Privacy policy

The short version

ShareDues keeps score of shared expenses. We collect what we need to run the app, nothing more. We don't sell your data, we don't show ads, and your money never moves through us.

What we collect

• Account details — your email address, name, and password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text). If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email from them.
• The records you create — expenses, loans, circles, balances, settlements, income entries, and the people you add to them (including people not yet on ShareDues, if you track them as placeholder profiles).
• Receipt photos and typed descriptions — if you use AI expense entry, the photo or text you submit is sent to our AI processing provider to extract the expense details. A scanned receipt photo is then stored with the expense, so the people who can open that bill — everyone in the split, plus the members of its circle if it has one — can check the numbers against the receipt. It reaches a public share link only if whoever entered the bill turns on “Show on shared links” for it, which is off by default. Scan a receipt and abandon the draft, and we delete the photo automatically within a few days. Remove a photo from an expense and we delete the file; deleting the expense itself does not, because the bill stays visible to the people who were on it, marked as deleted, and the photo is the evidence for the numbers they can still see.
• Chat assistant links — if you connect Telegram or WhatsApp, we store the link between your chat account and your ShareDues account so the bot can add expenses and send reminders you asked for.
• Crash and diagnostic data — we use Sentry to collect crash reports and performance data so we can fix bugs.
• Subscription status — if you buy ShareDues Premium, Apple or Google processes the payment and we never see your card details. We and our subscription provider (RevenueCat) keep a record that your account is subscribed, which plan, and when it renews or ends, so the app knows what to unlock.

What we use it for

To run ShareDues: syncing your balances, sending the notifications and reminders you turn on, converting currencies, and keeping your account secure. That's it. We don't sell personal data or use it for advertising.

Who can see your data

People in your circles see the expenses and balances you share with them—that's the point of the app. Service providers that help us run ShareDues (hosting, crash reporting, AI expense parsing, subscription management) process data on our behalf. We never post to your chat apps without your permission.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Passwords are hashed with a modern algorithm. You can add an app lock with a passcode plus Face ID or Touch ID, and sign out other devices from Settings.

Your choices

• Turn notifications and chat-app channels on or off any time in Settings.
• Disconnect Telegram or WhatsApp any time.
• Edit an expense to remove a receipt photo from it, and choose whether that photo appears on links you share.
• Delete your account from the Me tab inside the app—this removes your personal data from our systems, and residual copies in encrypted backups are purged within 30 days. Records shared with others (like an expense in a circle) may persist for them, with your account identity removed from them; a receipt photo you attached stays as it is, so remove it first if you would rather it went too. A subscription is held by Apple or Google, not by us, so deleting your account does not cancel it—cancel it in your store account first, or you will keep being charged.
