Even strong technical builds get delayed when privacy isn't baked in from day one

The situation this course is for

Developers often implement features only to revisit them later due to privacy gaps. These retrofits cost time, create friction with clients, and weaken trust in the delivery team. Without a clear standard, it’s hard to advocate for changes early, even when you know they’ll be needed.

Who this is for

Senior developer or solutions architect in a Shopify agency who influences platform design, vendor selection, and data flows

Who this is not for

Junior developers focused only on theme customization or content updates without architecture input

What you walk away with

  • Frame privacy decisions using ISO 27701 to gain faster alignment from clients and internal teams
  • Lead vendor security reviews with confidence using standardized criteria
  • Anticipate compliance expectations before they become blockers in development
  • Document privacy controls that scale across client projects
  • Position yourself as a trusted advisor in platform and integration planning
