Privacy Policy

Data Stored Locally

• Split sessions you create (items, people, amounts, assignments).
• Split history and re-share cards.
• Saved people and groups from prior splits.
• App preferences (default tax, default tip, currency, theme).
• Imported contact names you choose to add to a split.

Receipt Images & AI Processing

• Receipt photos and imported screenshots are sent to our backend, which proxies them to Anthropic's Claude Haiku Vision API to extract items and prices.
• Images are processed in real time and are NOT stored on our servers or Anthropic's servers after the response is returned.
• The extracted structured data (item names, prices, totals) is returned to your device where it lives in your local split history.
• When no internet is available, scanning falls back to on-device Apple VisionKit OCR — no data leaves your device.

iCloud Sync (Optional)

• If you enable iCloud Sync (Pro feature), your split history is synced across your devices using Apple CloudKit.
• This data is stored in your personal iCloud account and governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
• We do not have access to your iCloud data.

How We Use Your Data

• Core Functionality: To extract items from receipts, calculate splits, distribute tax and tip, and generate shareable cards.
• Split History: Stored locally so you can re-share a split or look up past amounts.
• Contacts (Optional): To let you add friends' names to a split quickly — contact data never leaves your device.
• Subscription: To manage Pro entitlements via Apple StoreKit and RevenueCat.

Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not require an email address, phone number, or account to use the app.
• We do not collect financial account numbers, bank details, or credit card numbers.
• We do not run behavioral tracking or advertising analytics.
• We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing.
• We do not retain receipt images on any server after processing.

Your Rights

Children’s Privacy

SplitSnap is rated 4+ and does not collect personal information from any users, including children. No account or personal information is required to use the app.
