5. SAVED PASSWORD SECURITY

Certain features of the Software have been developed with encryption technology to protect the information and data that you provide through the Software. When enabled by you, these features provide additional security by creating a separate vault which is designed to isolate your information and data from certain attacks including data leakage, unauthorized access, malware or malicious attacks. Shift creates an encrypted file that contains the information and data provided by you which is then stored on your computer in the vault created by the Software. If you enable Password Syncing, the encrypted file is transmitted to Shift’s vault service and synchronized with your other devices. Shift’s vault service and synchronization process encrypts the transmitted file a second time providing an additional layer of protection. Although the Software uses advanced encryption technologies, Shift does not guarantee or warrant that the Software or vault service will prevent any unauthorized access to the information and data that you provide through the Software or during any synchronization process. To aid in password recovery and to enable password syncing on additional devices, Shift produces an emergency kit containing the vault password. It is strongly recommended that you print a copy of this emergency kit (or save it to a USB key or external hard drive) and store it in a safe place. IF YOUR VAULT PASSWORD IS LOST, THE VAULT DATA CANNOT BE RECOVERED. SHIFT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO SAVE THE EMERGENCY KIT NOR SHALL SHIFT BE LIABLE TO YOU IN ANY WAY FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR EMERGENCY KIT.


6. CONSENT TO USE OF DATA

You agree that Shift may collect and use information transmitted by you through the Software, the Related Materials, and/or gathered in any manner as part of the services provided to you, if any. Shift will not collect any personally identifiable information from your computer location or workstation during this process. Shift may also use any information collected to improve and enhance the Software, the Related Materials, and to provide notices to you which may be of use or interest to you. The Software contains components that enable and facilitate the use of certain technologies and Internet-based services. You acknowledge and agree that Shift may automatically check the version of the Software that has been installed on your computer system that you are utilizing and may provide updates, upgrades, or fixes to the Software.
