    WooCommerce Privacy Requirements

    Running a WooCommerce store adds significant privacy obligations beyond a standard WordPress site. Here is what your policy must cover.

    1

    Checkout Data Collection

    WooCommerce collects billing/shipping addresses, email, phone, payment details, and order history. Each must be disclosed with the legal basis for processing.

    2

    Payment Gateway Disclosures

    Every payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.Net) has different data practices. Your privacy policy must reference each gateway's own privacy policy.

    3

    Customer Account Data

    Registered customers have accounts with order history, saved addresses, and payment methods. You must disclose retention periods and allow data export/deletion.

    4

    WooCommerce GDPR Tools

    Since WooCommerce 3.4, built-in GDPR tools support data export and erasure. Your privacy policy must document how customers can exercise these rights.

    PolicyForge handles all WooCommerce requirements automatically

    Our AI detects your WooCommerce setup, payment gateways, and extensions, then generates compliant disclosures for each.
