AnyShift Privacy Policy
Last Modified: January 9, 2024
Introduction
AnyShift created, develops, and maintains an online software and mobile platform on which businesses (“Partners”) and workers (“Shifters”) connect to fill one-time and/or recurring work opportunities. When you use our platform, including our websites, mobile applications, content, and services (collectively our “Services”), you share your information with us. Because we value your privacy, this policy (our “Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect, use, and share your personal data.
Please carefully read this Privacy Policy as by accessing or using our Services in any capacity, you agree to our Terms and expressly authorize us to collect, receive, use, retain, and disclose or transmit your Information to third parties as described. Because you cannot access or use our Services without accepting our Terms, if you have any questions, contact us at any@anyshift.com.
What We Collect
In this Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” “our” and “AnyShift” all refer to AnyShift Technologies, Inc. dba AnyShift and our affiliates, and “you” and “your” refer to you, as a user of our Services as a Partner, Shifters, Reference, or otherwise. Similarly, we reference the collective information you provide us as your “Information,” which is comprised of your Personal Information, Non-Personal Information, and Usage Data.
“Personal Information” (sometimes called “Personally Identifiable Information”) refers to information which personally identifies you—whether alone or when combined with Usage Data and Non-Personal Information—including but not limited to your name, email address, social security number, mailing and/or physical address, mobile device number, telephone number, government identification number(s), date of birth, your photograph, and other information or data that identifies you.
Personal Information may also include information you provide us in connection with a payment service (“Payment Service”) offered to you as a convenience in association with the Services, whereby you can maintain your credit card or bank account information (each a “Payment Account”) securely with us in connection with your Registered Account, as defined below. If you maintain in good standing an open business debit card account made available through AnyShift (an “AnyShift Debit Account”) for business-related expenses, we may collect information related to your AnyShift Debit Account, including your transactions and other activities pertaining to your use of that account. Such information may also include, depending on whether it can be reasonably linked to your other Personal Information or used to identify you, your IP address, MAC address, device-specific information (including hardware information about any device you are using to access or use the Services, such as your UDID or hardware model information), device type, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, serial numbers, mobile network information, file names and versions, preferred languages, operating system information (including your operating system version), browser type, location information, user preferences, dates and times of use of the Services, browsing activity and browsing history, and features you have used (collectively, “Usage Data”).
Personal Information and Personally Identifiable Information also include certain combinations of information that meet the applicable statutory or other legal definition of “Personally Identifiable Information” or “Personal Information” for purposes of breach notification (“Statutory PII”).
“Non-Personal Information” refers to information that does not personally or specifically identify you, and may include aggregate or non-specific Usage Data and information about devices, operating systems, browsing activities, browsing histories, locations, dates and times of use of the Services, usage and traffic patterns, and other non-personally identifying analytics and information about users of our Services.
Information You Give Directly to Us
Partners and Shifters use our Services to match available work opportunities with available workers who possess a relevant skill set, and the information we collect is intended to support this goal. To make these worker connections, both parties must register for and maintain an active Services account (a “Registered Account”). For example, if you post a shift on behalf of a Partner or create a related Registered Account, we may collect your name, email address, and other Personal Information about you and the Partner. Similarly, if you are a Shifter, we may collect your name, email address, home address, and other Personal Information you submit as part of the registration, profile creation, or shift-matching process (including your resume, name and contact information for your References and related data pertinent to using the Services). Specifically, we collect information about you (including Personal Information) that you choose to submit to us in connection with your use of our Services, including information submitted when you:
Information Created When You Use The Services
This includes:
Location Information: Depending on the Services you use and your mobile application settings or device permissions, AnyShift may collect your precise or approximate location information, as determined through data such as GPS, IP address, and WiFi. AnyShift collects location information when the mobile application is running in the foreground (mobile application open and on-screen) of your device. AnyShift may collect this information when the mobile application is running in the background of your device if this collection is enabled through your application settings or device permissions. You may use the mobile application without enabling AnyShift to collect your location information. However, this may affect the functionality of the mobile application, and you may not be able to use all features of the Services. For example, to book a shift offered through our Services, you must enable AnyShift to collect your location information.
Transaction Information: We collect transaction details and information related to your use of the Services, including the types of Services you requested or provided (such as shift requests), dates, times and durations of j services engagements, engagement fees, purchases made with a business debit card (if you choose to use this service through AnyShift), and other related transaction details and information.
Usage and Preference Information: We collect information about how you interact with our Services, your preferences and settings chosen. In some cases we collect Usage Data through the use of cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar technologies that create and maintain unique identifiers. A cookie is a piece of data or text file on your computer that identifies you as a unique user. A web beacon is an object that is embedded in a page or email and is usually invisible to the user but allows checking whether a user has viewed the page or email. We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags and similar technologies for several purposes, including to improve the quality of the Services and to make the Services easier to use. We may combine Usage Data with Personal Information in a manner that enables us to trace Usage Data to an individual user, and may collect, use, preserve and disclose Usage Data in any manner that we may collect, use, preserve and disclose Personal Information as provided herein (whether Usage Data is combined with any Personal Information or otherwise). As more particularly described below in this Privacy Policy, we sometimes use certain third-party tools and services to assist us in collecting Usage Data. Certain of the third-party tools and services use cookies or web beacons to help analyze how users use the Services. We do not access or control these third-party cookies or web beacons; however, we may have access to data generated from their use, such as when we view analytics reports provided by such third-party tools and services.
Device Information: We may collect information about the devices you use to access our Services, including any related Usage Data.
Log Information: When you interact with our Services, we collect server logs, which may include Usage Data and information like device IP address, access dates and times, application features or pages viewed, application crashes and other system activity, browser type, and the third-party site or service you were using before interacting with our Services.
Calls and Text Messages: In addition to our Communications with Partners and Shifters, we enable users of our Services to communicate with each other directly through communications initiated by them through the Services. For example, we enable Partners and Shifters to contact one another directly through the Services. AnyShift receives some information regarding such calls or texts, including the date and time of the applicable call or text, and the content of the text messages. AnyShift may use this information for customer support services (including to resolve disputes between users), for safety and security purposes, and for analytics. Additionally, in order to provide the Services to you, AnyShift will communicate with you with Communications or through its Alert Service, which includes contacting or messaging you by telephone, email, short message service or text message. Additionally, AnyShift and its partners and affiliates may contact you at any telephone number(s) you provide in connection with your use of the Services. By providing your contact information, you consent to receive Communications (including Communications containing an artificial voice or prerecorded message or made using an automatic telephone dialing system) from us, our affiliates and partners, and any Partner from which you are seeking a shift, at any of the contact information you provided, including your wireless number, even if that number is registered on a corporate, state, or national do-not-call registry.
Address Book and Calendar Information: If you permit AnyShift or the Services (such as AnyShift’s mobile applications) to access the address book or contacts on your device, we may collect names and contact information (including phone numbers, phone labels, email addresses, mailing addresses and birthdays) from your address book to facilitate social interactions through our Services and for other purposes described in this Privacy Policy or at the time of consent or collection. If you permit the Services (including AnyShift’s mobile applications) to access the calendar on your device, we may collect calendar information such as event title and description, your response (Yes, No, Maybe), date and time, location, and number of attendees. If you permit AnyShift or the Services to access your address book or contacts on your device, you expressly represent and warrant that you have the right to allow AnyShift to access your address book and contacts and that AnyShift has the right to use your address book and contacts in connection with the Services.

