Privacy Policy #
This Privacy Policy explains how your data is collected, used, and protected when you use our app. We take privacy seriously and are committed to being transparent about our practices.
By downloading, accessing, or using this app, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms, please do not use the app.
For any questions about this policy or to request data deletion, please contact us at travelsortexpense@gmail.com
1.0 Information We Collect #
We collect information only when necessary to provide core features, improve the user experience, and ensure the app functions properly.
We collect and store data only with your explicit consent and through your direct interaction with the app or app shortcut.
We do not collect or have access to your bank account information, credit card numbers, or any linked financial accounts.
We do not sell, rent, or directly share your personal information with advertisers, marketing platforms, or data brokers. We do not use your data for targeted advertising or promotional purposes.
The data you provide stays within the app and is used solely to power the app’s core features (like logging expenses). If we ever need to share data in the future (for example, to improve app functionality), it will only be done with your clear knowledge and consent.
1.1 Information You Provide to Us #
| Data Type | Examples | When It’s Provided |
|---|---|---|
| Email Address | Your email | When you sign in or register for an account |
| Account Name | The name you enter (can be a pseudonym) | During account setup |
| Partner Name | Your travel partner’s name | When you add a local partner to a trip |
| Trip Details | Travel dates, trip currency codes | When you create or edit a trip |
| Expense Details | Amounts, notes, categories, merchant, location, and optional photos | - When you manually add or edit expenses - When you use the app shortcut in Apple Shortcuts to automatically import expense details after using Apple Pay |
1.2 What Personal Information We Collect About You and How We Collect It #
Personal information is defined as information or an opinion about an individual. If you can use the information to reasonable identify someone specific, that is personal information.
This can include names, contact details, photos, or location data. You can learn more from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
We only collect the following personal information that you provide directly through your use of the app or its shortcuts, and always with your explicit consent.
| Category | What Personal Information We Collect | When It’s Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Name and Email | Email used for login, name provided during sign-up | When you register and onboard to the app |
| Trip & Expense Info | Trip details, expense entries (amounts, notes, categories, etc.) | When you create or update a trip or expense, or use the app shortcut to auto-log Apple Pay expenses |
| Photos | Receipt or expense-related images captured using the in-app camera | When you choose to take or upload a photo for an expense |
| Location | Your current device location (if enabled) to help track where a purchase occurred | Location access is only used at the moment of adding an expense and is not tracked in the background |
1.3 A note on the name you provide when you onboard onto the app #
Please note that it is entirely ok for account names to be nicknames, initials, or other non-identifying labels (e.g. “ABC”, “Trip Owner”, “Partner”, “Sisterr”).
If you do choose to use your full name or another identifiable name, your related trip and expense data could also be treated as personal information under privacy laws.
To maintain your privacy, you can use non-identifiable labels mentioned above unless you explicitly wish to associate your name with expenses.
Your data is stored securely and remains within the app and is not shared with third parties.
2.0 What rights do you, as the data subject, have #
You have the right to:
- Access and review any data associated with your account.
- Request that we delete your data.
- Revoke permissions (e.g. camera, location) at any time via your device settings.
Your data is only stored for as long as your account is active or as required for functionality. You can contact us in writing at any time to request or permanently delete data.
Identification checks may be asked if you request us to retrieve data associated with your account or request account deletion. We will aim to retreive or delete data within 90 days of your request.
2.1 Account Deletion #
You may request the deletion of your account at any time. This will permanently remove your personal information, including your email address, name, and any trip or expense data that is not shared with another user.
Please note: If you have shared trips with a travel partner, the data associated with those trips (such as expenses and trip details) cannot be deleted, as it is part of another user’s account.
We preserve this shared data to maintain the integrity of your partner’s records (just like how a deleted email account cannot unsend emails).
3.0 How we store and secure the Personal Information we collect #
All data is stored securely, which maintain industry-standard encryption and access control. No data is shared with third parties.
