Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

Forked splits restaurant bills from a photo of the receipt. We collect as little as possible and keep card data off the wire entirely.

What we process, and where

Data	Where it lives	Why
Receipt photo	On your device, then sent to a no-training AI parser to read line items — not persisted	Re-encoded, EXIF/GPS stripped, and sensitive regions (card numbers, gift-card PINs, signatures) redacted on your device before the prepared image is sent for parsing. Not stored unless you explicitly opt in to keep a copy.
Extracted receipt fields (items, tax, tip, totals)	Our database (Supabase)	Run the split and the claim links.
Names you type for participants	Our database	Show who owes what. Participants don't need accounts.
Account email (optional)	Our database / auth provider	Sign-in, split history. Accounts are optional.
Payment preferences you enter (e.g. e-Transfer email)	Our database	Shown to people who owe you so they can pay you back.

What we never do

• We never see or store card numbers: standard receipts are truncated by law, and the on-device sanitize pass redacts card/gift-card/signature regions before the prepared image leaves your phone.
• We never send receipts to free AI tiers. Cloud parsing uses a paid endpoint with no-training terms — and because sensitive regions are redacted on your device first, the parser never receives them. The provider's short-lived abuse-monitoring logs are automatically deleted within 7 days.
• We do not sell data, show ads, or use third-party tracking/analytics SDKs that profile you. Crash reporting is anonymized.

Sharing links

Split links (tryforked.app/s/…) use unguessable tokens. A link shows a participant only their own items and share — never other people's itemized breakdowns. Only the organizer can edit a split.

Your controls

• Camera & photos: used only when you capture or pick a receipt; you can revoke access in system settings at any time.
• Delete account & data: Profile → "Delete account & data" permanently removes your account, splits, items, participants, and preferences. Shared links stop working. See how to delete your account.
• Guests: if you never create an account, your participation is keyed only to the name the organizer typed.
