Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

ShiftSync: Shift & Overtime (“ShiftSync”, “we”, “the app”) is a productivity app developed by MT Core Studio (contact: mtcorestudio@gmail.com). This policy explains what data the app collects, how it is used, and your choices. By using the app you agree to this policy.

The canonical, live copy of this policy is hosted at: https://github.com/MTCoreStudio/ShiftSync-Shift-Overtime-Privacy-Policy-

1. Data you create

Your shifts, settings and schedule are stored locally on your device using on-device storage (AsyncStorage). We do not operate servers, and we do not collect, transmit, or store your schedule on our systems. You can delete everything at any time from Settings → Clear local data.

2. Camera & photo library

The camera and photo library are used only to capture and open shift rosters so the on-device OCR feature can auto-fill your schedule. Recognised text is processed entirely on your device using Google ML Kit OCR. Photos you scan are never uploaded anywhere, and we cannot access them.

3. Advertising

ShiftSync is free and funded by advertising. We use Google AdMob as the primary ad network and may use Start.io as a fallback.

• Before we serve ads, the app shows a consent screen powered by Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) so that advertising complies with the GDPR / EU User Consent Policy, UK data-protection law, and US state privacy laws (including regulated US states).
• Where consent is required but not yet obtained, no personalised ads are shown.
• Ad networks may collect and process data such as:
  • Device identifiers (e.g. the Android Advertising ID)
  • Approximate location
  • App usage and interaction data
  • Technical device information

This data is used to deliver and measure advertising. It is subject to the ad networks’ own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google UMP: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/10113027
• Start.io: https://www.start.io/privacy

4. Permissions

• Camera — to photograph shift rosters for on-device OCR.
• Photo library (system picker) — opening existing roster images from your gallery uses the Android system photo picker (and the iOS system picker), which works without any broad photo/video storage permission. Selected images are only used for on-device OCR and are never uploaded.
• Internet — required to load and display ads (after consent). No personal data from your schedules is transmitted.
• Advertising ID — used by ad networks for advertising and measurement, subject to your UMP consent choices and your device’s ad personalisation settings.

5. Data safety summary (as listed on the Play Store)

• Data collected: None collected by the developer. The app does not collect or share your schedule data.
• Data encrypted in transit: Yes (HTTPS only).
• Data deletion: Your schedule can be deleted on-device from Settings → Clear local data.

6. Your choices

• Ad personalisation: You can opt out of personalised advertising in your device’s Google → Ads settings at any time.
• Consent & privacy options: At any time you can review or update your consent choices (a “Privacy Options” form is provided by UMP where applicable).
• Delete data: Remove all locally stored schedule data from Settings → Clear local data.

7. Children

The app is intended for general audiences (productivity/tools). It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through an ad, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always available at the privacy-policy repository linked above, and the in-app “Settings → About” reflects the terms under which the app operates.

9. Contact
