FoundGPT Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 21, 2026
FoundGPT ("we", "us") is a Shopify application operated by KEUTEK that helps merchants publish AI-readable discovery feeds for their stores. This policy describes how we handle information when you install and use FoundGPT.
Information we collect
- Shop and catalog data — product, collection, page, and blog article data synced from your Shopify store to generate public AI discovery feeds.
- Discovery settings — brand copy, FAQ entries, logo references, and inclusion/exclusion choices you configure in the app admin.
- App installation data — shop domain, OAuth session tokens, and subscription status required to operate the app.
Information we do not collect
FoundGPT does not intentionally collect or store your customers' personal information (names, emails, addresses, order history, or payment details). We do not access Shopify customer records for feed generation.
How we use information
- Sync and publish AI-readable feeds on your dedicated feeds host.
- Inject discovery link tags into your storefront theme when enabled.
- Operate billing, support, and app reliability features.
Why we need permissions?
When you install FoundGPT, Shopify shows a permission screen. Each access level maps to a specific feature in the app:
| What Shopify shows | Why FoundGPT needs it |
|---|---|
| View products (products, collections) | Build AI product and collection feeds |
| View Online Store (pages, theme) | Sync pages and blog content, and check the theme app embed |
| Edit Shopify admin → Files | Upload a brand logo in Settings |
| View staff and contributor data | Required with read_content for blog and article access; Shopify also shows basic shop owner information during install |
Where data is stored
Shop data is stored in our application database and served from infrastructure operated by KEUTEK (for example Render and PostgreSQL). Public feeds are published on your shop's feeds subdomain under our feeds domain.
Data sharing
Public discovery files (for example JSON feeds, FAQ schema, and LLM discovery text on paid plans) are intentionally published for AI systems and crawlers to read. We do not sell merchant data to third parties.
Data retention and deletion
When you uninstall FoundGPT, we stop serving feeds immediately and delete OAuth sessions. Shopify sends a shop data deletion request after uninstall; we then delete all remaining shop data from our systems, including synced catalog records, settings, and sync state.
Your choices
- Control which catalog items are included or excluded in AI output.
- Manage FAQ schema content and discovery settings in the app admin.
- Disable the theme app embed to remove storefront discovery links.
- Uninstall the app to revoke access and trigger data deletion.
