Effective Date: June 21, 2026
Splitty (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our "Device-First" approach to data handling.
1. Local Data Privacy (Device-First Storage) Splitty is designed to function primarily offline. Your privacy is our priority:
Offline Storage: All expense data, including group names, participant names, amounts, and categories, is stored locally on your device.
No Cloud Sync: We do not upload your financial or personal data to any external servers.
No Accounts: Splitty does not require a login. We do not collect your email address, phone number, or identity.
2. Advertising and Third-Party Services To keep Splitty available for free, we use Google AdMob to display advertisements.
Data Collected by AdMob: The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and use certain data for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention purposes. This includes:
Device Identifiers: Such as Apple's IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers) or Google Advertising ID.
Technical Data: IP address, device make/model, and mobile carrier.
Interaction Data: Information about how you interact with ads displayed in the app.
Personalization & Tracking: On iOS, we adhere to the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. We will only track your activity for personalized ads if you provide explicit consent.
User Control: You can manage or disable personalized ads through your device settings or via the "Show Ads" toggle within the App Settings.
3. Information Collection and Use
Local Data: Expenses and group settings remain exclusively on your device.
Sharing: Using native sharing exports data directly to your chosen app; we do not track or store these files.
In-App Purchases: Payments are processed solely by Apple/Google. We do not store payment info (e.g., credit card numbers); we only receive an anonymous token to verify your purchase status.
4. Data Retention & Deletion Because data is stored locally, uninstalling the app or clearing app data will permanently delete your records. Please backup your data manually before removal.
5. Technical Permissions
Required: Network access (for ads/purchases) and Haptics (for UI).
Not Requested: We do not access your camera, microphone, photo gallery, contacts, or precise GPS location.
6. Data Security Since your data is stored locally, its security depends on your device’s security. We utilize secure database technology (Hive) to manage your local records.
