Privacy Policy
The short version: Settled doesn't collect your data. Receipts are read on your device, your splits are stored on your device, and we have no servers receiving anything about you.
Who we are
Settled is developed and operated by Foundry Apps ("we", "us"). If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at owner@foundryapps.net.
What Settled does with your data
Settled helps you split restaurant bills. Here is everything it touches, and where that data lives:
- Receipt photos — processed entirely on your device using Apple's on-device text recognition and Apple Intelligence. Photos are never uploaded anywhere. If you choose to keep a receipt photo with a split, it is stored locally on your device only.
- Splits, items, and names — the people and amounts you enter are stored locally on your device in the app's private database. They are not transmitted to us or anyone else.
- Shared breakdowns — when you tap Share, the text you send goes through Apple's standard share sheet to the app you choose (Messages, WhatsApp, etc.). That message is between you and its recipient; we never see it.
What we don't do
- No account or sign-up is required, and none exists.
- No analytics, tracking, or advertising SDKs are included in the app.
- No data is sold, shared, or transferred to third parties — we have nothing to sell or share.
- No data leaves your device as part of normal use of the app.
Tips
Settled offers optional tips as in-app purchases. These are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive no payment details — Apple provides us only anonymous, aggregated sales reporting. Apple's handling of your payment information is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Permissions
- Camera — used only when you choose to scan a receipt. Images are processed on-device.
- Photo library — used only when you choose to import an existing receipt photo.
Both permissions are optional; you can enter bills manually without granting either.
Data retention and deletion
Because your data is stored only on your device, you are in full control of it. Deleting a split in the app deletes it permanently. Deleting the app removes all of its data. We hold nothing to delete on our side.
Children
Settled does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information at all.
Future features
If we introduce features that involve our servers (for example, optional payment links or cross-device sync), those features will be opt-in, this policy will be updated before they launch, and the in-app experience will make clear what data is involved at the point you choose to use them.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address with a revised date at the top.
