Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Shift Show respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our mobile application. Shift Show is a free, ad-supported scheduling app designed to operate without requiring user accounts or email registration.

2. Data Collection

We do not require you to log in, create an account, or provide any personal information such as your name or email address.

  • All schedule, task, and shift data you enter remains stored locally on your device.
  • We may collect anonymized technical information, such as device type, app version, and crash reports, to help improve app performance.
  • We use Firebase Crashlytics and Google AdMob to support analytics and display advertisements. These services may use device identifiers and cookies to provide relevant ads and measure performance.
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your data.
  • When users contact us by email, their email address and the contents of their message are stored on our cloud-based support desk platform, which is owned and operated by us.
  • Support communications, including email addresses and message contents submitted through our support channels, are stored on infrastructure hosted by third-party cloud service providers. These providers may process or have potential access to such data solely for the purpose of hosting, security, backup, and maintaining the availability of our support systems. They are not authorized to use this information for their own purposes.
  • Business Email Compromise: While we implement reasonable security measures to protect support communications, email-based communication may be subject to risks such as phishing, spoofing, or Business Email Compromise (BEC). Users should be aware that attackers may attempt to impersonate trusted parties via email. We recommend exercising caution when responding to unexpected or sensitive requests sent via email, as no electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

3. Advertising

Shift Show displays ads to support our free service. Ads are provided by trusted third-party networks such as Google AdMob.

  • These partners may collect limited, non-identifiable data such as device information, app usage, or coarse location to display relevant ads.
  • You can review and control AdMob’s data use in Google’s Advertising Policy.
  • No personalized advertising data is linked to your identity, as we do not store or collect personal details.

4. Data Storage and Security

  • Your data is stored locally on your device and may also be manually uploaded to your personal Google Drive account. We do not have access to, nor can we view, any data stored on your device or in your Google Drive account. Additionally, we do not maintain cloud backups or remote databases that store user information.
  • If you uninstall the app or clear its data, any schedules stored on your device may be permanently deleted, depending on your device and device settings. To permanently delete your data, open the app’s settings, select Clear Data, and then choose Clear Device Data.
  • We apply reasonable technical measures to ensure the app’s stability and integrity but cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Subject Rights

Because we do not collect personally identifiable information, most data protection rights (such as access or deletion requests) do not apply. However, you can delete all locally stored data by clearing the app’s data.

6. Legal Compliance

We handle all information in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of South Africa and other international data protection standards.

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app changes or legal updates. Significant changes will be communicated through in-app notices or update prompts. The latest version will always be available at https://shiftshow.app/privacy.html.
