Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2025-10-25
Welcome to Trispend (“the App”). This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, how we store/share it, and the choices you have.
- Account Info: Your email and the minimal data returned by sign-in providers (e.g., Apple/Google) to authenticate your account.
- App Data: Your locally stored trips, expenses, categories, and participants.
- Purchase Info: In-app purchase/entitlement status (e.g., Pro subscription, expiration date). We do not store your credit card number.
Note: We do not collect analytics data, crash logs, or usage statistics. We do not sell your personal data.
- Provide and maintain core features (tracking expenses, splitting, analytics).
- Account verification and security (including third-party sign-in).
- Process subscriptions/purchases and restore entitlements.
- Legal compliance and abuse prevention.
3. Storage & Sync
- Local Storage: Your data is stored on your device via Apple SwiftData in a local database.
- No Cloud Sync: Currently, the app does NOT sync data via iCloud. All data remains on your device unless you manually back up via device backup.
- Data Portability: Pro users can export their data in CSV format for backup purposes.
- Deletion: Deleting the app will remove all local data. Device backups may retain copies depending on your backup settings.
4. Subscriptions & In-App Purchases
- We use App Store / StoreKit to process purchases and entitlements.
- Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Restore Purchases will sync your Pro entitlement across devices.
5. Third-Party Services
1) Firebase Authentication
We use Firebase Authentication for Google and email sign-in. When you sign up/sign in, your email (and minimal info from the provider) is processed by Firebase for authentication purposes only. No analytics or crash data is collected.
2) Apple (refund-assist data, only if you request a refund)
If you request a refund for an in-app purchase made in Trispend, we may share necessary data with Apple about your access/consumption of the purchased content (e.g., unlock time, whether it was used) solely to help Apple assess the refund request, following Apple policies and the data-minimization principle.
6. Your Choices & Rights
- Marketing Opt-out: We currently do not send marketing communications; if introduced, we will provide an opt-out.
- Regional Rights: We honor privacy rights under applicable laws (e.g., access and deletion).
- Data Access & Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data through the app’s Settings page.
7. Data Retention
- Local Data: Trip and expense data stored on your device is retained until you delete it via the app or uninstall the app.
- Account Data: Firebase Authentication records are retained until you delete your account through the app.
- Purchase Records: App Store transaction records are retained by Apple per their policies. We only store entitlement status (Pro/Free) locally.
8. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately.
9. International Transfers
Your data may be processed in regions with different data-protection laws. We take reasonable measures to protect it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We’ll notify you in-app or on our site about material changes. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
