Notice at Collection
Read this before you activate a ShiftPulse account. It is the short version — the full Privacy Policy has the detail.
The short version
- ShiftPulse is a work tool licensed by your employer. There is no public sign-up.
- Your employer's supervisors and administrators can see your schedule, overtime and attendance data — that is the point of the app.
- We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising.
- Location is read only at the moment you scan to clock, to confirm you are on site. Never in the background.
- The camera is used only to read a QR code. No image is stored or uploaded.
- Coworkers see only your name, crew, shift type, position and seniority rank — never your email, phone number, attendance history or pay information.
- No advertising cookies, analytics or tracking. See the Cookie & Local Storage Policy.
- ShiftPulse does not use AI or machine learning to make decisions about you. See Automated decision-making.
What is collected and why
Name
Identifies you on schedules, overtime queues, crew rosters and attendance records.
Email address
Sign-in, password resets, invitations and shift/overtime email notifications.
Phone number
Optional SMS sign-in codes, SMS clock-in and urgent coverage contact by your supervisor.
Employer / company information
Keeps your records inside your employer's workspace and separate from every other company using ShiftPulse.
Employee ID (if your employer uses one)

Crew assignment

Restricts overtime and coverage offers to work you are trained and certified to perform.
Seniority information (seniority date and rank)
Orders the overtime selection rounds so offers go out in the correct seniority sequence.
Work schedules
Shows your calendar, drives shift reminders and calculates coverage for each day.
Overtime selections and history
Records accepts, passes, awards and equalization so the rotation stays fair and auditable.
Time-off and vacation requests
Processes approvals and identifies shifts that need overtime coverage.
Attendance and call-ins
Records absences, late arrivals and call-ins so supervisors can staff the shift.
Clock-in and clock-out timestamps
Produces timecards and hour totals used to support payroll.
Scan location at the moment you clock
Confirms the punch happened at the work site. Your precise location is read only at the instant you scan — never continuously and never in the background.
Supervisor adjustments
Documents corrections to punches, absences and overtime with who changed what, when and why.
Notification preferences
Controls which alerts you get, on which channel, and honours quiet hours and Do Not Disturb.
Push notification tokens
Delivers shift, overtime and coverage alerts to your specific device.
Device and browser information
Renders the app correctly, delivers push messages and diagnoses crashes.
IP address and security information
Protects accounts against unauthorized sign-in, abuse and clock-in spoofing.
Audit logs
Immutable record of overtime awards, attendance edits and administrative actions used to resolve disputes.
Usage information
Basic in-app activity and error reports used to keep the service reliable.
Emergency contact (if you or your employer add one)
Lets your supervisor reach someone on your behalf in a workplace emergency. Visible only to you, your supervisors and administrators.
Timecards, hour totals and pay-period records
Turns your punches into reviewable totals your employer can use for payroll.
Pay-related fields (only if your employer turns wage calculation on)
Employee number, employment type, pay group and — only when enabled — rates and salary. Hours Only is the default; rates stay hidden unless your employer explicitly grants an individual permission to see them.
Support and feedback messages
The category, your message, an optional reply address and an optional screenshot you choose to attach, so we can answer you and fix the problem.
Email and SMS delivery records
Records that a notification was sent, delivered, bounced or unsubscribed, so alerts about shifts and overtime are not silently lost.
Your choices
You can update your contact details and notification preferences in the app at any time, and you can request deletion of your ShiftPulse account from Delete Account — including after you no longer have a login. Questions: support@theshiftpulse.com.
