Provider: Justino Ltd (t/a NOPE), a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17215901), with registered office at 66 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NA.
Contact: nope@soarez.org


This Privacy Policy explains how NOPE ("the App", "we", "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you install or use NOPE on your Shopify store. It also describes the rights of individuals whose data is processed by the App.

NOPE is developed and operated by Justino Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales. We take our obligations under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 seriously.


1. Who We Are and Our Role

NOPE is an independent Shopify app that filters and manages contact form submissions on behalf of merchants. In providing this service:

This distinction is important. Where we act as your data processor, we only process customer data on your documented instructions and in accordance with the data processing terms incorporated by reference into the contractual relationship between Justino Ltd and the merchant via the Shopify App Store listing and the provisions set out in this Privacy Policy.


2. What Data We Collect

2a. Contact Form Submission Data (End-User Data)

When a visitor submits a contact form on your Shopify store, NOPE receives and processes the following data:

Data Field Purpose Stored?
Name Spam classification input Yes, up to 30 days
Email address Spam classification input Yes, up to 30 days
Phone number Spam classification input (if present) Yes, up to 30 days
Message body Spam classification input Yes, up to 30 days
Submission timestamp Audit trail & filtering context Yes, up to 30 days

2b. Merchant Store Data

To improve the accuracy of our spam classifier, we also access and process the following data from your Shopify store:

Data Field Purpose Stored?
Store owner name Classifier context enrichment Yes, up to 30 days
Store owner email Classifier context enrichment Yes, up to 30 days
Store owner phone Classifier context enrichment Yes, up to 30 days
Store physical address Classifier context enrichment Yes, up to 30 days
Product catalogue (names & descriptions) Classifier context enrichment Yes, up to 30 days

This context helps the classifier understand what your business does, so it can better distinguish genuine enquiries from spam.


3. How We Use Your Data

We process data for the following purposes and on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

Purpose Legal Basis
Classifying contact form submissions as spam or legitimate Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — necessary to provide the App's core service
Storing submissions for display in the merchant dashboard Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Enriching classifier context using merchant store data Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — to improve accuracy of the service
Responding to support or deletion requests Legal obligation / legitimate interests
Complying with applicable laws Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c))

We do not use personal data for advertising, marketing profiling, or any purpose unrelated to spam filtering and the operation of the App.


4. How We Process Data: Our Technology

NOPE uses a combination of two in-house techniques to classify submissions:

When a submission is sent to an LLM inference provider for classification, it is transmitted securely over TLS. These providers act as sub-processors under our instructions. We do not permit them to use submission content to train their models (where contractually available) and we select only providers with appropriate data protection terms.

Please note that several of these providers are based outside the United Kingdom (primarily in the United States). See Section 7 for details on international data transfers.


5. Data Retention

We retain all personal data processed by the App (contact form submissions and associated merchant context) for a maximum of 30 days from the date of collection.

After 30 days, data is automatically and permanently deleted from our systems. This applies to both spam-classified and legitimate submissions.

If you uninstall the App, your data will be deleted within 30 days of uninstallation, or sooner upon request.


6. Data Storage and Security

All data is stored on servers hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH, located in Germany (European Economic Area). Hetzner acts as our infrastructure sub-processor.

We implement the following security measures to protect personal data:


7. International Data Transfers

Our primary data storage is within the EEA (Germany via Hetzner), which is a recognised adequate country under UK GDPR. However, when processing submissions using LLM inference providers, data may be transferred to the United States or other countries outside the UK/EEA.

We rely on the following safeguards for such transfers:

If you require a list of the specific transfer mechanisms in place for each inference provider, please contact us at nope@soarez.org.


8. Data Sharing and Sub-Processors

We share personal data only with the following categories of third parties, all acting as our sub-processors:

Sub-Processor Category Location Purpose
Hetzner Online GmbH Hosting provider Germany (EEA) Data storage and app infrastructure
Groq, Inc. LLM inference provider USA AI-based spam classification
Cerebras Systems LLM inference provider USA AI-based spam classification
DeepInfra LLM inference provider USA AI-based spam classification
OpenRouter LLM inference provider USA AI-based spam classification
Google LLC (Gemini) LLM inference provider USA AI-based spam classification

We do not sell personal data. We do not share data with any third party for their own marketing or profiling purposes.

10. Cookies and Tracking

NOPE does not use cookies or any client-side tracking technologies on end users' browsers. The App operates entirely server-side.


11. Children's Data

NOPE is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly process personal data from children. Contact form submissions that appear to originate from children will be treated no differently to other submissions, but we do not take any additional steps to solicit or retain such data.


12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App's functionality, legal requirements, or sub-processors. When we make material changes, we will notify merchants via the Shopify admin interface or by email.
