Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
This page explains what Shift & Pay ("we," "the site") collects and how it is used. The site is run by an independent owner and is aimed at visitors in the United States.
What we collect and why
Traffic statistics. We count visits to understand which pages and tools are used. A small script on our pages sends the page name (without anything after a "?" or "#" in the address), an event name, a random visitor ID, and a label for certain button clicks, such as the schedule, pay, and countdown tools. Our statistics storage keeps totals by day, month, page, and event, plus a marker for each visitor ID per month so we can count unique visitors. It does not store IP addresses, browser details, or email addresses, and it does not keep the click labels. These totals and markers have no set expiry. Because the activity counts are combined totals, we cannot remove one person's past activity from them.
Your schedule and pay settings. The schedule pattern, start date, shift label, pay period, shift times, hourly rate, and overtime settings you enter on the homepage are saved in your browser's local storage on your device so they are there when you return. The embedded tools on guide pages do not save their settings between visits. We do not receive a copy of your saved setup. The traffic-statistics click labels described above may identify a tool or schedule pattern you select. Printing, backing up to a file, and restoring from a file all happen on your device. The Reset button clears the saved settings. Clearing your browser's site data also removes them, so back up anything you want to keep.
Browser storage. Our application does not set cookies. In addition to your saved settings, browser storage holds a random visitor ID, your light or dark theme choice, and a statistics-exclusion flag. These local-storage entries have no programmed expiry. A session-storage timestamp is used to count visits and normally lasts for the browsing session; browser session restoration may retain it. If the site owner opens the statistics dashboard with an access key, that key is also saved in that browser.
Hosting. The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which processes requests and provides security and traffic information. Cloudflare may keep technical logs, such as IP addresses, browser details, and requested URLs, under its own policies and the service's configuration. Cloudflare may use security-related cookies or similar technologies.
Contact messages. If you use the contact form, we receive your message and any name or email you choose to give, along with the message type and optional rating. The contact handler attempts to forward these details through Cloudflare’s email service to the site owner’s Gmail inbox. Delivery and replies are not guaranteed. The handler does not save submissions in the site database. The site code does not control retention in email systems. You can use Contact to request manual deletion of a message you sent.
Other things
- The application currently serves no ads and includes no advertising-service integration or affiliate links. If that changes, we will update this page.
- Links to other sites lead to services with their own privacy policies.
Your choices. You can stop this browser from being counted by opening /exclude-stats on this site. Exclusion applies only to that browser and site address. Clearing site storage removes the exclusion flag, so open /exclude-stats again afterward. You can ask to see or delete any contact message you sent us. Because statistics are combined totals, we cannot remove an individual's past visits.
Children. This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, use Contact to request manual deletion. No deletion deadline or removal from provider backups is promised.
Contact. Use the Contact page for any privacy question or request. Privacy requests can be submitted through Contact. We aim to respond but cannot guarantee a reply.
Changes. We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above.
