Privacy
splitip is built to be useful without knowing anything about you. This page describes what data the app touches and what it does with it.
Data the app stores
| What | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Display name, default tip / tax, home currency, decimal-places preference, tip-basis preference, round-total preference, onboarding-complete flag | SharedPreferences on the device |
Remembers your preferences across launches |
| The current bill you are working on | RAM only | Lets you walk through the funnel |
| Generated receipt PNG (temporary) | App's temporary directory | Handed to the system share sheet for save/share |
The app does not store a history of past bills. Once you leave the share screen, the in-memory bill is cleared. Generated PNGs go to the OS temp directory and are not deliberately persisted; the OS may evict them at any time.
Data the app sends
| Channel | What is sent | When |
|---|---|---|
| System share sheet | A receipt PNG, or a text summary that includes the totals and per-person amounts | Only when you tap Share image or Copy text |
| Google AdMob | Standard AdMob telemetry (ad requests, impressions, clicks, advertising ID where consented) | When ads are shown |
| Google ML Kit | On-device OCR — does not leave the device | Only when you tap Scan receipt |
| Device contacts | Read-only access used to populate the "Who's paying" picker | Only after you grant the permission |
There is no analytics SDK, no crash reporter, no backend server, no account system, and no sync.
Permissions requested
- Camera — only when you tap Scan receipt. Used for the OCR scan.
- Contacts (read-only) — only when you tap the contacts icon on the Who's paying screen. Used to suggest people for the split.
- Photos / images — needed by the receipt-scan flow to pick an existing image instead of taking a new one.
You can deny any of these and still use the rest of the app.
Third-party services
- Google AdMob — see the Google AdMob privacy policy.
- Google ML Kit — text recognition runs entirely on-device.
