In today's digital age, concerns about malware and online security are more prevalent than ever. With new software and applications constantly being introduced, it's natural to question their safety and integrity. Firstly, it's important to understand malware. Malware, short for malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a computer system's data and operations. This can include viruses, spyware, adware, and other malicious programs that can steal information, damage files, or disrupt system performance.

Understanding Shift's Legitimacy

Shift Browser is a legitimate and reliable power browser designed to enhance your productivity and streamline your digital activities. Developed by a team of experienced professionals, Shift adheres to industry standards and best practices, ensuring that every aspect of the browser is crafted with care and precision.

Transparency is at the core of Shift Browser's operations. From the installation process to daily use, we ensure that users are fully informed about what the browser does and how it works. There are no hidden features or undisclosed data practices.

Privacy and Security Features

To ensure the safety and privacy of our users, Shift implements the following features:

• Local Processing: None of the content within the emails and apps you add to Shift is ever shared with Shift's servers, employees, or data partners. Your data remains local to your computer.
• API Access:When you grant Shift access to your accounts, you allow the Shift desktop application on your computer to access certain permissions via OAuth. This is necessary for Shift to provide specific features like Epic Search, Mute Notifications, and Unified Calendar. If you do not wish to use these features, you can deny all permissions and still use your emails within Shift. Should you decide to enable these features later, you can re-authenticate your email through the OAuth process and allow the necessary permissions.
• Authentication Security: Shift integrates email, app, and extension login security. When you log into your accounts in Shift, you're using the security mechanisms of those services to authenticate.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Support: Shift supports various 2FA methods, including push notifications, text messages, and code generators like Google Authenticator. However, some methods, such as security keys and biometric authenticators, are not currently supported.
• Data Collection: While Shift does track how you use the application to improve its services, it does not track the content rendered within any of your added accounts or apps.
