1. Overview & Data Roles

OrdersPilot ("OrdersPilot", "we", "us", or "our") operates an enterprise Order Management System (OMS) purpose-built for high-volume D2C e-commerce brands running on Shopify. This Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal data collected through our website (https://orderspilot.com), our Shopify App application, and our integrated platform services.

As a Data Processor

When processing end-customer order details, shipping addresses, telephone numbers, and COD verification logs on behalf of connected Shopify merchants, OrdersPilot acts strictly as a Data Processor(Data Fiduciary's processor under DPDP Act).

As a Data Fiduciary

For direct merchant account signups, business contact details, platform usage metrics, and subscription billing information, OrdersPilot acts as the Data Fiduciary (Data Controller).

We collect only the minimum necessary information required to operate a high-reliability OMS, execute automated COD verification workflows, sync multi-store inventories, and route courier orders.