AnyShift may combine the information collected from these sources with other information in its possession.

We also may disclose Non-Personal Information to third parties in a manner that does not identify a particular individual. For example, and not by way of limitation, we may disclose aggregated Personal Information (i.e., Non-Personal Information) to marketing and research partners and/or for advertising, marketing and promotional purposes. In addition, we may identify job posting organizations in our Services and in our advertising, marketing and promotional materials.

We may, from time to time, assign or transfer all or a portion of the Usage Data, Personal Information and/or Non-Personal Information and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more third parties (whether in connection with a sale of assets, a merger or otherwise), in which case the successor or assignee will agree to abide by the obligations under this Privacy Policy with respect to such information transferred to such successor or assignee (unless otherwise agreed to by you and such successor or assignee).

If you do not wish your information to be transferred in this way, do not use the Services.

Security
We and our service providers employ certain procedural and technological security measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your Personal Information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Such measures, or any data transmission over the Internet or any network, cannot be guaranteed to be perfectly secure or effective. As a result, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or that is submitted on your behalf, and such information is transmitted and submitted at your own risk.
You agree to keep your Personal Information private and confidential, and not to share information and materials that you receive by or through our Services with any third-party other than through the general, non-commercial methods permitted by the Services. In no event may Shifters or Partners share any information or materials with respect to their Account access and shift postings with any third-party.
