Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how The Bill Split (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and app at thebillsplit.com (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

• Account details — your email address and the display name you provide at sign-up.
• Bills you create — the names of people on a bill, items, amounts, who paid, and any titles or dates you add. These names are labels you type; they are not accounts and we do not contact them.
• Receipt images — photos you upload to be scanned. These are stored so you can view them and re-open your bills.
• Payment information — when you buy a pass, payment is processed by our payment partner (Razorpay). We receive a confirmation and a transaction reference; we do not receive or store your card, UPI, or bank details.
• Usage and device data — basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, and actions in the app, used to operate and secure the Service.

How we use your information

• To provide the Service — create and store bills, scan receipts, calculate splits, and generate shareable links.
• To process payments and grant the scans and access included in your pass.
• To secure your account, prevent abuse and fraud, and debug problems.
• To send you essential service messages (for example, sign-in and account emails).

Receipt scanning (AI)

When you scan a receipt, the image is sent to a third-party AI provider (Google’s Gemini API) to extract the text — items, amounts, restaurant name, and date. The extracted text is returned to us and shown to you as editable suggestions. We do not use your receipts to train any models.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers that help us run the Service:

• Supabase — authentication and database.
• Cloudflare R2 — storage of receipt images.
• Razorpay — payment processing.
• Google (Gemini API) — receipt text extraction.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users.

Public share links

When you finalize a bill, we generate a link with a random code. Anyone who has that link can view that bill’s split (names, amounts, and the receipt image) without signing in. Only share it with the people involved. You can delete a bill at any time, which removes its public link.

Data retention

We keep your bills and receipts until you delete them or close your account. Deleted bills are removed from normal use; payment records may be retained as required for legal and accounting purposes.

Security

We use industry-standard measures — encrypted connections, scoped access, and signed storage URLs — to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information.

Your rights

You can access and update your name in your account settings, delete individual bills, and request deletion of your account and associated data by writing to support@thebillsplit.com.

Children

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the “Last updated” date above when we do.
