This explains what ShiftU collects, who can see it, and how long we keep it. The short version: we collect what hiring needs, employers see only what you send them, and we never sell your data.

What we collect

• Account: your name, email and password (stored securely by our login provider; we never see it).
• Students: NetID, class year, major, resume, availability, applications and answers to employer questions, and for students who are hired, job details and timesheets.
• Employers: your name, title, contact details, and your organization's details and roles.
• From your school (once connected): only whether you're enrolled (and your course load), your Work-Study award and how much is left, and whether you're on a student visa that limits work. Never grades, transcripts or other records.

Who can see what

• An employer sees your application (including your resume and eligibility check) only for roles at their organization that you applied to.
• Your supervisor sees the timesheets for the job you have with them. Your school's payroll office receives approved hours so you get paid.
• The ShiftU team (admins) can see records to run and support the service.
• These rules are enforced by the database itself, not only by the website.

Student education records (FERPA)

Information from your school is shared with ShiftU under an agreement with the school, used only to support student employment, and protected as required by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Services we use

Supabase (database, logins and file storage), Vercel (website hosting) and Resend (email). They process data on our behalf only.

How long we keep it

• Applications that didn't lead to a hire are deleted after a set period (currently 24 months).
• Records of jobs worked (hours and pay) are kept as long as payroll, tax and federal Work-Study rules require.
• Deleting your account removes your profile, resumes and applications right away.

Your choices

• Download a copy of your data or delete your account at any time.
