Effective August 23, 2026
We access only the merchant's financial data: payout amounts and accounting entries.
We access no personal data about your buyers. We don't request permission to see orders or customers.
We write nothing, in any system. Access is read-only.
You can revoke access at any time by uninstalling the app.
This policy describes exactly what PayoutSentry does today. If the product changes, the policy changes with it.
PayoutSentry. For any question about your data, write to support@payoutsentry.com.
The app requests two permissions, both read-only:
read_shopify_payments_accounts and
read_shopify_payments_payouts. They give us access to:
Using the accounting permission, always read-only, we access:
The email address where you receive alerts, and a record of the alerts we've sent you.
This isn't a pledge of good behavior. It's the scope of the permissions the app requests: if we tried to read this data, the platform would refuse.
One purpose only: comparing your Shopify payouts against what was recorded in your books, finding differences, and telling you about them.
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or training models, and we do not sell it.
PayoutSentry does not create, modify or delete anything in Shopify or QuickBooks. This isn't an internal guideline: the code rejects any write operation before it leaves the machine, and the permissions we request wouldn't allow one anyway.
When the system finds a difference, it tells you what to correct. You make the correction, in your own system.
Data is stored in a database under our control, so we can compare across periods and avoid sending you the same alert every day.
Access credentials for your store and your books are kept in files with restricted permissions, readable only by the service process, and are never shown on screen, in emails, or in logs.
No one, other than what's strictly needed to deliver the service:
| Provider | Purpose | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Resend | Delivering alert emails | Your email address and the content of the alert, which includes amounts and dates of the payouts with differences |
We do not sell or transfer data to third parties for any other purpose.
For as long as the service is active, so we can compare across periods and produce the monthly summaries.
You can ask us to delete your data at any time by writing to support@payoutsentry.com. We handle these requests manually and confirm by email once it's done.
At any time, without asking us:
Uninstalling cuts off access right away and we stop collecting anything new. Deleting the data we already collected is a separate step — write to us and we'll take care of it.
If the product changes what it does with your data, we update this policy and change the effective date. Any change that widens the data we access also requires your approval of the new permissions: the platforms will ask you explicitly.
Any question about this policy or your data: support@payoutsentry.com. We answer in English or Spanish.
