Privacy Policy

RentingSplit is operated by liheyang in Christchurch, New Zealand. This policy explains how we handle information when you visit the website or use the app. Contact womendemiao@gmail.com for privacy questions or requests.

Information and purposes

We use your email and profile details to sign you in and identify you to your household. You and other household members provide household names, invitations, expenses, amounts, notes, shares, payment records, and achievements so the app can maintain shared records and calculate balances. Optional receipt uploads support attachments and AI entry. Notification preferences, feedback, and support messages help us deliver requested messages and resolve issues. Subscription, transaction, and scan-credit records support paid access and refunds when purchases are available. Technical information, such as session identifiers and request logs handled by our hosting providers, supports authentication, reliability, and security.

An account email is needed to use a signed-in household account. You can enter bills manually without uploading receipts or using AI. We receive information from you, household members, your chosen sign-in provider, and payment providers when relevant.

Sharing and service providers

Active members of the same household can access shared information, including attached receipts and achievements. Leaving a household ends your access but does not automatically erase its shared records. Authorised support access is limited to what is needed to operate the service or handle a request.

We use Supabase for authentication, database, and receipt storage; Cloudflare for website hosting; Google Gemini for AI receipt processing; Resend for service emails when enabled; and Paddle for purchases when checkout is available. Optional Google or Facebook sign-in shares account information, such as your name, email address, profile picture, and provider identifier, to authenticate you and identify your account. We do not request permission to publish posts or access your friends list. Payment details entered in Paddle checkout are handled by Paddle and its payment providers; RentingSplit uses transaction and subscription records to provide purchased features. We may also disclose information when required by law.

Receipt uploads and AI

Uploading a receipt on the new-bill form can automatically start a Google Gemini scan when scanning is available. The uploaded image and extraction instructions are sent to Google, and the result is an editable draft. You must review and save the bill yourself. An image is stored when uploaded, even if you do not save the bill. Remove personal, confidential, or sensitive information before scanning, or enter the bill manually without uploading an image.

Google's handling depends on the applicable Gemini service tier. Under its unpaid-service terms, submitted content and responses may be used to improve Google products and reviewed by people; those terms prohibit submitting personal, confidential, or sensitive information. Under paid-service terms, inputs and outputs are not used for product improvement, although limited safety logging can occur. See the Gemini API terms. A Free or Pro RentingSplit plan does not by itself determine Google's service tier.

Storage, overseas processing, and security

Receipt files use private storage, with time-limited links for authorised access. Our providers may process information outside New Zealand, including in Australia and other countries where they operate. Their handling is subject to the relevant service terms and data-protection arrangements; information is not guaranteed to remain solely in New Zealand. We use account authentication and household access controls to protect records. Keep receipt links and sign-in details private.

Retention and deletion

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain shared household records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. We review information for deletion or de-identification when it is no longer needed, including when handling account-closure or deletion requests. Shared records may need to remain for other members; we assess whether identifying information can be removed while preserving their records.

There is currently no automatic receipt expiry or self-service account deletion. Leaving a household, removing an attachment from a bill, or abandoning an upload does not automatically delete the stored file. Contact us to request removal or account closure. Requests are handled manually after checking identity, affected shared records, and any retention requirement. We explain what can be removed and any information we need to retain. Copies held in backups or provider logs may remain until their applicable retention periods end.

Cookies and your choices

The app uses cookies for sign-in sessions and local browser storage for onboarding preferences. Blocking session cookies can prevent sign-in. You can use manual bill entry instead of receipt scanning and turn off optional reminder emails where available. You can request access to your personal information, correction, or deletion by emailing womendemiao@gmail.com. We may verify your identity and will handle requests within applicable legal timeframes.

Questions and policy updates

Please contact us with privacy concerns. You may also contact the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner. We show the latest revision date on this page and will notify affected users of material changes to how their information is handled.
