Who We Are
The Six Shifts (“we,” “us”) runs thesixshifts.com, our online classes, our newsletter and our classroom tools. This policy covers all of them, including the emails we send. If you have a question about your data, write to CustomerService@thesixshifts.com. That inbox is the person responsible for privacy at The Six Shifts.
What We Collect
We collect only what we need to run the site, deliver what you have asked for, and get better at both.
When you download a free resource or join our list
- Your email address
- Your role (for example, K–2 teacher or school leader), so we can send you what fits
- Which resource you asked for
When you buy a class or product
- Your name, email address and billing address
- Your payment details, which go straight to our payment processor. We never see or store your full card number.
- Your course access, progress and completion
When you contact us
- Whatever you choose to tell us, so we can reply
Automatically, when you visit
- Standard server and security logs, including IP address and browser type
- Which pages and resources are viewed, searched and clicked, recorded with a random visitor ID (see cookies)
- Information our analytics and advertising partners collect through cookies and similar tools (see below)
Why We Collect It
- To send you what you asked for. A download, a class login, a receipt.
- To run your account. Course access, progress, certificates, support.
- To email you. When you download a free resource or sign up, we add you to our email list and send occasional teaching ideas, resources and news about our classes and tools. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and it works straight away.
- To improve the site. Knowing which resources are useful tells us what to make next.
- To reach educators who may find our work useful. We measure whether our ads work and show our ads to people likely to be interested (see below).
- To keep the site secure and to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We do not share your email address with other companies for their own marketing.
Cookies, Analytics and Advertising
We use cookies and similar technologies for three things:
- Essential. Keeping you signed in, remembering that you have unlocked a download, securing checkout, and protecting the site from abuse.
- Analytics. Our own site statistics (a random visitor ID; we do not store IP addresses in them, and we delete them after about 13 months) and Google Analytics, which tell us which pages are useful.
- Advertising. The Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Pixel and Google tags tell us whether our ads lead to sign-ups or purchases, and let us show our ads to people who have visited our site. These partners receive information such as the pages you visit, your IP address and browser, and, when you sign up or buy, a protected (hashed) version of your email address. Under some U.S. state laws this may count as “sharing” personal information for targeted advertising.
Our pages may also include videos from YouTube or Vimeo, which set their own cookies when you play them.
Your Privacy Choices
- Opt out of targeted advertising. Turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser and we will treat it as a request to opt out: our site stops sending advertising data from that browser. You can also email us and we will opt you out.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Essential features such as class login and unlocked downloads may stop working.
- Ad settings. You can also manage ads through Meta’s ad preferences and Google’s My Ad Center.
- Email. Unsubscribe from any email at any time with the link at the bottom.
Who Else Touches It
We use a small number of service providers to run the business. Each sees only what it needs:
- Payments: Stripe processes card payments.
- Email: Kit stores your email address, role and the resources you requested, and sends our emails.
- Website and classes: our site runs on WordPress with MemberPress, hosted by GoDaddy and protected by Cloudflare.
- Analytics and advertising: Google and Meta, as described above.
- Our team and contractors who help run the site, under confidentiality.
We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a sale or reorganization of our business.
Your Rights
Wherever you live, we will honor these requests:
- See it. Ask what we hold about you, and get a copy.
- Correct it. Tell us what is wrong and we will fix it.
- Delete it. Ask us to remove your data and we will, except where we must keep records (for example, of a purchase).
- Opt out of targeted advertising and of any sale or sharing of your information.
- Withdraw consent to emails at any time.
Email CustomerService@thesixshifts.com. We may need to confirm it is you before acting, and we reply within 45 days. You can ask someone to make a request for you. If we decline a request, you can appeal by replying to our answer, and we will explain the outcome. If you are still not satisfied, you can contact your state attorney general or, outside the U.S., your data protection authority. We will never treat you differently for using these rights.
How Long We Keep It
- Email list: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete you. We keep a minimal record of an unsubscribe so we don’t email you again.
- Purchases and invoices: as long as tax and accounting law requires, usually seven years.
- Class accounts and progress: while your access lasts, and for a reasonable time after so you can come back. Ask us any time to delete it sooner.
- Site statistics: about 13 months.
- Security logs: as long as our hosting and security providers keep them, usually a few weeks.
How We Protect It
The site runs over an encrypted connection, payments are handled by Stripe, and access to our systems is limited to the people who need it. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach ever affected your information, we would tell you as the law requires.
Where Your Data Goes
We are based in the United States, and our service providers store data in the U.S. and other countries. If you use the site from outside the U.S. (for example, from Canada), your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S.
Children and Student Data
This site is for educators, not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 (or under 16 in places where that is the rule). If you believe a child has given us information, tell us and we will delete it.
Nothing on this site asks you to send us student data. Please don’t include student names or other student information when you contact us.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, tell subscribers by email before it takes effect.
