Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 19, 2026
1. Introduction
ShiftTrained ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by TechWithTerry LLC, provides an AI-powered menu training platform for restaurants. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services at shifttrained.com.
2. Data We Collect
- Account information — name, email address, phone number, organization details (name, address, logo, brand colors)
- Menu data — uploaded PDF files and AI-parsed content (item names, descriptions, prices, categories, ingredients)
- Quiz data — questions, configurations, quiz results, scores, completion times
- Employee data — names, email addresses, phone numbers, quiz performance history
- Payment information — processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers, CVVs, or full card details on our servers.
- Usage data — quiz completion times, feature usage, login activity, page visits
- Communications — support tickets, contact form submissions, in-app messages
- Consent records — date, time, IP address, and browser information when you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
- Two-factor authentication data — if enabled, encrypted TOTP secrets or recovery codes associated with your account (coming soon)
3. Team Member Data
When an account holder invites team members (managers, admins, viewers) to their organization, we collect those individuals' names, email addresses, and account credentials. The account holder represents that they have the authority and consent to provide this information. Invited team members can manage their own account data from their dashboard settings.
4. Employee Data Collection
Employee information (name, email, phone number) may be collected directly from the employee when they take their first quiz, or entered by the restaurant manager. In both cases, the restaurant is the data controller and ShiftTrained is the data processor. The restaurant is responsible for ensuring they have appropriate authorization to collect and process employee data through the platform.
5. How We Use Your Data
- To provide the ShiftTrained service — quiz generation, score tracking, leaderboards, analytics
- To process payments via Stripe
- To send transactional emails — quiz invitations, study guides, billing alerts, account notifications
- To send marketing emails — onboarding drip, product updates. You can opt out from Settings → Notification Preferences.
- To improve our service through aggregate analytics and AI model improvement
- To respond to customer support requests
- To improve our AI systems — we may use anonymized, aggregated menu data with all restaurant-identifying information removed to improve our question generation algorithms. Individual restaurant data is never shared, sold, or used in identifiable form for AI training.
We never sell your data to third parties.
6. Consent Tracking
We record the date, time, IP address, and browser information when you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy during account creation or team member onboarding. This record is maintained as proof of consent and cannot be modified.
7. Data Visibility Within Organizations
Within an organization, authorized team members (owners, admins, managers) can view employee names, quiz scores, completion history, and training analytics. Viewer-role team members have read-only access. This data sharing is necessary to provide the training management functionality of the Service.
8. Two-Factor Authentication
ShiftTrained supports two-factor authentication (2FA) as an additional security measure for your account. When enabled, encrypted authentication secrets are stored securely. Recovery codes are generated at setup and should be stored safely by the user. ShiftTrained cannot recover accounts where 2FA recovery codes have been lost.
9. Data Retention
- Active accounts — data retained as long as your account is active
- Study guides — automatically deleted after 30 days
- Deleted accounts — all data permanently deleted within 24 hours of confirmation
- Data exports — available for download for 30 days, then automatically deleted
- Consent records — retained as proof-of-consent audit trail; not deletable on request except via account deletion
- Stripe — retains payment records per their own privacy policy
10. Your Rights

11. Data Portability
You have the right to export your data in a portable format (CSV) at any time from Settings → Your Data. Exported data includes employees, quizzes, quiz attempts, questions, menus, badges, study guides, support tickets, notifications, and referrals.
