Terms of Service

The following terms (the “Terms of Service”) describe the terms and conditions applicable to your access to and use of the Linkpop application (“Linkpop” or the “App”), and the Linkpop services, and any associated software or products (collectively referred to as the “Service”). This document is a legally binding agreement between you, as the user of the Service (referred to as “you” or “your”), and Shopify Inc. and its Affiliates (referred to as “we”, “our”, “us” or “Shopify”), where “Affiliates” means any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Shopify Inc. 

The Service is offered by Shopify and allows you to create a landing page of links (the “Linkpop Page”). For Shopify Merchants only, the Service allows you to list shoppable links on your Linkpop Page, allowing visitors to purchase selected products through such shoppable links via their Shopify Store. Shopify Merchants’ use of the Shopify Services shall be governed by the Shopify Merchant Terms of Service (the “Shopify Merchant TOS”). Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Shopify Merchant TOS. The Service is not affiliated with Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or any other platforms. In providing the Service, Shopify may utilize third party service providers (each, a “Third Party Provider”).

By signing up for the Service (including by downloading the App), you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Service. Any new features or tools which are added to the current Service shall also be subject to the Terms of Service.

    Shopify supports the protection of intellectual property. It’s our policy to respond to all notices of alleged copyright infringement. If someone believes that any of the User Content is infringing their intellectual property rights, they can inform us by contacting legal@shopify.com.

Personal Data” as used in this Addendum means information that relates to, or could reasonably be linked with or to an identifiable or identified Data Subject who visits your Linkpop Page (an “End User”), which Shopify Processes as a Data Processor or Service Provider in the course of providing you with the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Personal Data does not include information that Shopify Processes in the context of services that it provides directly to a consumer, such as through its consumer facing applications like Shop and Shop Pay;
    5. Data Subject Request” as used in this Addendum means a request for access, erasure, rectification, or portability of your End User’s Personal Data; and
    6. All other capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the same definition as in the Agreement. 
  2. Data Protection

    1. Where a Data Subject is located in the European Economic Area, that Data Subject’s Personal Data will be Processed by Shopify’s Irish affiliate, Shopify International Ltd. As part of providing the Services, this Personal Data may be transferred to other regions, including to Canada and the United States. Such transfers will be completed in compliance with relevant Data Protection Legislation.
    2. When Shopify Processes Personal Data in the course of providing the Services, Shopify will:
      1. Process the Personal Data as a Data Processor and/or Service Provider, only for the purpose of providing the Services in accordance with documented instructions from you (provided that such instructions are commensurate with the functionalities of the Services), and as may subsequently be agreed to by you. If Shopify is required by law to Process the Personal Data for any other purpose, Shopify will provide you with prior notice of this requirement, unless Shopify is prohibited by law from providing such notice;
        1. You acknowledge that Shopify acts as an independent Data Controller with regards to End User Personal Data that it collects directly from consumers through its consumer-facing applications and services like Shop and Shop Pay;
        2. notify you if, in Shopify’s opinion, your instruction for the Processing of Personal Data infringes applicable Data Protection Legislation;
