This Privacy Policy describes how eCommerce360 (“we”, “our”, or “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you install or use the Subcollections Tree Shopify application (“App”).

Subcollections Tree allows merchants to create and manage hierarchical collection navigation structures for Shopify stores, including storefront navigation menus, breadcrumbs, and subcollection displays powered by Shopify metafields.
