Privacy Policy - Frontline

The short version

Frontline keeps your schedule on your phone. You don’t need an account to use it, and the schedule, events, shift trades, and exposure logs you create are stored on your device, not on our servers. The app makes three routine network connections: one to the app store and one to the purchase-management provider we use to validate receipts, both only to unlock and restore Pro, and one to Meta’s advertising measurement kit, which tells us when an install or a Pro purchase came from one of our ads. None of them involves your schedule. Anything you choose to share, like a trade card or an exported file, goes only where you send it.

This summary is here to be helpful; the full sections below are the complete policy.

Who we are

Frontline - Shift Calendar (“Frontline,” “the app”) is published by Code 3 Tek LLC (“we,” “us,” “our”). This policy explains how the app handles information. It applies to the Frontline mobile app on iOS and Android (app identifier com.code3tek.frontline) and to this website.

Information in the app

Frontline is built to run on your device. The information you put into the app, including your shift rotation, calendar events, day notes, shift trades (AWR), and any exposure or incident entries, is stored locally on your phone. We do not receive a copy of this information, and we cannot see your schedule.

Because there is no sign-up, we do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or department to use the app.

What we do and don’t collect

As the app works today, there is no account and no central server holding your information. We do not collect:

Your schedule, events, trades, or exposure logs.
An account, profile, name, or email address.
Your contacts or location.

The app does not send your schedule or anything else you create to us. The only usage it reports is the advertising measurement described below: the install, the app being opened, how long it was open, and a Pro purchase. Apple and Google may collect their own limited, app-level information, such as crash reports or aggregate download numbers, under their own policies and only as you have allowed in your device settings.

Purchases

Pro is unlocked through an in-app purchase. Payment is handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play; we never see or store your card or billing details. To unlock, confirm, and restore a purchase, the app communicates with the store’s purchase service (and the purchase-management provider we use to validate receipts). That exchange involves a purchase receipt and an anonymous, app-generated identifier; it is not linked to your identity and does not include your schedule.

Third-party services

The app relies on a small number of outside services:

Apple App Store / Google Play for distribution and in-app purchases, under Apple’s and Google’s privacy policies.
Our purchase-management provider, used only to validate and restore purchases as described above.
Apps you share to, such as your messaging or calendar app, when you choose to send a card or export.

This website. When you visit frontlinecalendar.com we use the Meta pixel, a small piece of Facebook code, to see how many people arrive from our ads and how many tap through to the App Store or Google Play. It records the page you viewed and whether you tapped a download button, and it may set a cookie. It tells us nothing about you personally. Meta may match a tap here to an app install measured by the kit described below, which is how we tell which ads are working. Meta’s own handling of that data is covered by their privacy policy.

Advertising measurement in the app. Frontline does not show ads. It does include Meta’s measurement kit, which tells us that an install or a Pro purchase came from one of our ads, so we know which ads are worth paying for. It reports the install, the app being opened, how long it was open, and a Pro purchase. On Android it also reports your device’s advertising identifier, the one Google provides and that you can reset or turn off in your Android settings. On iPhone we do not ask for tracking permission and we do not collect Apple’s advertising identifier at all. Apple reports installs from our ads to us only in aggregate. Your schedule, shifts, trades, events, notes and logs are never part of this and never leave your device.

Accounts and connected features

Frontline does not currently offer or require an account. Everything in the app today, free and Pro, works without one.

Some future Pro features will need more than on-device storage. For example, backing up your schedule to the cloud or syncing it across devices would require you to create an account and sign in, and to send some of your data to that service. Features like these will be optional: you can keep using Frontline, including the Pro features available today, without ever creating an account.

Before any feature like that launches, we will update this policy to spell out exactly what is involved, such as the email address you sign up with and the schedule data you choose to sync, where that information is stored, how long it is kept, and how it is protected. The app will tell you before it sends anything, and you will choose whether to turn the feature on.

Data retention and deletion

Your in-app information lives on your device for as long as the app is installed. You are in control: delete individual entries inside the app, or remove the app to delete its data from your phone. Because we do not keep a copy on our servers, there is no separate server-side record for us to delete. Purchase records held by Apple, Google, and our purchase provider follow their own retention policies.

Children’s privacy

Frontline is a workforce tool for first responders and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region).

Security

Because your schedule stays on your device, it is protected by your device’s own security, such as your passcode and device encryption. No method of storage is perfectly secure, but keeping your data on your phone, rather than on a central server, removes an entire category of risk.

Your rights

Privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA give you rights over your personal information. Because we do not hold your schedule or a profile about you, you exercise most of those rights directly on your device by viewing, editing, or deleting your data, or removing the app. We do not sell or share personal information. For questions about purchase records or to make a privacy request, contact us using the details below.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves, for example when a new connected feature ships. We will revise the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide a clearer notice in the app or on this page.
