Data request wrong channel template for Shopify merchants

A redirect message when a shopper sends a privacy request to a general support inbox.

Keep these guardrails

  • Redirect without dismissing the request
  • Avoid collecting sensitive material in the wrong channel

Template copy

Thanks for sending this. Because this is a privacy-related request, please use the privacy contact route listed in our store policy instead of this general support thread. Do not send passwords, one-time codes, government ID images, full card numbers, bank details, or private account links here. Using the policy route helps the request reach the correct review process.

Adapt it safely

  • Use your own published privacy policy and contact route.
  • Replace legal conclusions with a process-based next step.
  • Keep data requests separate from normal order support when needed.
  • Avoid promising export, deletion, correction, verification, or timelines.
