Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how VantaShift Inc. ("VantaShift," "we," "us") collects, uses, and protects information in connection with the VantaShift restaurant scheduling application and website at vantashift.app.
Information we collect
We collect information needed to provide restaurant staff scheduling:
- Account information — restaurant name, manager name, and email address used to create and manage an account.
- Employee information — employee names, roles, availability, pay rate (if entered), and mobile phone numbers entered by a restaurant manager to build schedules and, where the employee has consented, to send scheduling text messages.
- Sales and scheduling data — point-of-sale sales history (via connected POS integrations or CSV upload) and published schedules, used to forecast staffing demand.
- Usage information — basic technical and log data generated when using the app or website.
How we use information
We use the information above only to operate and improve the VantaShift scheduling service: to forecast demand, generate and publish schedules, and — for employees who have expressly opted in — to send automated scheduling text messages (weekly availability requests, published schedules, and shift-change notifications). We do not sell personal information.
SMS and mobile information
No mobile information (including phone numbers) will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Mobile phone numbers are collected solely to send an employee their own scheduling messages, and only where that employee has given express consent recorded through the VantaShift app.
Information sharing with subcontractors or service providers strictly to support the messaging service (for example, our SMS delivery provider) is permitted. All of the above categories exclude text-messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Text message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. See our SMS Consent & Opt-In Policy for full details.
How we share information
We share information only as needed to operate the service: with a restaurant's own authorized managers (who see their own staff and schedules), and with service providers that process data on our behalf (such as hosting, database, POS, and SMS delivery providers) under obligations of confidentiality. We may disclose information if required by law. We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for third-party marketing.
Data retention and security
We retain information for as long as an account is active or as needed to provide the service, and we apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect it. Employees who opt out via STOP are recorded as opted out at the database level and are not sent further messages.
Your choices
Employees may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. Account owners may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their account data by contacting us at the address below. Deleting an account removes its associated scheduling data.
