Privacy Policy
Bouncer Age Gate · Last updated: April 3, 2026
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Digital Cartel ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the Bouncer Age Gate app ("the App") for Shopify.
Information We Collect
The Bouncer Age Gate does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers.
The App operates entirely as a Shopify Theme App Extension. All configuration settings are stored within your Shopify theme settings. We have no backend servers, no databases, and no analytics infrastructure.
Cookies
The App uses a single browser cookie to remember whether a visitor has already verified their age. This cookie:
- Is stored only in the visitor's browser (client-side)
- Contains only a simple verification status flag (no personal data)
- Has a configurable expiration period (set by you in the theme customizer)
- Is not transmitted to Digital Cartel or any third party
- Is automatically removed when the configured period expires or when the visitor clears their cookies
No date of birth, name, or other personal information is stored in the cookie, only the verification status.
Data Storage
Your app configuration (verification mode, styling, cookie duration, minimum age) is stored in your Shopify theme's settings data, managed entirely by Shopify. We do not have access to this data outside of the Shopify admin interface. When you uninstall the App, all associated configuration data is removed automatically by Shopify.
Date of Birth Information
When using the Date of Birth verification mode, the visitor enters their date of birth to verify their age. This information:
- Is processed entirely in the visitor's browser (client-side JavaScript)
- Is used only to calculate whether the visitor meets the minimum age requirement
- Is never stored, transmitted, or logged anywhere
- Is discarded immediately after the age calculation is performed
Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate with or send data to any third-party services. It operates exclusively within the Shopify ecosystem.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any information to third parties. Since we collect no personal data, there is no data to share.
Children's Privacy
The App is an age verification tool designed to restrict access to age-appropriate content. It does not target or knowingly collect information from children.
GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Since the App does not collect or process personal data on our servers, it has minimal GDPR and CCPA implications. The client-side cookie used for verification status is a functional cookie essential for the app's operation.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
