Who we are
ShiftChores is provided by [ShiftChores legal entity]. For the data businesses put into ShiftChores about their staff, the business is in charge of that data and we process it on its behalf. For our own customer and billing records, we are responsible.
What we collect
- Account details: names and email addresses of managers and employees. We don’t use passwords; you sign in with a one-time emailed link.
- Work records: schedules, check-ins and sign-outs, the chores assigned and done, how long they took, approvals, notes, points and rewards.
- Photos: pictures employees take as proof a chore is done, when the business requires them. They’re deleted automatically after [180] days.
- Billing: the business’s plan, billing email and payment status. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach our servers.
- Technical data: sign-in sessions (a cookie that keeps you signed in), and server logs of requests (time, page, result) kept for security and troubleshooting; a sign-in log (when you asked for or used a sign-in link and signed out, your device and browser, and your IP address), kept for a year; and how much you use ShiftChores each day (days and minutes active), kept for two years. Your employer’s managers can see your sign-ins, device and use of ShiftChores at their organization, but not your IP address. We don’t use advertising or tracking cookies.
How we use it
To run the service for the business you work for: share out chores, show progress, run approvals, rewards and reports, send sign-in links and account emails, and keep the service secure. We don’t sell personal data or use it for advertising.
Who we share it with
Service providers that help us run ShiftChores, under contract: Microsoft Azure (hosting, email delivery and storage), Stripe (payments) and, if used, Cloudflare (bot protection on sign-up). If your business connects a scheduling system, ShiftChores exchanges schedule data with it. We may disclose data if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
While the business’s account is active, and up to [90] days after it ends, unless the business asks us to delete it sooner or the law requires us to keep it longer. Backups are kept for 14 days.
Your choices and rights
Employees should first contact their employer, who controls their work records. You can also ask us, at privacy@shiftchores.com, to access, correct or delete your personal data. When we remove someone, their sign-in is deleted and their past work records become anonymous.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Sign-in links work once and expire after 15 minutes. Sessions are kept in secure cookies that page scripts can’t read. Every organization’s data is kept separate, and ShiftChores staff access is limited, requires two-step sign-in, and is logged.
