Privacy Policy for Shift Tracker
Last Updated: February 21, 2026
Introduction
Shift Tracker ("the App") is designed to help users track their work shifts, calculate allowances, and analyze shift data. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your information.
Our Commitment to Your Privacy
We do not collect, transmit, or share any of your personal data. All information you enter into the App remains stored locally on your device.
Information Storage
What Data is Stored Locally on Your Device
The App stores the following information locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework:
- Shift Records:
- Shift dates and times (start time, end time, decimal hours)
- Duty types (e.g., Uniform Duty, Training, etc.)
- Team assignments (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo)
- Call signs
- Crew size information
- Operational classification (Ops/Non-Ops)
- Operational Statistics (when applicable):
- Number of messages
- Persons checked
- Vehicles checked
- Arrests made
- Arrest message numbers
- Financial Information:
- Hourly rate(s) you set
- Rate period history with effective dates
- Calculated allowances (computed from your hours and rates)
- App Settings:
- Your preferences for rate calculations
All this data is stored exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to any servers or third parties.
What We Do NOT Collect
The App does NOT collect, access, transmit, or share:
- ❌Personal identifying information (name, email, phone number, address)
- ❌Location data or GPS coordinates
- ❌Device identifiers
- ❌Usage analytics or crash reports
- ❌Advertising identifiers
- ❌Contacts, photos, or other media
- ❌Browser history or search history
- ❌Any data from other apps
Network Activity
The App does not connect to the internet. There are no network requests, no analytics services, and no data transmission of any kind. The App functions entirely offline.
Data Export and Import
User-Controlled Data Export
The App provides an optional feature to export your shift data to a JSON file. This export:
- Is completely optional and initiated only by you
- Creates a file stored locally on your device or shared via iOS share sheet
- Includes your shift records and rate periods
- Gives you full control over where the file is sent (e.g., AirDrop, Files app, email)
- Does not automatically send data anywhere
User-Controlled Data Import
The App allows you to import previously exported JSON files:
- Only works with files you explicitly select
- Merges imported data with existing local data
- Does not transmit data anywhere
iCloud Backup
If you have enabled iCloud Backup in your device settings, your iOS device may automatically back up the App's local data to your personal iCloud account. This is controlled by your device's system settings, not by the App.
To manage iCloud Backup:
- Go to iOS Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud → Manage Storage → Backups
- Select your device
- Toggle Shift Tracker on or off under "Choose Data to Back Up"
Data Security
Your data security is important:
- All data is stored locally using Apple's secure SwiftData framework
- The App uses iOS's built-in security features
- Data is protected by your device's passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID
- No data is transmitted over networks, eliminating transmission-related security risks
Data Retention and Deletion
- You control all data: All shift records and settings are under your complete control
- Delete individual records: Swipe to delete any unlocked shift
- Delete all data: Uninstalling the App from your device removes all stored data
- No remote copies: Since no data is transmitted, there are no server-side copies to delete
Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13. Since all data remains on the device and is entered by the user, we do not have access to any user information regardless of age.
Third-Party Services
The App does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or social media platforms.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
International Users
The App is designed to work only in Singapore and stores all data locally on your device, regardless of your location. No data crosses international borders through the App itself (though iCloud backup, if enabled, follows Apple's iCloud terms of service).
Your Rights
Since all data is stored locally on your device and we do not collect or have access to your information:
- Right to Access: You can view all your data within the App
- Right to Modify: You can edit any unlocked shift records
- Right to Delete: You can delete any records or uninstall the App
- Right to Export: You can export your data to JSON format
- Right to Privacy: Your data never leaves your device (except via user-initiated export or system-level iCloud backup)
App Store Privacy Nutrition Labels
In accordance with Apple's App Store requirements, we declare:
Data Not Collected:
- The App does not collect any data linked to you
- The App does not collect any data for tracking purposes
- The App does not collect any data for third-party advertising
Legal Compliance
This App complies with:
- General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

- Other applicable privacy laws
Since the App does not collect, transmit, or process user data, most data protection regulations do not apply to its operation.

Summary
Shift Tracker is designed with privacy at its core. All your shift data, statistics, and settings remain on your device. We don't collect it, we don't see it, and we don't share it. You have complete control over your information.
