Last Updated: February 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Chai Split. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you as to how we look after your personal data when you use our iOS application and website, and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.
2. Data We Collect
- Personal Data: We may collect your name, email address, and phone number when you create an account to facilitate easy splitting among friends.
- Camera and Photos: With your permission, we access your camera and photo library specifically to scan receipts for bill splitting. We process these images using optical character recognition (OCR) to itemize the bill automatically.
- Contacts: With your permission, we access your contact list to make it seamless for you to locate friends and accurately request or divide payments with them.
- Usage Data: We collect anonymized information about how you interact with our app in order to improve its functionality, performance, and user experience.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the data we collect solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Chai Split service. Specifically, we use it to:
- Process receipts and calculate bill divisions fairly and accurately.
- Facilitate the fluid sharing of bill splits with your chosen contacts.
- Provide customer support and respond effectively to your inquiries.
- Enhance our machine learning algorithms for better, faster receipt parsing (using anonymized, non-identifiable data).
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our application, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information stringently confidential.
5. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate and robust security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used, or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered, or disclosed.
