This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who interact with the BOPOWO platform and services operated by MUTAO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (trading as BOPOWO), including:

  • Registered users: Individuals or businesses who create a BOPOWO account to use our tools
  • Amazon sellers connecting via OAuth: Sellers who authorize BOPOWO to access their Amazon Selling Partner account through Amazon's OAuth 2.0 authorization flow
  • Website visitors: Anyone who visits bopowo.com or any BOPOWO subdomain

This policy covers all data collected through our web application, APIs, and any related services. It describes what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.

3. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Account Information: Full name, email address, password (stored as a salted hash β€” never in plain text), company name, country/region, and account preferences when you register.

Amazon Seller Data (via SP-API): Data we access on your behalf through Amazon's Selling Partner API, subject to your explicit OAuth authorization. The specific data we access is detailed in Section 4 below.

Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, actions taken within the platform, session duration, browser type and version, device type, operating system, and IP address. This is collected for platform performance and security purposes.

Support Communications: Messages, screenshots, or other content you send us via email, in-app support chat, or our contact form. This data is retained to resolve your issue and improve support quality.

Billing Records: Payment method type (e.g., card last four digits), billing address, subscription tier, transaction dates, and amounts. Full payment card numbers are never stored β€” all payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third-party processors.

4. Amazon SP-API β€” Data We Access

When you connect your Amazon seller account, you explicitly authorize BOPOWO to access specific Amazon data through the official Selling Partner API (SP-API) and Amazon Advertising API. We access only the minimum data necessary for each feature. Below is a complete disclosure of every API we use, what data is accessed, and the purpose:

Listings Items API (used by Listing Suite): We access your product listing data including ASINs, SKUs, listing titles, bullet points, descriptions, images, pricing, and listing status. Purpose: to display, analyze, and enable editing of your product listings within the Listing Suite tool.

Catalog Items API (used by Listing Suite and Brand Hub): We access Amazon's product catalog data including catalog attributes, browse node classification, product type schemas, and Best Seller Rank (BSR) data. Purpose: to enrich your listing data and validate listing content against Amazon's catalog requirements (Listing Suite); and to track competitor BSR trends in your product categories (Brand Hub β€” Competitor Tracking feature).

Product Type Definitions API (used by Listing Suite): We access Amazon's product type schema definitions and attribute requirements for product categories. Purpose: to validate listing attributes and guide you in creating policy-compliant listings.

A+ Content API (used by Listing Suite): We access your A+ Content modules and Brand Story content associated with your ASINs, including content status, layout modules, and published content. Purpose: to display, create, and manage A+ Content and Brand Story modules within the Listing Suite tool, allowing you to build and update enhanced content without switching to Seller Central.

Orders API (used by Profit Dashboard): We access order-level data including order IDs, order dates, order status, item quantities, sales amounts, marketplace, and fulfillment channel. We also retrieve buyer name and shipping address solely to display within your Profit Dashboard. Buyer contact information from the Orders API is displayed within your authenticated dashboard session only and is NOT stored, cached, or persisted in our databases. See Section 5 for full details on buyer data handling.

Finances API (used by Profit Dashboard): We access financial event data including settlement reports, fee breakdowns (referral fees, FBA fees, advertising costs), reimbursements, and promotional discounts. Purpose: to calculate and display accurate profit and margin data in your Profit Dashboard.

FBA Inventory API (used by Profit Dashboard): We access your FBA inventory levels, reserved quantities, stranded inventory counts, and inbound shipment data. Purpose: to display inventory health metrics and stock-out risk indicators in your Profit Dashboard.

Reports API (used across multiple features): We access Amazon-generated reports including inventory reports, order reports, payment reports, advertising reports, and customer review reports (GET_CUSTOMER_REVIEWS_DATA). Purpose: to power analytics dashboards and enable data export features within BOPOWO (Profit Dashboard), and to retrieve customer review data for review monitoring and sentiment tracking within Brand Hub.

Sponsored Products API (used by Ads Manager): We access your Sponsored Products campaigns, ad groups, keywords, bids, and performance metrics (impressions, clicks, spend, sales). Purpose: to display, analyze, and enable management of your Sponsored Products advertising within Ads Manager.

