Introduction
AnyShift has developed and maintains an online software and mobile platform where companies ("Partners") and workers ("Shifters") can connect to fill one-time and/or recurring job opportunities. When you use our platform, including our websites, mobile applications, content, and services (collectively our "Services"), you share your data with us. Because your privacy is important to us, this policy (our "Privacy Policy") describes how we collect, use, and share your personal data.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, as by accessing or using our Services in any capacity, you agree to our Terms and expressly consent to our collection, receipt, use, retention, and disclosure or transfer of your Information to third parties as described. Since you cannot access or use our Services without accepting our Terms, you may contact us at any@anyshift.com if you have any questions.
What We Collect
In this Privacy Policy, "we", "us", "our" and "AnyShift" refer to AnyShift BV. AnyShift and our affiliates, and "you" and "your" refer to you, as a user of our Services as a Partner, Shifter, Reference, or otherwise. Likewise, we refer to the collective information you provide to us as your "Information", which consists of your Personal Information, Non-Personal Information, and Usage Data.
“Personal Information” (sometimes called "Personally Identifiable Information") refers to information that personally identifies you—whether alone or in combination with Usage Data and Non-Personal Information—including but not limited to your name, email address, social security number, postal and/or physical address, mobile phone number, phone number, government identification number(s), date of birth, your photo, and other information or data that identifies you.
Personal Information may also include information you provide to us in connection with a payment service ("Payment Service") offered to you as a convenience in connection with the Services, where you may securely store your credit card or bank account information (each a "Payment Account") in connection with your Registered Account, as defined below. If you have an open business debit card account available through AnyShift (an "AnyShift Debit Account") for business expenses, we may collect information related to your AnyShift Debit Account, including your transactions and other activities related to the use of that account. Such information may also include, depending on whether it can reasonably be linked to your other Personal Information or used to identify you, your IP address, MAC address, device-specific information (including hardware information about each device you use to access or use the Services, such as your UDID or hardware model information), device type, unique device IDs, advertising IDs, 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 activities 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 legal or other definition of "Personally Identifiable Information" or "Personal Information" for breach notification purposes ("Legal PII").
“Non-Personal Information” means information that does not personally or specifically identify you, and may include aggregated 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 analytics and non-personally identifiable information about users of our Services.
Information You Provide Directly
Partners and Shifters use our Services to match available job opportunities with available workers who possess a relevant skill, and the information we collect is intended to support this purpose. To establish these worker connections, both parties must register 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. Likewise, if you are a Shifter, we may collect your name, email address, home address, and other Personal Information you provide as part of the registration, profile creation, or shift-matching process (including your CV, name and contact information for your References, and related data necessary for using the Services). Specifically, we collect information about you (including Personal Information) that you choose to provide to us in connection with your use of our Services, including information provided 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 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.

Except as otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties unless the third party is an Authorized Recipient.

We may also disclose Non-Personal Information to third parties in a manner that does not identify a specific person. For example, and without 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 organizations posting job offers in our Services in our advertisements, marketing, and promotional materials.

We may, from time to time, transfer or assign all or part of the Usage Data, Personal Information, and/or Non-Personal Information and the associated rights and obligations under this Privacy Policy to one or more third parties (whether as part of an asset sale, merger, or otherwise), the successor or assignee agreeing to the obligations of this Privacy Policy regarding such transferred information (unless otherwise agreed between you and the successor or assignee).
All information you share with us may be shared or transferred to an affiliated entity or any of our third-party providers (including those located outside the European Union), regardless of their location, for the purpose of providing you with the Services and improving the Services. By using the Services, you agree to this transfer and acknowledge that the Services provided to you and the functionality of the Services could not be provided without such transfer. If you do not want your information to be transferred in this way, do not use the Services.
In addition to the other uses and disclosures of information set forth in this Privacy Policy, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, we may use, disclose, assign, and transfer any Non-Personal Information for any purpose.
Security
We and our service providers take certain procedural and technological security measures that are reasonably designed to 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 completely secure or effective. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you send to us or that is submitted on your behalf, and such information is sent and submitted at your own risk.
You agree to keep your Personal Information private and confidential, and not to share any information and materials you receive via our Services with third parties, except through the general, non-commercial methods made available by the Services. Under no circumstances shall Shifters or Partners share any information or materials related to their Account access and shift postings with third parties.
