Privacy Policy & Data Security
Last updated: October 5, 2026 • Effective for all Splitry applications & web services
Our Core Privacy Commitment
At Splitry, your trust is our highest priority. We do NOT sell your personal data to third parties or advertising networks. Every byte of financial and contact information you share is processed strictly to deliver transparent expense management, bill splitting, and group settlements. We share limited app activity with Meta to measure our ads only if you allow ad measurement in the app, and your expenses, groups, balances, and contacts are never part of that.
1Introduction
Welcome to Splitry ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy outlines how Splitry collects, uses, stores, and protects your data when you use our mobile application (iOS & Android) and website services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using Splitry, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
2Information We Collect & Device Permissions
To provide a seamless expense-sharing experience, we collect specific data points based on your interactions with the app:
Full name, email address, phone number, and profile image uploaded during registration or profile setup.
Expense titles, monetary amounts, currency preferences, split shares, payment status, and settlement history.
With your explicit permission, we access your device address book solely to let you search and select friends to add to groups. We do not scrape or store your complete contact book on our servers.
Accessed with your permission to pick or crop receipt photos, profile avatars, group cover images, or chat attachment photos.
Text messages, attached images, and whiteboard drawing updates transmitted via secure WebSockets (`socket.io`) to update group members in real-time.
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) push tokens used to send instant push alerts when new expenses, settlements, or group invites are created.
Splitry Premium plan, trial and subscription status, renewal and expiry dates, and store transaction identifiers. Payments are made through the App Store or Google Play, so we never receive your card or bank details.
Actions you take in the app, crash logs, app version, device model, operating system, and IP address. Your device advertising ID is used only if you allow ad measurement (see section 4).
3How We Use Your Information
- •Expense Calculation & Balances: To accurately calculate who owes whom and simplify group balances.
- •Push Alerts & Reminders: To deliver real-time notifications about new expenses, bill reminders, and payment settlements.
- •Contact Invitations: To allow you to launch native SMS or Email apps to invite friends locally from your device.
- •Group Collaboration: To sync chat messages, shared group whiteboards, and receipt uploads securely among group participants.
- •Splitry Premium: To check your subscription status and unlock paid features.
- •App Stability & Improvement: To fix crashes, prevent abuse, and understand how the app is used so we can improve it.
- •Ad Measurement (Optional): To learn which of our Facebook and Instagram ads lead to installs and sign-ups, only if you allow it (see section 4).
4Ad Measurement with Meta (Optional)
Splitry advertises on Facebook and Instagram. In the app we ask whether you allow us to measure those ads. It is off unless you choose "Allow", and Splitry works exactly the same either way.
- That the app was installed and opened on your device.
- That an account was created, and whether it was verified by email or phone.
- That you finished the introduction, created your first group, or added your first expense. Only the fact is sent, never the content or the amount.
- Your device advertising ID (on iPhone only if you also allow tracking in Apple's prompt), an app identifier created by Meta's software, your IP address, and basic device information such as model, operating system, language, time zone, and app version.
- If you start a free trial or a subscription, our subscription provider RevenueCat tells Meta that this happened, with the price and currency.
Your name, email address, phone number, contacts, groups, expenses, amounts, balances, messages, or receipts.
Meta uses this data to show us which ads led to installs and sign-ups and to improve how our ads are delivered. Meta handles it under its own privacy policy.
You can change your choice at any time in the app under Profile → Preferences → Ad measurement. On iPhone you can also use Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings → Privacy → Ads. If you say no, Meta's software is not started and nothing is sent.
5Who We Share Data With
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as follows:
- •Other Splitry Users: Your name and profile photo, and the expenses, settlements, messages, and pictures you add to a group or share with a friend, so shared expenses work.
- •Google Firebase: Push tokens, app usage data, and crash and diagnostic data, for notifications, analytics, and crash reporting.
- •RevenueCat: Your account ID, name, email address, phone number, app version, and purchase information, to manage subscriptions.
- •Apple & Google: Purchase details, because subscriptions are bought through the App Store or Google Play under their own terms.
- •Meta Platforms: The data listed in section 4, only if you allow ad measurement.
- •Google Analytics: Website visit data, such as pages viewed and browser type, to understand traffic to splitry.com.
- •Authorities & Legal Advisers: Only what the law requires, or what is needed to protect our rights.
6. Account Deletion & Data Erasure
Your right to permanently delete your account and personal data
We respect your right to control your personal data. You can request complete deletion of your account and personal information at any time:
Method A: In-App Account Deletion
Open the Splitry Mobile App → Go to Profile / Settings → Tap "Deactivate / Delete Account" → Confirm deletion.
Method B: Direct Email Deletion Request
Send an email to splitry@gmail.com with the subject "Account Deletion Request" from your registered email address. We will process your request within 7 business days.
What happens when you delete your account?
- Your profile credentials, email, phone number, and push notification tokens are permanently removed from our active database.
- To prevent financial imbalance or group ledger corruption, existing group transaction amounts you created remain recorded in existing groups, but your personal identity is replaced with "Deleted User".
- Deleting your account does not cancel a Splitry Premium subscription. Cancel it in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.
7Data Security & Storage Encryption
We employ bank-grade security protocols to protect your information:
- ✓Encryption in Transit: All communications between the app and server use HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption.
- ✓Encrypted QR Payloads: QR codes and deep links are encrypted using AES-256-CBC with secure IV verification.
- ✓Local Session Security: Authentication tokens are stored securely in local device storage (`GetStorage`) and sanitized on logout.
8Children's Privacy
Splitry is intended solely for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has registered, we will promptly delete their account and data.
