Privacy Policy
The short version
- Netshift has no account and no sign-up. We do not run servers that receive your shifts, offers, pay, or tax information.
- Everything you enter is stored only on your phone. Uninstalling the app or using “Erase all data” deletes it.
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which may use your device’s advertising ID. You can turn off personalized ads in the app, or remove ads with Netshift Pro.
- Purchases are handled by Google Play. We never see your card details.
- We do not sell your personal information.
1. Who we are
Netshift is a pay-planning app for travel nurses, published by NaxTech (“NaxTech,” “we,” “us”). Our website is naxtech.co. This policy explains what happens to information when you use Netshift on Android.
Legal entity: [NaxTech legal name and registered address]
2. Information that stays on your device
To work, Netshift saves the following in the app’s private storage on your phone. We do not receive a copy.
- Profile settings: optional first name, tax home state, filing status, specialty, usual shift type, and what you pay for housing at home.
- Contracts and offers: city, state, agency and facility names you type, pay rates, stipends, hours, rent, dates.
- Shifts: dates, hours, shift type, charge and holiday flags.
- Tools: your tax-home checklist answers, saved jobs, pay stub amounts you enter, notification and display preferences, and a monthly count of free comparisons used.
- Job posts you paste or share into the app: read on your phone to find pay details. The text is not uploaded.
- Offer-letter scans (Pro): if you use this feature, text recognition runs on your device. The image is not uploaded by Netshift.
- Cached reference data: GSA per diem rates, tax tables, job listings and partner offers downloaded so the app works offline.
Backups. When you choose “Back up to a file,” the app creates a file of the data above. You decide where it goes (for example your phone’s storage or a cloud drive you select). That service’s own privacy policy then applies to the file.
3. Information processed by third parties
A few features rely on services run by other companies. They receive information directly from your device under their own policies.
| Service | Purpose | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Show ads, measure ad performance, limit fraud | Advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions. Used for personalized ads only if you allow it. |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Ask for and store your ad consent choices | Your consent choice, device information |
| Google Play Billing | Process Netshift Pro purchases and restores | Purchase and subscription status. Payment details stay with Google. |
| Google Play services | App delivery, updates, crash and performance reports that Android and Google Play may collect | As described in Google’s policies |
Google’s practices are described at policies.google.com/privacy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
4. When the app uses the internet
Netshift works offline. It connects to the internet only to:
- Download reference data (GSA rates, tax tables, job listings and partner offers) from a static file we publish on a public hosting service, or directly from the U.S. General Services Administration’s public per diem API. These requests do not include your shifts, pay, or profile. Like any website, the host can see your IP address and basic request details in its logs.
- Load ads in the free version (see section 3).
- Open links you tap, such as an agency’s application page or a partner offer, in your browser.
You can limit data downloads to Wi-Fi in Me › Rates & rules.
5. Device permissions
- Internet: for the downloads, ads and links described above.
- Notifications (Android 13+): only if you turn on shift, payday or deadline reminders. Reminders are scheduled on your phone.
- Camera or photos: only if you choose to scan an offer letter or pick a screenshot. Netshift does not access them otherwise.
- Clipboard: only when you tap Paste or Copy.
Netshift does not request your location, contacts, microphone, or call logs.
6. How information is used
- To calculate take-home pay, overtime, stipends and taxes on your device.
- To show the reference data and job listings you browse.
- To show ads and process purchases through the providers above.
We do not build profiles of you, and we do not use your pay or shift data for advertising.
8. Your choices and controls
- Personalized ads: turn off in the app (Me › Personalized ads) or reset/delete your advertising ID in Android Settings › Privacy › Ads.
- Remove ads: subscribe to Netshift Pro.
- Notifications: turn each reminder on or off in Me › Notifications, or in Android settings.
- Your data: export it with Back up to a file, or delete it (see section 10).
9. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and other U.S. states, or the EU/UK), you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, or port personal information, to opt out of its sale or sharing for targeted advertising, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights.
Most of these rights you can use yourself, because your data lives on your device: view and edit it in the app, export it with a backup, or delete it. For information held by Google in connection with ads or purchases, use Google’s controls at myaccount.google.com. For anything else, contact us (section 16). We will respond within the time the law requires and may need to verify your request.
10. Retention and deletion
Data on your device stays until you delete it. You can delete it at any time by:
- using Me › Erase all data in the app, or
- clearing the app’s storage in Android Settings, or
- uninstalling Netshift.
Backup files you created are kept wherever you saved them until you delete them. Third-party services keep data according to their own policies.
11. Security
Your data is kept in the app’s private storage, which Android protects from other apps. Downloads use encrypted HTTPS connections. Protect your phone with a screen lock, and store backup files somewhere secure, since they contain your pay details.
12. Children
Netshift is meant for working nurses and is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets a higher age). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used the app and want help removing data, contact us.
13. Links to other sites
The app links to agency, partner and government websites. Their privacy practices are their own. Please read their policies before you share information with them.
14. Estimates are not advice
Pay, tax and per diem figures in Netshift are estimates for planning. They are not tax, legal or financial advice. Confirm important decisions with a qualified professional.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app or the law changes. We will change the “Last updated” date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app before they take effect.
