Stop scrambling at the end of client projects to prove privacy compliance

The situation this course is for

Merchant-facing Shopify projects increasingly trigger privacy review cycles, but without a structured way to document data flows and consent handling, teams waste hours rebuilding evidence last-minute. That erodes trust and margins.

Who this is for

Shopify-focused developer delivering client solutions under compliance scrutiny, often working across timezone-separated teams with misaligned expectations on data handling

Who this is not for

Developers who only build internal tools with no external data flow, or consultants focused solely on storefront UX with no backend integration

What you walk away with

  • Produce documented data flow diagrams aligned with ISO 27701 Annex A controls
  • Design Shopify app consents that satisfy regional privacy laws and client legal teams
  • Respond confidently to client audit questionnaires with pre-built evidence templates
  • Architect reusable privacy patterns across client projects
  • Position yourself as the in-house expert on privacy-safe Shopify implementations
