we collect what we need to make the app work. we don't sell your data. we don't show you ads. your expense data is yours.
1. what we collect
- account info: your name, email, and profile picture when you sign up.
- expense data: the groups you create, expenses you add, and settlement records. this is what makes the app work.
- usage data: basic analytics like which features you use and crash reports. this helps us fix bugs and make things better.
2. what we don't collect
- bank account or credit card numbers
- your contacts or phone book
- your location (we don't need to know where you are)
- anything from other apps on your phone
3. how we use your data
your data is used to make pay pls. work — showing your groups, calculating splits, tracking who paid what. we also use anonymized usage data to improve the app. that's it.
4. who sees your data
your expense data is visible to other members of your groups — that's the whole point. we don't share your personal data with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes. ever.
5. data storage and security
