1) Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how [Developer/Company Legal Name] (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use [App Name] (the “App”).
Important: Google Play requires this policy to be publicly accessible at a live, non-editable URL and to clearly apply to the app and/or the entity shown on the store listing.
2) What information we collect
A. Information you provide
- Account information: email address, name (if provided), and authentication data (e.g., password or login tokens).
- Work/shift data: clock-in/clock-out times, shift notes you enter, approvals, and related records.
- Support messages: information you include when contacting us (e.g., via email).
B. Information collected automatically
- Device & log data: IP address, device identifiers, operating system/app version, crash logs, and basic diagnostic events.
- Usage data: feature usage, screens visited, and actions taken within the App (aggregated or associated with your account depending on configuration).
- Time zone / locale preferences: to display times correctly.
C. Sensitive permissions / data
By default, the App does not need sensitive device permissions (such as precise location, contacts, microphone, or SMS) unless you explicitly implement those features. If you add any such features later, you must update this policy and your Google Play Data safety disclosures accordingly.
3) How we use information
- Provide and operate the App (authentication, shift tracking, admin management).
- Improve reliability and security (monitoring, preventing abuse, debugging).
- Communicate with you about support requests, operational updates, and important notices.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms, if applicable.
4) How we share information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information in the following cases:
- Service providers: trusted vendors that process data on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, databases, email delivery, monitoring). Example: AWS infrastructure may store and serve your data.
- Legal and safety: to comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, or to protect rights and safety.
- Business transfers: if we’re involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (we’ll notify you as required).
5) Data retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide the App and for legitimate business purposes (e.g., recordkeeping, security, dispute resolution), unless a longer retention period is required by law.
6) Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
7) International transfers
We may process and store information on servers located in countries other than where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.
8) Your rights (EEA/UK and similar regions)
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, and/or receive a copy of your personal information. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
To exercise rights, contact us at [privacy-contact-email].
9) Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided information, contact us so we can delete it.
10) Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date and, where required, provide additional notice.
