Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 8, 2026

Splita ("we", "our", or "the service") is a lightweight group expense-splitting web application. We believe in collecting as little data as possible. This Privacy Policy explains what data we handle, how we handle it, and your rights.

What we collect

When you use Splita, the following information is stored in our database in order to make the service work:

• Group names you create
• Member names you add to groups
• Expense entries (title, amount, date, payer, participants, optional notes)
• The randomly generated group identifier (slug) used in shareable links

We do not collect or require:

• Names, email addresses, or phone numbers for account creation
• Passwords (Splita has no login or sign-up)
• Payment information
• Location data
• Device fingerprints or advertising identifiers

Local storage on your device

Splita uses your browser's local storage (localStorage) to remember:

• Your preferred language (English, Japanese, or Chinese)
• A list of groups you have recently visited, so they appear on the home page for convenience

This information stays on your device. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings. Splita does not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics.

Where your data is stored

Group and expense data is stored in a managed PostgreSQL database (Neon) hosted on secure cloud infrastructure. The application is deployed on Vercel. Both providers maintain industry-standard security practices.

Who can see your data

Splita uses single-link collaboration. Anyone with the unique group link can view and edit the group. Group links contain a randomly generated identifier and are not indexed by search engines. Treat your group link like a password and only share it with people you trust.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.

Data retention

Group data is retained as long as the group is in active use. We may remove inactive groups after extended periods of inactivity. If you would like your group data deleted immediately, please contact us (see Contact page).

Children's privacy

Splita is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent changes.
