Will my email, contact, calendar, or drive information to be shared with Shift's servers, employees, or data partners?

No. Never. Read more about each permission in the sign-in process here.

Why does Shift ask for access?

Simply: for API access. When you allow access to these permissions or "scopes", this provides the Shift desktop application on your computer access to Google's APIs to access your account on your behalf. In other words, this simply allows your email, calendar, and Drive services to work in the Shift desktop application. This access and the information within each service are strictly local to the Shift desktop application on your computer. None of the information contained in any of these services, including what is rendered within each service is ever sent to or stored on Shift's servers, accessible to Shift employees, or sold or shared with Shift's data partners.
