Is this app GDPR and CCPA compliant? Will it expose my customers' sensitive data?

The app also lists GDPR compliance as a supported feature on its Shopify App Store listing.
What happens to my recorded session data if I uninstall the app?
Session replay and heatmap data is stored on a 30-day rolling window on all plans, including the free tier — older sessions are automatically purged. If you want specific records deleted sooner, you can contact support@propelcommerce.io and deletion is completed within 5 business days per the developer's DPA.
Will this app slow down my store's page speed?
The app injects its tracking script via Shopify's ScriptTag API, which does not modify your theme files directly. It has earned Shopify's 'Built for Shopify' badge, which requires meeting Shopify's highest standards for performance, design, and integration. One reviewer noted it 'works consistently' and is 'reliable,' with occasional missed recordings attributed to Shopify-level issues common to all similar apps.
