1. Introduction
Commerceflo, Inc. ("Commerceflo," "we," "our," or "us") operates the Commerceflo platform, accessible at commerceflo.ai — an AI-Native Unified Omnichannel Commerce Platform designed for merchants, brands, manufacturers, and distributors.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information about you and your business when you access or use our platform, website, APIs, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). It also explains your rights with respect to that information.
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.
Commerceflo is a business-to-business (B2B) SaaS platform. Our customers are merchants and business entities — not individual consumers. References to "you" throughout this policy refer to the authorized representative of a business using the Service.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
Account Information
When you register for Commerceflo, we collect information necessary to create and manage your account, including:
- Full name and job title of the account administrator
- Business email address
- Company name, size, and industry
- Business phone number
- Billing address
- Password (stored as a cryptographic hash — never in plain text)
Payment Information
All payment processing is handled by Stripe, Inc., a PCI DSS-compliant payment processor. Commerceflo does not store, transmit, or have access to full credit card numbers, CVV codes, or bank account details. We retain only non-sensitive billing metadata provided by Stripe, such as the last four digits of a card, card brand, and transaction IDs, for billing history and dispute resolution purposes.
Commerce Data
As part of normal platform operation, you upload and generate commerce data through the Service, including:
- Product catalogs, descriptions, images, variants, and pricing
- Order records, fulfillment details, and shipping data
- Customer records belonging to your business (names, emails, shipping addresses)
- Inventory levels, warehouse locations, and stock movements
- B2B customer accounts, pricing tiers, and purchase histories
You remain the owner and data controller of all commerce data you upload. Commerceflo processes this data solely to deliver the Service to you.
Usage Data
We collect data about how you use the platform, including:
- Features accessed and frequency of use
- AI credit consumption per operation and per session
- API call volume and response times
- Login timestamps, IP addresses, and session durations
- Errors encountered and support tickets submitted
Device and Browser Data
When you access the Service via a web browser, we automatically collect standard technical information including your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and referring URL. This data is used for security monitoring, fraud prevention, and aggregate analytics.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to maintain your session, remember preferences, and collect analytics. For full details, please review our Cookie Policy.

When you use Commerceflo's AI-powered features — such as AI product description generation, inventory analysis, pricing optimization, or the AI Commerce Agent — the following data is processed:
- Prompts and instructions you provide to AI features
- Commerce data submitted as context for AI operations (product data, order history, etc.)
- AI-generated outputs (descriptions, recommendations, analyses)
- Credit consumption logs associated with each AI operation
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Service delivery: Providing, maintaining, and improving the Commerceflo platform, including all AI features, integrations, and commerce operations.
- Payment and billing: Processing subscription payments, generating invoices, managing plan upgrades and downgrades, and resolving billing disputes.

4. AI Data Processing
Commerceflo's AI features are powered in part by the Anthropic Claude API. When you use an AI feature, relevant commerce data from your account is transmitted to Anthropic's API for processing and the response is returned to Commerceflo for display to you.
Important commitments regarding AI data:
- Your commerce data and AI prompts are not used to train Anthropic's foundational models or any third-party AI models.
- AI operations are logged within Commerceflo systems for a period of 12 months for billing (credit consumption tracking) and debugging purposes.
- AI-generated content — including product descriptions, recommendations, and analyses — is owned by you, the merchant. Commerceflo claims no intellectual property rights over content generated on your behalf.
- You are responsible for reviewing AI-generated content before publishing or acting on it. Commerceflo does not warrant that AI outputs will be accurate, complete, or suitable for any specific purpose.
Anthropic's data handling practices are governed by Anthropic's own privacy policy and API data usage agreements. Commerceflo maintains a data processing agreement with Anthropic to ensure appropriate protections for your data.
5. Data Sharing & Third Parties
We do not sell your personal data or your commerce data to any third party, ever. We share data only in the following circumstances:
- Anthropic: AI processing via the Claude API, as described in Section 4.
- Stripe: Payment processing for subscription billing and invoicing.
- Cloud infrastructure: Commerceflo is hosted on enterprise cloud infrastructure. Data is stored and processed on servers located in the United States. Our infrastructure providers are bound by appropriate data processing agreements.
- Marketplace APIs: When you connect a marketplace channel (such as Amazon, Walmart, eBay, or others), Commerceflo transmits relevant product, inventory, and order data to and from that marketplace's API on your behalf. You authorize this transmission when you connect the channel.
- Analytics providers: We use analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns. These providers receive anonymized or pseudonymized usage data.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Commerceflo, our customers, or the public.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you via email prior to any such transfer.
6. Data Retention
We retain your data as follows:
- Active accounts: All commerce data, account data, and usage data is retained for the duration of your active subscription.
- Free tier accounts: If your account enters the free tier (after trial expiry or plan downgrade), your commerce data is preserved indefinitely. We never delete your product catalogs, orders, or customer records as long as your account exists.
- Deleted accounts: When you delete your account, your data is removed from our production systems within 90 days. You will have the opportunity to export your data before deletion is finalized.
- AI operation logs: Logs of AI operations (prompts, outputs, credit usage) are retained for 12 months for billing verification and debugging, then permanently deleted.
- Backup systems: Deleted data may persist in encrypted backup archives for up to an additional 30 days after production deletion.
7. Data Security
Commerceflo takes security seriously. We implement industry-standard and enterprise-grade security controls, including:
- SOC 2 Type II certified: Our systems and processes are independently audited for security, availability, and confidentiality.
- Encryption at rest: All stored data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
- Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser or application and Commerceflo servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3.
- Access controls: Internal access to production systems and customer data is strictly role-based and requires multi-factor authentication.
- Audit logging: All access to customer data by Commerceflo personnel is logged and audited.
- Regular security assessments: We conduct periodic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments.
While we take all reasonable measures to protect your data, no security system is impenetrable. In the event of a data breach affecting your account, we will notify you in accordance with applicable laws.
