products you open in the app, and the label elements you confirm for them. The app writes each published label to the product in your shop, so your storefront can show it.
• Supplier details. The business name, address, country and telephone or contact details you enter. They appear on every published label, because the law requires the supplier on a hazard label.
• Safety data sheets. The PDF files you upload, and the label elements read from them. Sheets are documents about products, but they often name a contact person with an email or telephone number.
• Your shop's languages, so labels are complete in every language you sell in.
• An audit log of uploads, edits and publications, with the staff member's Shopify user ID and the time, so you can show what was published and when.
• Your plan, which Shopify tells us, so we can apply its limits.

Who processes it

• Google Cloud hosts the app and its database in Belgium (europe-west1).
• Google Cloud reads uploaded safety data sheets and translates the words you add to some statements. It may process this outside the EU. Your data is not used to train AI.
• Shopify provides sign-in, billing, and storage of the published labels in your shop.

We do not sell any of this data or share it for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep your data while the app is installed. When you uninstall it, Shopify notifies us 48 hours later and we delete everything we hold for your shop: supplier details, safety data sheets, labels, the audit log and sessions. Published labels are stored by Shopify with your products; you can remove them from the app before uninstalling.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the personal data we hold, or to export your labels and audit log. Write to privacy@govseer.com and we will answer within 30 days. If you are in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

If this notice changes, the date at the top changes with it. We will update it before the app handles any new kind of data.
