Privacy Policy

Last updated September 27, 2026. The Shift Hole uses this website to share shift-work stories, content, merchandise, and recommendations. This page explains what information you may provide and how it is used.

Information you submit

When you use Share Your Story, we receive your submission type and story or feedback. Name and email are optional. Please leave out private company, patient, customer, and identifying details about other people. If you include identifying details in the story text, leaving the name field blank will not necessarily make the story anonymous.

How submissions are used

We review submissions to respond when requested and to consider stories or ideas for The Shift Hole content. Submission does not guarantee publication. We may edit a story for clarity, length, privacy, or safety before sharing it. We do not intend to publish the optional email address. If you want a story kept anonymous, say so in your submission and omit identifying details.

Website services and outside links

This site is hosted on WordPress.com, which processes site visits and form responses to provide the website and related services. Its own privacy practices also apply. Links to Etsy and other outside sites take you to those providers, which have their own privacy policies. If we add affiliate links, we may receive a commission from qualifying purchases; the merchant handles the purchase and its own checkout data.

Questions and requests

To ask about a submission or request access to or deletion of information you submitted, email theshifthole@gmail.com. Include enough information for us to locate the submission. We may need to confirm that the request concerns your information.

We will update this page when the site adds new forms, analytics, or other data practices.
