We collect the following types of data:

Account Information — Name, email address, and password when you create an account. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name and email from those services.

User Content — Profile photos, group images, and receipt photos you upload. Bug reports you submit through the app.
Usage Data — Transaction details, group memberships, and split calculations you create within the app.
Device Information — Device token for push notifications (only with your permission).

2. How We Use Your Data

All data we collect is used solely for app functionality:

To create and manage your account
To enable bill splitting, group management, and debt settlement
To generate QR payment codes from your IBAN
To send push notifications about group activity (with your permission)
To provide customer support through bug reports
To scan receipts using AI-powered text extraction

We do not use your data for advertising, tracking, analytics, or marketing purposes. We do not sell, share, or provide your data to third parties for their own purposes.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate the app:

Your data is stored on secure servers hosted by Supabase (PostgreSQL database) and Render.com (API server).
Authentication tokens are stored securely in your device's Keychain (iOS).
All communication between the app and our servers uses HTTPS encryption.
Passwords are hashed and salted — we never store plaintext passwords.
