Split: Group Expense Sharing — Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 11, 2026
Developer Brand: Digital NEXUS (digitalnexus.studio)
Package Identifier: com.split.nexus

1. Summary

Split: Group Expense Sharing is an offline-first group expense splitter and receipt itemizer. Groups, expenses, balances, settlements, and payment handles are stored locally on your device. Split contains no ads, no address-book harvesting, and no Google Play Billing or paywalls.

2. Data Stored Locally

Member names you enter, group balances, itemized receipt line items, settlements, and payment links/QR strings remain in private on-device storage (AsyncStorage and Expo SecureStore). Split does not upload your phone contacts and never asks for bank card numbers.

3. Permissions

• Camera & Photo Library: Requested contextually only when you scan a payment/join QR code or snap/select a receipt image.
• Internet & Network State: Used only when you choose optional cloud sync (via Supabase when backend keys are configured) or when you submit a receipt photo using your own optional Google Gemini API key.
• Zero Notification or Overlay Permissions: Split does not declare push-notification, contacts, or overlay permissions.

4. Optional AI OCR & Cloud Sync

If you manually itemize a receipt, nothing leaves your phone. If you enter your own Google Gemini API key (saved locally in encrypted SecureStore) and run AI receipt extraction, the receipt image is sent over HTTPS directly to Google's Gemini API under your key. Optional group synchronization via Supabase uses encrypted HTTPS when enabled.

5. Payments

Split is 100% free and includes zero Google Play Billing library, subscriptions, or paid add-ons.
