Collection Sorter privacy policy

Last updated 21 October 2026

Collection Sorter is a Shopify app made by Worklea Services ("we", "us"). It keeps a store's collections in the order the merchant chooses, using simple rules such as pinned products, newest first or sold-out products last. This policy explains what data the app uses when a store installs it, why, and what happens to that data.

Our terms of service include a data processing agreement that sets out how we handle this data on your behalf.

Data the app accesses

When a merchant installs Collection Sorter, Shopify lets the app read the following through Shopify's API:

• Products and collections: collection titles, sort settings and the products in each collection, with each product's title, tags, price, creation date, total stock and whether it is available for sale. The app needs these to work out the order you asked for, and it changes the order of products in the collections you set rules for.
• Store information: the store's myshopify.com address and whether it is a development store, to connect the app to the right store and handle billing.

Collection Sorter does not request or read customers' names, email addresses, phone numbers or shipping addresses.

Data the app stores

• Access credentials: the store's address and the access token Shopify issues to the app, so the app can act on the store's behalf. These are kept in our database.
• Settings: whether nightly sorting is turned on. These are saved inside the merchant's own Shopify store, as app data attached to the store.
• Sorting rules: for each collection the merchant sets up, the collection's ID, the IDs of pinned products, the chosen sort, the boost tag, whether sold-out products go last, and when the rule last ran and its result. These are kept in our database so the app can re-sort collections every night.
• Server logs: technical logs that may include the store address, kept for troubleshooting.

Product titles, prices, stock and other product details are read when a collection is sorted and are not copied into our database.

How we use data

Only to provide the app: to show your collections and rules, to sort collections when you save a rule, press Sort now, or during the nightly re-sort, and to manage your plan. We do not sell data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties, except the services we need to run the app:

• Shopify, which provides the store data and handles billing for paid plans.
• Our hosting provider, whose servers run the app and store the data described above.

Payments

Paid plans are charged by Shopify on the merchant's Shopify invoice. We never see or store card details.

Retention and deletion

• When a store uninstalls Collection Sorter, its access credentials and sorting rules are deleted from our database.
• When Shopify asks us to delete a store's data, which it does 48 hours after uninstall, we delete anything remaining for that store.
• Requests from Shopify to delete or report data about a specific customer are answered promptly. Since the app doesn't store customers' personal information, there is normally nothing to delete or report.
• Server logs are capped in size and the oldest entries are deleted automatically.

Security

The app is served only over HTTPS. Requests from Shopify are checked to confirm they really come from Shopify. Access credentials are encrypted (AES-256) before they are stored, on a server with restricted access.

Your rights

Merchants and their customers can ask what data we hold about them, and ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing support@worklea.org. Customers of a store may also contact the store directly.

Changes

If we change how the app uses data, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
