Prebit processes merchant data only as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, improve, and support the Services. We do not claim ownership of merchant store data.

Where Prebit processes personal information on behalf of a merchant, the merchant is generally responsible for determining the purposes and legal basis for processing that information.

Prebit uses cookies and similar technologies to provide a secure and reliable experience.

The types of cookies we may use include: - Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functionality & security. - Login Cookies: Maintain authenticated sessions across the platform. - Security Cookies: Help prevent fraudulent activity and protect user accounts. - Analytics Cookies: Help us understand feature adoption and usability. - Performance Cookies: Monitor platform loading times and technical reliability. - Preference Cookies: Remember user settings like language and display options.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and similar platforms) to better understand how users interact with the Services.

Analytics information includes aggregated usage statistics, feature adoption, navigation patterns, and performance metrics to help us optimize usability and reliability.

Third-Party Services

Prebit works with trusted third-party service providers that assist in operating the platform (cloud hosting, payment processing, email delivery, AI capabilities, security, and logging).

These providers process information only to the extent necessary to perform services on our behalf. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

AI Features

Certain Prebit features may use artificial intelligence to generate content, recommendations, code suggestions, or product descriptions.

To provide these features, AI systems process user-submitted prompts or store inputs. Users should avoid submitting sensitive personal information to AI features unless necessary. AI outputs should be reviewed before relying upon them for legal, financial, or business decisions.

Connected AI Apps (ChatGPT, Claude and Others)

You can connect an AI assistant, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to your Prebit store through the Prebit connector (mcp.prebit.in). This section explains what happens when you do.

What the AI App Can Access - You sign in with your Prebit account and choose one store and the access to give: view only, or view and edit. The AI app never gets more access than your own role in that store, and your role is checked again on every request. - With the access you approve, it can read and change store information such as products, collections, media, theme files, pages and content, and, where offered, orders, customers, draft orders and discounts. - It cannot delete anything, issue refunds, cancel orders, take payments, or change tax, payment, domain, staff or billing settings. Making a theme live, or changing shipping zones, rates or delivery & cash-on-delivery rules, requires a code we email to you describing the exact change (after one approval, the same kind of change needs no new code for 10 minutes).

What Prebit Stores About a Connection - The connection itself: which account and store, which AI app, the access granted, and when it was last used. - Sign-in tokens, stored only in hashed form. Access tokens expire after one hour. Refresh tokens expire after 30 days unless renewed by continued use. - An activity log of the changes the AI app makes: which action, a short summary, the result and the time. It is kept for 90 days. Read-only requests are not logged. - Approval codes for publishing a theme or changing shipping settings, stored in hashed form and valid for 10 minutes.

We do not receive your conversation with the AI app. We only receive the requests it sends to Prebit.

What the AI App Provider Receives Information the AI app reads from your store through the connector is sent to that app's provider (for example Anthropic or OpenAI) and is handled under that provider's own terms and privacy policy, not ours. Please review their policies before connecting.

No Model Training Prebit does not use information accessed through connected AI apps to train AI models.

Seeing and Ending a Connection Every connected AI app, and the changes it made, is listed under Settings, Connected AI apps in your Prebit dashboard, where you can disconnect it at any time. Access stops immediately. If you are removed from a store, or your role there is reduced, the AI app's access is reduced or ended on its next request.
