Privacy policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026
This policy explains what happens to your information when you use Split the Bill at splitthebill.cc (“the site”, “we”). The short version: we don’t have accounts, we don’t store your bills, and receipt photos never leave your device. Advertising on the site is provided by Google, which uses cookies as described below.
Receipt photos
When you take or upload a photo of a receipt, it is processed only on your device, inside your web browser. The text recognition software (Tesseract.js) runs locally; its program files and language data are downloaded from this site the first time you scan and cached by your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to us or anyone else, is not stored on your device by the site, and is discarded from memory once the text has been read. The text read from the receipt also stays in your browser.
Information stored in your browser
To save you time, the site keeps a few preferences in your browser’s local storage: your currency choices, tip percentage, tax and rounding options, split mode, number of people and light/dark theme. Recently fetched exchange rates are also cached there for up to 12 hours. These stay on your device, are never sent to us, and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings. We don’t store bill amounts, item names or people’s names.
Share links
If you use “Share link”, the numbers, item names and any names you typed are placed in the link itself. We don’t store them. Anyone you send the link to can see that information, so share it only with people you’re happy to show it to.
Exchange rates
If you choose to show shares in a different currency, your browser requests the latest rates from the Frankfurter API (api.frankfurter.dev), which publishes European Central Bank reference rates. That request includes only the currencies involved, not your amounts. Like any web request it reveals your IP address to that service. It is only made when the two currencies differ.
Advertising and cookies
The site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google’s Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies at aboutads.info.
- Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Third-party ad servers and networks may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to measure ad performance and to show relevant ads. We don’t control these cookies, and their use is governed by the vendors’ own privacy policies.
Your consent choices (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you’ll be asked for consent before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used. This message is provided by Google’s consent management platform, which is certified under the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. Until you choose, Google’s Consent Mode is set to deny ad storage and personalisation. You can change your choice at any time using the “Privacy choices” link in the footer. If you decline, you may still see non-personalised ads, which use cookies only for purposes such as frequency capping and fraud prevention, where permitted.
US state privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for targeted advertising. You can do this through Google’s Ads Settings, through your browser’s Global Privacy Control signal where supported, or by contacting us.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data such as IP addresses and request logs to deliver pages and protect against abuse. We don’t use any separate analytics or tracking scripts.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them.
Your rights and contact
Because we don’t collect personal information directly, there is usually nothing for us to access or delete. For data held by Google in connection with ads, use Google’s tools linked above. For any question about this policy, email zayn.yousef.b@gmail.com.
Changes
We’ll update this page if anything changes and revise the date at the top.
