This Privacy Policy applies to all services provided by Cryptic Invention, including our website and Shopify applications.

Here's the operational framework:

1. What information does Cryptic Invention collect?

We collect information only when it is necessary to provide and improve our services. The data we collect may come directly from you, from Shopify, or from third-party sources.

This includes information you voluntarily provide through:

  • Project inquiries and contact forms

  • Order data (only if required)
  • Theme or storefront data (for customization features)

We only access data that is strictly necessary for the app to function.

4. Information collected from third parties

We may receive information from publicly available sources, referrals, or third-party platforms such as social media, only where relevant and permitted.
