Last updated 31 July 2026 · applies to the SplitFree Android app (app.splitfree.client)
SplitFree splits bills between friends. It does not show ads, does not track you across other apps or websites, and contains no analytics or advertising SDK. It does not request your advertising ID.
| Data | Why | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Name / username | So other people recognise you in a group | Required |
| Email address | Sign-in, and so friends can find you | Required |
| UPI ID | Shown to someone paying you back, so they can pay in one tap | Optional |
| Profile photo | Shown next to your name | Optional |
| Expenses, splits, settlements | The ledger — the purpose of the app | Required |
| Payment screenshots | Only if you attach one as proof of a payment | Optional |
| Notification token | To deliver reminders. Only if you allow notifications | Optional |
Location, contacts, calendar, SMS, call logs, microphone, and health data are never accessed. The app declares no permission for any of them.
Your data is not sold, and not shared with advertisers or data brokers. It is processed by two providers acting on our behalf:
Other people see only what the app shows them: your name, photo, and the expenses you actually share with them. Someone you share nothing with cannot see your ledger.
Your data is kept while your account exists. Delete your account and it is removed. Expenses that other people are still party to are anonymised rather than erased, so that their ledger stays correct — your name is replaced and your email, UPI ID and photo are removed.
Deletion happens immediately, not on a delay, and there is no waiting period in which the account can be restored. Anonymised entries have no personal detail left in them and are kept for as long as the other people involved keep their own records. Routine encrypted backups may still hold a copy for a few days before they are overwritten.
In the app: Account → Settings → Delete account. Balances must be settled first, so nobody is left with a debt pointing at a deleted person. Deletion removes your profile, email, UPI ID, photo, payment screenshots, notification tokens and activity history.
If you cannot access the app, email the address below from your registered address and it will be done manually.
All traffic is encrypted. Photos and screenshots are stored privately and shown through links that expire after a few minutes. Permission checks happen on the server rather than in the app, so data you are not party to is never sent to your phone in the first place.
SplitFree is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
If this policy changes materially, the date above changes and the app will show a notice.
