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 processed by a trusted third-party AI service (Google) to read the bill. Your receipts are never used to train AI models.

Who we share data with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers that help us operate the Service, under agreements that limit them to that purpose:

• Cloud hosting, database, and storage providers — to run the app and securely store your bills and receipt images.
• Our payment partner (Razorpay) — to process payments.
• A third-party AI service (Google) — to extract text from receipt images.
• Analytics and error-monitoring providers — to keep the Service running, secure, and reliable.

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 only as long as needed to provide the Service. You can delete a bill at any time, and we may also remove older bills automatically over time. If you close your account, your associated data is deleted. Payment records may be retained longer 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.
