**Protected Customer Data**

Apps that use the Customer Account MCP server must comply with Shopify’s [protected customer data requirements](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/protected-customer-data). Specifically, your app needs "Level 2" protected customer data permissions.

To request these permissions:
* Log in to your Shopify Partners dashboard.
* Navigate to Apps and select your app under the Developer Dashboard apps tab.
* Click API access requests.
* Click Request access under the Protected customer data section.
* Provide a clear reason for requesting each data field (name, email, phone, address).
Apps that use the Customer Account MCP server must comply with Shopify's [protected customer data requirements](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/protected-customer-data). Your app will need:
* Protected customer data (Level 1) access
* Protected customer field (Level 2) access for specific data fields (name, email, phone, address)

Note: While developing with a development store, access to protected customer data will be automatically granted. However, when preparing to publish your app, you'll need to:

1. Log in to your Shopify Partners dashboard
2. Navigate to Apps and select your app under the Developer Dashboard apps tab
3. Click API access requests
4. Request access for both Level 1 (Protected customer data) and Level 2 (Protected customer fields)

You'll need to provide reasons for accessing each data field during the app review process when publishing your app, but this is not required during development.

**Update your app's TOML file**
