At SplitAI, we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal and financial information when you use our web application (splitai.in).
1. Information We Collect
To provide a smooth and intelligent bill splitting experience, we collect the following types of information:
- Account Information: When you register using Email/Password or Google Sign-In, we store your name, email address, and profile photo URL to create your user profile.
- UPI Details: We store your UPI ID (e.g., username@bank) to generate prefilled QR codes for group settlements. We never store bank accounts, credit card numbers, or secure pins.
- Expenses and Bills: We store expense titles, total amounts, categories, and split ratios to manage balances in your groups.
2. AI Bill Scanning Safety
Our receipt scanning feature is designed with data protection as a core priority:
- When you upload a receipt photo for scanning, the image is parsed in-memory and forwarded to the Google Gemini API to extract the total amount, merchant, and category.
- We do not store or save receipt images. They are processed temporarily in memory and discarded immediately after scanning is complete.
- We actively block uploads of credit/debit card photos, bank statements, or cheques to protect your sensitive financial credentials.
3. Google AdSense & Cookies
To keep this application free, we partner with third-party networks, including Google AdSense, to serve advertisements:
- Google uses cookies (such as the DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visit to this and other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting the Google Ad Settings page.
4. Data Security
We use industry-standard measures, secured by Firebase authentication and MongoDB encryption, to safeguard user data. However, no transmission of data over the internet can be guaranteed as 100% secure.
