Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 20, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to SplitSnap. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to privacy and how your information is handled when you use our receipt scanning bill-splitting application.

SplitSnap uses third-party artificial intelligence services to process receipt images and extract text for bill-splitting calculations. While we strive to protect your privacy, please be aware that receipt data is transmitted to these services for processing.

Important: Do not scan receipts containing personally identifying information, sensitive personal data, or confidential information. Use SplitSnap only for standard retail receipts.

Third-Party AI Processing

SplitSnap uses third-party artificial intelligence services to process receipt images and extract text information for bill-splitting calculations. When you scan a receipt, the image is transmitted to these AI services for processing, and the extracted data is returned to the app.

Our approach includes these privacy considerations:

  • We do not store receipt images or extracted data on our own servers
  • Third-party AI services are subject to their own privacy policies and data handling practices
  • Processing requires an internet connection to access AI services
  • We recommend using only standard retail receipts without sensitive personal information

Data Processing and Third-Party Services

SplitSnap's data processing involves third-party AI services. Here's how your data is handled:

  • We do not operate our own servers for receipt processing
  • Receipt images are transmitted to third-party AI services for text extraction
  • We do not store your receipt data on our servers after processing
  • Third-party AI services have their own data retention and privacy policies
  • Bill splitting calculations are performed within the app after receiving extracted data

Standard app functionality services provided by Apple (App Store downloads, TestFlight distribution, and crash reporting) are governed by Apple's privacy policy and remain unchanged.

Camera Permission

SplitSnap requires camera permission to function properly. This permission is used exclusively for scanning receipts. When you take a photo of a receipt:

  • The image is transmitted to third-party AI services for text extraction
  • The image is only stored temporarily during the processing session
  • We do not store the image on our own servers after processing

You can revoke camera permission at any time through your device settings, though this will limit the app's functionality as receipt scanning is our core feature.

Data Handling

SplitSnap handles data as follows:

  • Receipt images are transmitted to third-party AI services for processing
  • Extracted receipt data (items, prices, etc.) is returned from AI services to the app
  • Bill splitting calculations are performed within the app
  • App preferences and settings are stored locally on your device

Data processed during your session is automatically cleared when you close the app or start a new receipt scanning session. We do not maintain a history of your receipts or transactions on our servers. However, third-party AI services may have their own data retention policies.

Handling of Financial Information

SplitSnap processes financial information from your receipts, including:

  • Item names and prices
  • Tax amounts
  • Total bill amounts
  • Merchant information

This information is:

  • Transmitted to third-party AI services for text extraction processing
  • Used only for the purpose of splitting the bill
  • Not stored on our servers after processing
  • Not used by us for any advertising, marketing, or analytics purposes
  • Subject to the privacy policies of third-party AI service providers
  • Automatically cleared from the app when you close it or start a new receipt scanning session

Sharing Results

SplitSnap allows you to share bill splitting results with others. When you use this feature:

  • You control who receives the information
  • Sharing happens through your device's native sharing features (Messages, Email, etc.)
  • We do not have access to or control over the information once you share it
  • The privacy policies of the apps you use to share (Messages, Email, etc.) will apply to that shared data

Children's Privacy

SplitSnap is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Rights

While we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, your receipt data is processed by third-party AI services. For data rights related to third-party processing, you should consult the privacy policies of those services.

You can:

  • Control camera permissions through your device settings
  • Delete the app at any time, which will remove all app-related data from your device
  • Use the app without creating an account or providing any personal information

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
