Privacy policy

Last updated September 7, 2026

ShiftKeep is a take-home money app for delivery drivers. This page is the policy Google Play and the in-app Settings link should use. The marketing copy on the download page is not a substitute for it.

Who we are

ShiftKeep is operated as an independent Android app. We process data to calculate a tax cushion and a keep number, optionally back those records up, and email people who ask to hear when ShiftKeep Pro launches.

Data we collect

• Account info. If you sign in with Google for backup, we store your email, name, and Google subject id. We also store an app-generated device id and optional device name.
• Financial records you enter. Shift totals, base pay, tips, miles, platform, notes, expenses, receipt file URIs, estimated tax payments, and savings settings. We use these to show what you can keep and to restore a lost phone.
• Precise location, on the phone only. When you start automatic tracking, the app reads GPS to add miles. Coordinates stay in memory for the active trip. We do not upload routes or lat/long. Derived miles can be backed up if you turn backup on.
• Notifications. Used for the mileage-tracking notification and optional drive reminders. We do not use them to advertise.
• Pro waitlist email. If you submit an address for early access, we store that email and when you last asked.
• Receipts. You can attach a photo or PDF through the system picker. The file stays on the phone. Backup may store the local URI string, not the image bytes.

What we do not collect

• Payment cards or Play purchase tokens yet. Purchases are not available.
• Contacts, SMS, call logs, microphone, or camera permission.
• Advertising IDs, analytics vendors, crash reporters, or ad SDKs.
• Nearby gas-station location. FuelEconomy.gov prices are national defaults. The app does not send your location there.

How we use it

• App functionality: keep/tax-cushion math, mileage, reminders, and cloud restore.
• Account management: Google Sign-In, backup, and deletion.
• Waitlist: email you when Pro is ready, and only for that.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use your data for ads.

Sharing

• Our servers. Backup and waitlist data are stored on ShiftKeep’s backend. That is first-party collection, not a sale.
• Google. Sign-In uses Google to verify your identity. Google’s own policy applies to that prompt.
• FuelEconomy.gov. The app fetches public national fuel prices. No account or location is sent.
• Android Auto Backup is turned off so Google Drive does not copy your earnings database or sign-in token.

Location

Location is optional. The app asks only after you tap Start tracking and confirm an in-app disclosure. A persistent notification stays up while GPS miles are recorded, including if you leave the app or turn the screen off. We do not request “always” / background location permission. You can log shifts manually instead.

Retention

Local records stay on the phone until you delete them or uninstall. Cloud backup stays until you delete the backup, delete the account, or confirm a web deletion request. Waitlist emails stay until you delete the account, confirm a web request, or we close the list.

Deletion

If you created an account, you can delete it in the app under Settings → Backup → Delete Account. That removes the account, cloud records, local ShiftKeep data on that phone, and any waitlist row for the same email.

You can also request deletion on the web at http://shift-keep.com/delete-account. We email a confirmation link that expires in 48 hours. After you confirm, associated data is deleted except records we must keep if a law later requires it. We do not currently retain copies after deletion.

Local-only use (no sign-in) has no cloud account. Use Settings → Delete All Local Data, or uninstall.

Children

ShiftKeep is for adult drivers. We do not target children and do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

Security

Release builds talk to the API over HTTPS. Access to cloud records requires a signed-in token. No security measure is perfect.

Changes

If this policy changes in a material way, we will update this page and the date above. Continued use after an update means you accept the new policy.
