    Privacy Policy

    Last updated: January 1, 2025

    LiftSignals is committed to protecting the privacy of our customers and their end-customers. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over it.

    1 Who We Are

    LiftSignals, Inc. ("LiftSignals", "we", "us", or "our") operates the customer intelligence platform available at liftsignals.com and app.liftsignals.com. We are the data controller for the personal data we collect directly from you (our customers). We are a data processor for the end-customer data you provide us with when you connect your e-commerce store.

    For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our data protection contact is: privacy@liftsignals.com.


    2 Data We Collect

    We collect two categories of data:

    2.1 Account and Subscription Data

    When you create a LiftSignals account, we collect:

    • Your name and email address
    • Your company name and website URL
    • Billing information (processed and stored by our payment processor, Stripe — we do not store card numbers)
    • Plan and subscription details
    • Account preferences and settings
    • Communication history with our support and sales teams

    2.2 Store Data (Customer Intelligence Processing)

    When you connect your e-commerce store to LiftSignals, you grant us access to:

    • Customer records from your store (names, email addresses, shipping addresses, purchase history)
    • Order data (product SKUs, order values, timestamps, discount codes used)
    • Geographic data (shipping zip codes and regions)
    • Behavioral data your store platform makes available (browse sessions, cart events, email engagement where integrated)

    This store data belongs to you and your customers. LiftSignals processes it solely to generate the intelligence outputs you've subscribed to. We act as a data processor under your instruction.

    2.3 Usage Data

    We automatically collect certain data about how you interact with the LiftSignals application:

    • Log data (IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, timestamps)
    • Feature usage data (which modules you access, how often)
    • Performance and error data

    This data is used to improve the platform, diagnose issues, and understand feature adoption.

All intelligence outputs are generated exclusively from your own store data and returned only to you. The AI-Powered Recommendations feature operates exclusively on the outputs of your store's own intelligence models — it does not incorporate data from any other LiftSignals customer's store, and the weekly AI Insights recommendations generated are accessible only to your account.

    We do not sell your data or your customers' data to any third party. Ever.

    4.3 Business Transfers

    In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your data may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you by email and provide a 30-day notice period before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
