Extension Data Handling
This section is specifically relevant to merchants and developers who install our Magento 2 extensions on their stores.
5.1 No Data Transmission to External Servers
All of our Magento 2 extensions operate entirely within your Magento installation. They do not transmit, store, or share any data with our servers or any third-party servers unless explicitly stated in that extension's specific documentation.
5.2 Extensions That Use External APIs
Some extensions (e.g., the Google Translator module) make calls to third-party APIs (such as Google Translate API). In such cases:
- Only the content necessary to perform the translation is sent to the API provider
- No personally identifiable customer data is transmitted
- The relevant third-party's own privacy policy governs their data handling
- The specific extension's documentation clearly identifies any external API calls
5.3 Merchant Responsibility
As the merchant operating a Magento store using our extensions, you are the data controller for all end-customer data within your store. You are responsible for ensuring your store's privacy policy covers the use of installed third-party extensions.
5.4 Extension Licence Validation
Some extensions may perform a one-time or periodic licence validation check against the Adobe Commerce Marketplace. This check transmits only your domain name and purchase order reference — no customer data is involved.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:
6.1 Adobe Commerce Marketplace
Our extensions are distributed through the Adobe Commerce Marketplace. Purchase transactions, licence records, and review communications are subject to Adobe's Privacy Policy available at adobe.com/privacy/policy.html.
6.2 Service Providers
We may engage trusted third-party service providers (such as email hosting or analytics) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements and only to provide services to us.
6.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or government authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sukumar Gorai, our users, or the public.
6.4 Business Transfers
In the event of any assignment of business assets or activities, personal data held may be transferred to the successor, who will be bound by this Privacy Policy.
