Privacy Policy

1. Local Data Processing (Your Privacy First)

At ShiftPayCal, we prioritize your privacy. The core functionality of our shift pay and overtime calculators runs entirely within your web browser (client-side). We do not collect, store, or transmit your financial data, hourly rates, or shift schedules to any external servers. When you close the tab, your calculation data is gone.

2. Information We Automatically Collect

While we don't collect your calculation inputs, like most standard websites, we may collect non-personally identifiable information automatically when you visit our site to help us improve user experience. This includes:

• Browser type and operating system
• Date and time of your visit
• Pages viewed and time spent on the site
• Referring website addresses

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

ShiftPayCal uses "cookies" to enhance your experience. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device. We use them strictly for:

• Analytics: To understand site traffic and usage patterns (e.g., via Google Analytics).
• Preferences: In the future, we may use local storage to remember your state tax or differential preferences so you don't have to re-enter them every time.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. However, doing so may affect how some features of the site function.

4. Third-Party Advertising

We may allow third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.

5. External Links

Our website may contain links to other websites. Please note that we have no control over the content and practices of these sites, and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
