Privacy policy for MESOFARI SHIFT

This policy covers the MESOFARI SHIFT Android app, separately from the MESOFARI website, Life OS and Scan by MESOFARI.

1. Controller

2. Offline app

MESOFARI SHIFT is a free shift and job assignment planner. It stores and processes work schedules locally on your Android device. No MESOFARI account or dedicated MESOFARI cloud is required.

3. Data stored on your device

Depending on your usage, the app stores shift types, work times, assignment locations, employer/project labels, breaks, notes, leave and sickness entries, target and actual hours, hourly pay and bonus rules, recurring patterns, language, holiday region, and reminder preferences. These support calendar views, calculations, reminders and exports. The developer does not automatically receive this data and has no remote access to it.

4. No analytics or ad networks

The intended release does not integrate advertising networks, tracking pixels or analytics SDKs. Optional links promote other MESOFARI apps and open external services only when you tap them.

5. Notifications and widgets

If enabled, reminders are scheduled locally through Android and may require notification permission. They may be rescheduled after a restart. Home-screen widgets display local shift information that others may see on your device.

6. Export and backups

You can choose to export and restore files, including JSON backups, ICS calendars and CSV tables. You select a destination using Android's file picker. Exported files may not have the same protections as internal app data. Third-party services used to share files follow their own privacy policies.

7. Android and device services

Android or the device maker may offer separate backup or diagnostic services depending on your settings. The intended Android configuration disables automatic backup of app data. Independent device backup and diagnostic services may be subject to separate settings and terms.

8. External links

Buttons open mesofari.de and Google Play only on your request. Those services may process network, device or account information under their own rules. Read the website privacy notice for website hosting and contact details.

9. Email support

When you email support@mesofari.de, we use the data you provide to respond to your request, under GDPR Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) as appropriate. Depending on the email service used, messages may be processed by the relevant email provider. See the website privacy notice for contact information processing.

10. Retention and deletion

Local records remain on your device until you delete them, clear app data or uninstall the app. Separately exported files are not deleted automatically. The developer cannot remotely retrieve or erase data held only on your device. Protect your device and backup files.

11. Legal bases and your rights

Where the controller processes data, relevant legal bases include GDPR Art. 6(1)(b), (f), and where required (c). Subject to legal conditions, you have rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection. Contact support@mesofari.de. You may complain to a supervisory authority, including the Thuringian Data Protection Commissioner.

12. Automated decisions

The app performs no automated decision-making under GDPR Art. 22 and creates no advertising profiles. Pay estimates are informational, not official payroll statements.

13. Updates

We will update this notice when the app, permissions, services or laws change. This text must be checked against the actual release build before publication.
