SplitNow

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-17

SplitNow is a no-account split-bill app built by Devara Corporation, a solo Indonesian indie studio. This page explains exactly what data SplitNow handles, where it goes, and how you control it. If you have questions, email hello@devalab.app.

Short version: SplitNow has no user accounts, no servers storing your splits, and no analytics. Every split lives only on your phone. The only network call SplitNow ever makes is to Google's Gemini API to parse receipts — and that call carries only the receipt text + your description, never your payment details.

1. What we collect

Category	What it is	Where it lives
Splits	Restaurant name, items, prices, who-ordered-what, charges, total.	Local SQLite database on your device only. Never uploaded.
Payment methods	Bank/e-wallet name, account number, holder name, optional QRIS image.	Local SQLite, your device only. Embedded onto the share image when you decide to share.
Receipt images	The photo you take of the receipt.	OCR runs on-device (Apple Vision Kit on iOS, Google ML Kit on Android). The image itself never leaves the phone.
OCR text + description	The recognized lines + your typed-naturally description of who ordered what.	Sent to Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) for one-off parsing into structured items. Google's policy applies to that call.

2. What we don't collect

No name, email, phone, or any account identifier — there are no accounts.
No device IDs, advertising IDs, IP logging, or analytics.
No location data.
No contacts. SplitNow never asks for contacts permission.
No crash reporting tied to your identity (we don't know who you are).

3. The one network call: Google Gemini

SplitNow uses Google's Gemini API to convert the OCR text + your free-text description into a clean per-person breakdown. This is the only place the app talks to a server. We send:

The OCR text the phone extracted from your receipt photo.
The description you typed (e.g. "Budi got nasi goreng, Tina had es teh").
A short prompt asking Gemini to produce structured JSON.

We never send payment account numbers, your phone identifier, or any name other than the names you yourself typed in the description. Google's Gemini handling is governed by their privacy policy — review it if this matters to you.

4. Sharing the receipt image

When you tap "Share split", SplitNow renders the per-person breakdown as a PNG image including your selected payment method, and hands it to the OS share sheet. Where it goes from there (WhatsApp, LINE, Mail, etc.) is up to you and that app's policy. SplitNow doesn't keep a copy and doesn't track shares.

5. Your control

Delete a split: Long-press in the history view and tap Delete.
Delete a payment method: Settings → Payment methods → tap → Delete.
Delete everything: Uninstall the app. All local data is removed by the OS.

6. Children

SplitNow is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect anything from anyone — there are no accounts — but the app is intended for general audiences old enough to manage payments.

7. Changes

If this policy changes materially, we'll update the "Last updated" date and, when possible, surface a notice in the app on next launch.
