Splync Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you provide or create when using Splync, including:

• Your email address, display name, account identifier, and password in hashed form
• An optional profile photo
• Project information, including project names, categories, budgets, currencies, expenses, dates, memos, members, and settlement information
• Friend relationships, invitations, and notifications
• Technical information needed to operate and secure the service, such as IP addresses, request timestamps, and server logs

Splync does not receive or store your payment-card number or payment credentials. Optional in-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store.

2. How We Use Information

We use your information to:

• Create and authenticate your account
• Verify your email address and help you reset your password
• Provide projects, shared expenses, settlements, friendships, and notifications
• Send transactional and account-related communications
• Maintain, troubleshoot, and protect Splync and prevent abuse
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

3. Information Visible to Other Users

Splync is a collaborative service. Your display name, profile photo, and information you add to a shared project may be visible to the other members of that project. Expense, settlement, and related project records may identify the member who created, paid, or edited them.

4. Service Providers and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information or share it for third-party advertising. We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: We use service providers, including Amazon Web Services, to host Splync, store and process service data, and deliver transactional email. They process information on our behalf to provide these services.
• Apple: Apple processes optional in-app purchases under Apple's own terms and privacy policy.
• Legal and safety reasons: We may disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect users, Splync, Labxbit, or others.
• With your direction or consent: We may disclose information when you ask us to do so or otherwise consent.

5. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect your information. Connections between the app and our servers use TLS, passwords are stored in hashed form rather than plain text, and access to service infrastructure is restricted. No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

6. Authentication and Abuse Prevention

Splync uses email addresses and passwords for authentication. We apply safeguards such as request rate limits and temporary restrictions after repeated failed attempts. You should use a strong password that you do not reuse with another service.

7. Data Retention and Account Deletion

We retain account and service information while your account is active and as needed to provide and protect Splync. Short-lived verification and password-reset information expires when it is no longer needed. Some technical records and backups may be retained for a limited period for security, recovery, and legal purposes.

You can initiate account deletion from Account Settings in the app. Deletion disables access to the account and replaces identifying account information, including your email address and display name, with non-personal placeholder values.

Because Splync projects are shared records, expenses, settlements, memberships, and related project history may remain available to other project members after your account is deleted. These records are retained without your active account identity where necessary to preserve the accuracy and continuity of the shared project.

You may contact us if you have questions about deletion or want to request deletion of other personal information associated with your account, subject to information we must retain for legitimate or legal reasons.

8. Your Choices

You can update your display name and profile photo in the app. You may also request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us. The availability of particular rights may depend on the laws that apply where you live.

9. Children's Privacy

Splync is not directed to children under the minimum age required to consent to the processing of personal information in their location. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to Splync or applicable requirements. We will update the effective date above and provide additional notice through the app or by email when appropriate.
