Privacy Policy

Overview

RoundSplit is a bill-splitting app that helps you divide restaurant receipts among friends. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data the app handles and how it is used.

Data We Collect

Information You Provide

• Participant names — First names entered during the bill-splitting flow to identify who owes what. Stored locally on your device only.
• Receipt images — Photos captured via the camera or selected from your photo library. Used to extract receipt details.
• Receipt data — Restaurant name, item names, quantities, prices, tax, and totals — either extracted from images or entered manually.

Information We Do NOT Collect

How We Use Your Data

All data is used solely to provide the bill-splitting functionality:

1. Receipt scanning — Receipt images are sent to OpenAI's API for text extraction (OCR). Only the image is sent — no names, device info, or other personal data accompanies the request.
2. Bill calculation — Names and item data are used locally to calculate each participant's share.
3. Bill history — If you save a bill, the receipt data and image are stored on your device for future reference.

Data Storage

• All data is stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework.
• Data is protected by iOS Data Protection (encrypted at rest).
• No data is uploaded to our servers — we do not operate any servers or cloud services.
• No iCloud sync or cloud backup of app data is performed.

Third-Party Services

OpenAI API

When you scan a receipt, the image is sent to OpenAI's API (api.openai.com) for text extraction. This is the only third-party service the app communicates with.

• Data sent — The receipt image only (as a compressed JPEG).
• Data NOT sent — Your name, device information, location, or any other personal data.
• Purpose — To extract restaurant name, item names, and prices from the receipt image.
• Encryption — All communication uses HTTPS/TLS encryption.
• OpenAI's privacy practices — Please refer to OpenAI's Privacy Policy for how they handle data received through their API.

No Other Third Parties

The app does not integrate any analytics or tracking services, advertising networks, crash reporting tools, social media SDKs, or data brokers.

Device Permissions

The app requests the following permissions, both solely for capturing receipt images:

You can revoke these permissions at any time in iOS Settings. The app will continue to function for manual entry without these permissions.

Data Sharing

• We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party.
• Receipt images are sent to OpenAI solely for text extraction as described above.
• The app includes a Share Sheet feature that lets you choose to share a bill summary image via Messages, Mail, or other apps. This sharing is entirely user-initiated.

Data Retention and Deletion

• Saved bills remain on your device until you delete them.
• You can delete individual saved bills at any time by swiping to delete in the bill history.
• Uninstalling the app removes all stored data from your device.
• You can also clear all app data through iOS Settings › General › iPhone Storage › RoundSplit › Delete App.

Children's Privacy

The app does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. The app does not require an account and does not collect personal identifiers.

Tracking

This app does not track you. We do not link your data with third-party data for advertising, share data with data brokers, use advertising identifiers, or perform cross-app or cross-site tracking.

Security

• On-device data is encrypted at rest via iOS Data Protection.
• Network communication with OpenAI uses HTTPS/TLS encryption.
• The OpenAI API key is securely embedded at build time and is not accessible to users.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
