Identity

No identity observation recorded yet.

Data location

EU: New merchants in Europe automatically avail of the European infrastructure and have store data, order data and customer personal data stored at rest in Europe by default. No plan or cost is named.

Subprocessor chain

14 third parties · 20 of the vendor's own group companies · 23 with a country outside the EEA · all read 2026-10-05

The count outside the EEA is arithmetic over the country column, not a judgement about lawfulness. A transfer outside the EEA can be perfectly lawful; whether this one is depends on your use, not on the vendor.

Assurance

Claimed means the vendor asserts the scheme on its own page and offers nothing further. Available on request means the report or certificate exists but sits behind a request, a login or an NDA. Neither is a certificate we have seen. That is a distinction an auditor makes, so we make it too.

Official registers

• ACN qualified cloud (Italy): checked 2026-10-07, no entry under Shopify
• Data Privacy Framework List (US): checked 2026-10-07, 2 entries under Shopify
• FedRAMP Marketplace (US): checked 2026-10-07, no entry under Shopify

What the authority publishes, not what the vendor claims. An entry covers the offering it names and nothing else: a FedRAMP authorisation for a government edition says nothing about the commercial service. No entry is not a finding about security - most vendors never apply - and an entry filed under a name not listed above would not have been found.
