Shopify Customer Data Request Email Templates for safer privacy request replies
Use these self-serve email templates when a shopper asks about customer data, account data, order data, data export, deletion, correction, or request status. The wording is deliberately conservative: it points shoppers to your published privacy contact route without promising a legal outcome, export, deletion, correction, identity check, or exact timing.
