Privacy Policy
Effective
Opterra Systems, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), operates the Sellary platform, website, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use the Service, whether as a seller ("you" or "Seller") or as a buyer interacting with a Seller's checkout experience ("Buyer").
This policy describes how we handle your information. We encourage you to read it carefully. For questions, contact us at legal@sellary.app.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information You Provide
- Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you upgrade to a paid plan, we collect billing information through our payment processor, Stripe.
- Workspace and Business Information: Business name, store settings, product listings, and inventory data you enter into the Service.
- Integration Credentials: API keys and OAuth tokens for third-party services (Meta, Stripe, Shippo) that you connect to Sellary. These are encrypted at rest in our production systems.
- Shipping Information: Sender addresses, package dimensions, and carrier preferences you configure for label creation.
- Communications: Messages you send to us via email or support channels.
1.2 Information Collected from Buyers
When Buyers interact with Seller checkout links generated by Sellary, we collect:
- Contact Information: Name, email address, and phone number (if provided).
- Shipping Address: Street address, city, state, postal code, and country for order fulfillment.
- Payment Information: Payment details are collected and processed directly by Stripe. We do not store full credit card numbers, CVVs, or bank account details on our servers.
Our Role. The Company acts as the data controller (or "business" under the CCPA) for: Seller account and billing data, platform security and fraud prevention, aggregated product analytics, support communications, and legal compliance. With respect to Buyer order and checkout data, the Company acts as a data processor (or "service provider" under the CCPA) when processing that data solely on behalf of the Seller for order fulfillment, shipping, and payment processing. For the Company's own platform purposes — such as preventing fraud, resolving disputes, and enforcing our Terms — we act as a controller for Buyer data as well. Sellers are responsible for their own privacy practices and for ensuring they have a lawful basis to collect Buyer data through the Service.
1.3 Information Collected Automatically
- Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, actions taken, session duration, and timestamps.
- Device and Browser Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and device type.

1.4 Information from Third Parties
- Social Media Platforms: When you connect Facebook or Instagram, we receive your account ID, page names, profile information, and live video comment data as authorized through the Meta OAuth flow.
- Payment Processor: Stripe provides us with transaction status, payment confirmations, and payout information.
- Shipping Provider: Shippo provides carrier rates, tracking information, and label status updates.
2. How We Use Your Information

We will not attempt to re-identify de-identified data except as permitted by law or to test our de-identification processes.
5. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
