Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how SplitEase (“we”, “the app”) collects, uses, and stores information when you use the SplitEase iOS application.
If you have questions, see our Support page or the support contact on the App Store listing.
Who we are
SplitEase is an expense-splitting app. Shared data is synced through a backend hosted on Supabase (authentication, database, and file storage).
Information we collect
Account information
When you create an account we store:
- Email address
- Display name
- A friend code generated for sharing and invites
- Preferences (currency, appearance, accent)
Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth (email/password; Sign in with Apple when enabled).
Expense and group content
To provide the product we store:
- Groups you create or join, membership, and invites
- Expenses (amounts, currencies, categories, who paid / who owes, comments, edit history)
- Settlements (payments between people)
- Optional receipt photos attached to expenses
- Optional profile photos and group icon photos
Device permissions (on your device)
- Camera — QR codes and receipt photos (only when you use those features)
- Photo library — group icons and receipt images (only when you pick photos)
Technical data
- Account identifiers (user IDs) required to sync your data securely
- Standard HTTPS network traffic to our backend
We do not use third-party advertising SDKs or App Tracking Transparency tracking in the current app.
How we use information
We use this information to:
- Create and maintain your account
- Sync groups, expenses, and settlements across your devices and with people you share with
- Show balances and activity
- Let you invite friends (codes and QR)
- Provide account deletion and support
Sharing
- Other SplitEase users you share groups or friendships with can see relevant profile fields (for example display name and avatar) and shared expense content.
- Supabase processes data as our infrastructure provider under their terms and our project configuration (including row-level security).
- We do not sell your personal information.
Storage and security
- Data in transit uses HTTPS.
- Access to shared rows is restricted by authentication and database row-level security policies.
- Receipts, avatars, and group icons are stored in private storage buckets accessible to authorized members.
Retention and deletion
- You can delete your account in the app (Edit profile → Delete account).
- Deletion removes your login and personal identifiers. Shared expense history may remain for other members so their balances stay correct; your name is shown as “Deleted user.”
- You can also sign out; signing out does not delete your cloud account.
Children’s privacy
SplitEase is not directed at children under 13. Do not create an account if you are under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised policy.
