This exclusive white paper explores how modern brands can enhance visibility across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and other multimodal answer experiences—without sacrificing the journey from discovery to conversion. Real-world examples, structured-data best practices, and tools like JSON-LD, FAQ schema, and /llms.txt all feature prominently. Download it to see how AEO can become your next competitive advantage heading into Holiday 2025.
1. Who this policy is for
Syntheum provides Search & Discovery apps for SFCC and Shopify ("the App") that replaces a merchant's storefront search with AI-powered search and a conversational shopping assistant. This policy explains what personal data the App processes, why, and the choices available.
It covers two groups:
-
Merchants - Store owners and their staff who install and use the App.
-
Shoppers - Visitors and customers of a merchant's storefront who use the search widget or whose orders are measured for search attribution.
For shopper data, the merchant is the data controller and Syntheum acts as a data processor on the merchant's behalf. Our processing of shopper data is also governed by our Data Processing Addendum with the merchant.
