2Work

Privacy Policy

Your work. Your data.

2Work helps you track your shifts, hours, and pay. This page explains, in plain words, what 2Work stores, why, who else is involved, and how you stay in control.

  • Last Updated: November 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the 2Work app for iPhone and Android collects, uses, stores, and protects your information.

2Work keeps what it needs to work out your hours and pay, and to keep them on every device you sign in on.

Your account

  • Email address and password sign-in
  • Your name
  • The agreement you accepted when you created your account, and when
  • Your age (2Work is for people aged 16 and over)
  • An account ID

Your work records

  • Workplaces, pay rates, pay rules, and paydays
  • Shifts, hours, breaks, and the notes you add
  • The days and hours you are available

If you use Finance (coming soon)

  • Accounts, balances, bills, and savings goals
  • Expenses you record, with the shop's name

Settings

  • Your language and set-up progress
  • Which parts of the app you have opened
  • Whether you have 2Work Pro

To run 2Work for you, and, in anonymous form only, for the statistics and research described below.

  • Work out your hours, overtime, and estimated pay
  • Suggest shifts and write your availability message for your manager
  • Keep your records in sync across your devices
  • Send the reminders you turn on (your phone sends them itself)
  • Show ads in the free version
  • Provide 2Work Pro and restore purchases
  • Keep your account secure

2Work does not track you, and today its own code has no analytics. We do not sell your personal data, and we never give your shifts, pay, or money records to advertisers.

Some things 2Work uses never leave your device.

  • Your calendar: if you turn on "Work around my calendar", 2Work reads only when you are busy, on your phone, to plan around it. Your events are never uploaded.
  • Shifts you choose to add to a calendar are written to the calendar you pick.
  • Card numbers and Apple Wallet card names
  • Widgets and the Lock Screen shift timer
  • The app lock (Face ID, fingerprint, or passcode)

2Work uses the same sign-in as 2Study, made by the same developer, so you can use one account for both apps. Your name and age live on that shared account.

Your 2Work records are kept separately: 2Study does not read your shifts, hours, or pay. See the 2Study privacy policy for what 2Study keeps.

Your records are stored with Firebase, a service provided by Google, and on your device. Only your signed-in account can read your records, apart from the anonymous statistics and research described below.

  • Sent over encrypted connections
  • Protected on your phone by its own data protection
  • An optional app lock hides 2Work behind Face ID, your fingerprint, or your passcode
  • Firebase App Check confirms requests come from the real 2Work app, without using your personal data

We keep your records until you delete them or your account.

The free version of 2Work shows a full-screen ad from Google AdMob when you start a shift and when you end one, never when you open the app, and at most one a minute. Your shift is saved before the ad appears. With 2Work Pro you see no ads, and none are requested.

Google AdMob may collect:

  • Device and app information
  • Approximate location from your IP address
  • Ad views and taps, and diagnostic data
  • On Android, your advertising ID, if your settings allow it

On iPhone, 2Work does not ask to track you, so ads cannot use your iPhone's advertising identifier.

Where the law requires it, such as in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, 2Work asks for your consent with Google's consent form before any ad is requested.

Some U.S. state laws treat personalized advertising as "selling" or "sharing" personal data. Where they apply, you can opt out in 2Work.

  • Android: Settings > Privacy > Ads

2Work Pro is sold through the Apple App Store and Google Play. When you are signed in, 2Work checks whether you have Pro with RevenueCat, which also confirms and restores purchases, linked to your account.

  • Your account ID and basic app and device information, such as the app version
  • If you buy: which plan, purchase and renewal dates
  • If you buy: the store's transaction IDs

Because the account is shared, the plan for both apps (2Work + 2Study, which 2Study calls Super Pro) gives you 2Work Pro and 2Study Pro, whichever app you buy it in.

We also keep a record of your plans in our cloud database (Cloud Firestore, in the Firebase project 2Work and 2Study share), linked to your account ID, so we can see which plans your account has and help you with purchase and support questions. It holds which plans are active, the product identifiers, the store, the purchase, renewal and expiry dates and status, and RevenueCat's identifiers for them. It does not hold prices or payment details. Only our server can write it, it is updated automatically when a purchase changes, and it is deleted when your account's sign-in is deleted.

Card and payment details stay with Apple or Google. Neither we nor RevenueCat receive them.

When you create an account, you agree that we may use anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data for statistics, research, and product improvement. This may include:

  • Hours and shift patterns
  • Pay rates and estimated pay
  • Types of pay rules
  • How the app is used

This data will not include your name, email address, the notes you write, or anything else that directly identifies you, and we will not publish results that identify you. To ask us to stop using your data in this way, contact us. Data that has already been anonymized or included in a completed analysis may not be possible to remove, because it no longer identifies you.

You can do all of this yourself in 2Work, under More > Data and privacy > Export, app lock, delete:

  • Export your records as a JSON or CSV file
  • Delete all of 2Work's data and keep your account
  • Delete your account. This also deletes your shared sign-in, so you can no longer sign in to 2Study.

Subject to applicable law, you may also ask us to access, correct, or delete your information.

Deleting your account does not cancel a subscription: cancel it first in your App Store or Google Play settings. Apple, Google, and RevenueCat keep purchase records for accounting, tax, and fraud prevention. Contact us to have the RevenueCat record linked to your account deleted.

If we change how 2Work uses your information, we will update this page and the date at the top.
