Privacy policy
Short version: this website collects nothing about you unless you click "Accept" in the cookie banner. If you do, we use Google Analytics to count visits and see which links are useful. We never use it for advertising. If you ask us to email you one of our free guides, we keep your email address for that and for occasional tips, until you unsubscribe.
Who we are
This website belongs to Consensuscraft, Unipessoal Lda (Consensus), a software company based in Lisbon, Portugal. We are the data controller for this website. For anything about your data, write to hello@consensus.pt.
What this policy covers
This page covers consensus.pt, including the page about our Shopify apps at consensus.pt/shopify/. Each product has its own policy that also explains what the product itself does with data:
Swiqe has its own website and policy at swiqe.app.
What we collect without your consent
No analytics and no cookies. Until you make a choice, nothing is loaded from Google Analytics. The one exception is a visit from one of our own emails, which we count without cookies as explained in the next section.
Like any website, the servers that deliver these pages see your IP address and the page you asked for. This site is hosted by Cloudflare, which uses that information to deliver the page and protect it from abuse. Your browser also downloads our fonts from Google Fonts, so Google sees your IP address for that request.
If you write to us, we keep your email so we can answer it, and we do not add you to any mailing list.
Visits from our emails
When we email a shop about one of our apps, the link in that email carries a campaign tag and a reference for that shop. If you open our website from such a link, we record that the visit happened, which parts of the page you reached and whether you clicked to install the app or joined a launch list. We do this without cookies and without storing your IP address, and nothing is recorded for visits that don't come from one of our campaign links. A visit only counts after you have spent a few seconds on the page and scrolled, clicked or moved the mouse, so automatic link scanners are left out.
We use this to see whether our emails are useful and to avoid writing again to shops that have already looked. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in measuring our own campaigns. The records are kept in our database on MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB, Inc.) and deleted automatically 12 months after the last visit. You can ask us to delete them sooner by writing to hello@consensus.pt.
Free guides you ask us to email you
Some articles on consensus.pt/shopify offer a free guide (a PDF) by email. If you ask for one, we store your email address, the guide you asked for, the page you were on, the date, how you reached the page (for example a search engine or a campaign link) and the wording of the box you ticked. We use this to send you the download link and, because you agreed to it in the same box, occasional emails with Shopify tips and news about our apps.
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. After you unsubscribe we send you nothing else, and you can ask us at any time to delete your details completely. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw as easily as you gave it.
Two providers process this data on our behalf: Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France), which sends the emails, and MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB, Inc.), which hosts the database where the request is stored. We keep your details until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
What we collect if you accept
If you click "Accept", we load Google Analytics 4. It records:
- the pages you view and how you got here (for example a search engine or another website);
- your device type, browser, operating system and screen size;
- your approximate location, such as country and city, worked out from your IP address. Google Analytics does not store the IP address itself;
- a few clicks we care about: links to install our apps on the Shopify App Store (
install_click), links to our product websites (product_click), email links (contact_click), links to other websites (outbound_click) and requests for one of our free guides (generate_lead, without your email address).
We use this only to understand which pages are useful and to improve the website. Advertising features, remarketing and ad personalisation stay switched off, and we do not combine this data with anything else about you.
Cookies

Google as our processor
Google Ireland Limited provides Google Analytics and processes this data on our behalf, under Google's data processing terms. Google may process it in the United States, covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Analytics data is kept for 14 months and then deleted.
Legal basis
We use analytics only on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw it at any time, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it.
Changing your choice
Use the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of any page on consensus.pt or our product websites to open the banner again and pick the other option. If you decline after accepting, we also remove the Google Analytics cookies from your browser. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings, and the banner will appear again on your next visit.
Your rights
You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Write to hello@consensus.pt and we will answer within 30 days. Analytics data is not linked to your name, so we may need details such as the dates of your visits to find it. You can also complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the CNPD (cnpd.pt), or to the authority where you live.
Changes
If we change what this website collects, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change goes live.
