Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Night Shift Planner (nightshiftplanner.com) is operated by Marina Tutino, a sole proprietorship based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. If you have any questions about this policy or how your information is handled, you can reach us at hello@nightshiftplanner.com.

2. What This Policy Covers

This policy explains what information Night Shift Planner collects when you use our site and sleep calculator, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It applies to nightshiftplanner.com and any tools, calculators, or content hosted on this domain.

3. Information You Provide Directly

The Night Shift Planner sleep calculator runs entirely in your browser. The shift times, sleep preferences, and rotation details you enter are used only to generate your results on screen and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.

If you choose to sign up for our email list, download a resource, or contact us directly, we collect the information you provide for that purpose — such as your name and email address.

4. Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, we use analytics tools to understand how visitors use our site — things like which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, what device or browser is used, and general location (such as city or country, derived from IP address). This helps us improve the site and understand what's actually useful to night shift workers. We do not use this information to personally identify you.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies for analytics and to support affiliate links (see our Affiliate Disclosure for details on how affiliate tracking works). You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality.

6. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the site and calculator
• Understand how visitors use the site, so we can build features people actually need
• Communicate with you, if you've opted in (e.g., email list)
• Track affiliate referrals, where applicable

We do not sell your personal information.

7. Sharing of Information

We may share information with service providers who help us run the site — for example, web hosting providers, analytics providers, and affiliate networks (such as Amazon Associates). These providers only receive the information needed to perform their function and are not permitted to use it for their own marketing purposes. We may also disclose information if required by law.

8. Health-Related Information

Night Shift Planner asks about your shift schedule and sleep preferences to generate personalized sleep timing suggestions. This information is processed in your browser to produce your results and is not stored by us as part of your use of the calculator in its current form. Night Shift Planner is an educational tool, not a medical service, and the information you enter is not treated as personal health information under Canadian health privacy law.

9. International Visitors

Night Shift Planner is operated from Ontario, Canada, and your information may be processed in Canada. If you are visiting from outside Canada, including the European Union or United Kingdom, please be aware that privacy laws in Canada may differ from those in your home country. We aim to handle all visitor information responsibly regardless of where you're located.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, request corrections, and withdraw consent for optional uses (such as email communications) at any time. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@nightshiftplanner.com. If you're not satisfied with how we've handled your concern, you may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

11. Children's Privacy

Night Shift Planner is intended for adult shift workers and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site grows — for example, if we introduce user accounts or paid features. We'll update the effective date above when changes are made. We encourage you to check back periodically.
