We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) governs how we treat the Personal Information that we collect and receive from you in connection with your use of the Service and is incorporated into the Terms of Service.

By using the Service, you agree to the terms of this Policy. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or change this Privacy Policy at any time with or without prior notice to you. The date of the last update will be posted at the top of this Policy for your convenience. Your continued use of the Service following the posting of any changes to the Policy constitutes your full acceptance of those changes.

"Personal Information" is information that individually identifies you, such as your mobile phone number or user/screen name, as well as the messages you send through the Service.

What We Collect from You

We receive your mobile phone number when you send a text message to us. We receive the text of messages that you send to other users of the Service. We also receive any user or screen name that you select in connection with the Service, as well as any comments or feedback regarding the Service that you send to us. We use this information to (a) provide you with the Service, (b) process and respond to inquiries, (c) improve the Service, (d) if necessary, contact you with important announcements or messages, (e) conduct research, and (f) provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients and partners.

Each message that you send through the Service (either to us or to other users of the Service) is stored on our servers. We retain these messages on our servers. Shift Admin utilizes servers owned by third parties.

When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
  
• We provide such information to third parties who have entered into non-disclosure agreements with us.