Brand Analytics API (used by Listing Suite and Brand Hub): We access aggregated brand analytics data including search term performance (Search Query Performance reports), market basket analysis, item comparison, and demographic reports. All Brand Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized by Amazon before delivery to us β€” we do not receive, process, or store any individual buyer identifiers or personally identifiable information through this API. Purpose: to track organic keyword share-of-voice and search term performance within the Listing Suite Keyword Rank Tracking feature; and to surface brand performance trends and competitive insights within Brand Hub.

Brand Stores API (used by Brand Hub): We access your Amazon Brand Store pages, store metrics, and store performance data. Purpose: to display store analytics and enable store content management within Brand Hub.

Product Pricing API (used by Brand Hub): We access competitive pricing data for ASINs in your product categories, including buy box pricing and listed prices. Purpose: to display competitor pricing trends within the Brand Hub Competitor Tracking feature. We access only publicly available pricing information for ASINs relevant to your connected seller account's product categories.

All API access occurs only within the scope of permissions you explicitly grant during the OAuth authorization flow. We do not access APIs or data scopes beyond what is necessary for the features you use.

5. Buyer Data Protection

The protection of Amazon buyer data is a critical obligation and a core commitment of MUTAO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED. We adhere strictly to Amazon's Buyer Data Protection Policy. The following rules govern our handling of all buyer information:

We do NOT store buyer personally identifiable information (PII). Buyer names, shipping addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses retrieved through the Orders API are displayed within your authenticated seller dashboard session only. This data is NOT written to our databases, NOT cached on our servers, and NOT persisted in any storage medium.

Buyer PII is display-only. When you view order details in your Profit Dashboard, buyer contact information is fetched from Amazon's API in real time and rendered in your browser. It is not retained after your session or used for any other purpose.

We do NOT use buyer data for marketing or profiling. Buyer information is never used to send marketing communications, build audience profiles, create advertising segments, or for any purpose other than displaying it to the authorized seller.

We do NOT share buyer data with third parties. Buyer PII retrieved through the Orders API is never transmitted to, shared with, or made accessible to any third party, including our own service providers and subprocessors.

We do NOT sell buyer data. Under no circumstances does MUTAO INTERNATIONAL LIMITED sell, license, or otherwise monetize buyer information.

Compliance with Amazon Buyer Data Protection Policy. Our data handling practices are designed to comply fully with Amazon's Buyer Data Protection Policy as published in the Amazon Developer Agreement.

Seller responsibility for exports. If you use BOPOWO's data export features to download order data to your own systems, you are solely responsible for handling that exported data in compliance with Amazon's policies, applicable data protection laws, and your own privacy obligations to buyers.

Security and Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent unauthorized access, fraudulent activity, abuse of the platform, and security incidents. We analyze usage patterns and access logs for this purpose.

Platform Improvement: To understand how users interact with BOPOWO, identify bugs, improve features, and plan new functionality. Usage analytics are processed in aggregate and do not identify individual users in reports.

Encryption at Rest: All databases, backups, and file storage containing personal data are encrypted using AES-256 encryption. OAuth tokens and API credentials are stored with additional application-layer encryption.

Encryption in Transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers, and between our servers and Amazon's APIs, uses TLS 1.2 or higher. We enforce HTTPS on all endpoints and use HSTS headers.

Access Controls: Access to production systems and personal data is restricted to authorized personnel on a strict least-privilege basis. All administrative access requires multi-factor authentication (MFA). Access rights are reviewed quarterly and revoked immediately upon role change or departure.

Network Security: We deploy Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and DDoS protection on all public-facing services. Network traffic is monitored and anomalous patterns trigger automated alerts.

Penetration Testing: We conduct penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by qualified third-party security professionals at minimum annually, with targeted testing following significant platform changes. Critical vulnerabilities are remediated within 48 hours of discovery.

Monitoring: Our systems are monitored 24/7 for security events, unauthorized access attempts, and anomalous behavior. Security alerts are triaged by our engineering team within 4 hours.

Subprocessor Security: All third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf are required to maintain security standards at least equivalent to our own, evidenced by relevant certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent).

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we implement industry-standard best practices, we cannot guarantee absolute security. To report a potential security vulnerability, email security@bopowo.com.
