Introduction

Welcome to Rent Splitter. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our rent splitting calculator.

Information We Collect

Rent Splitter operates as a client-side application. We collect the following types of information:

Calculation Data: When you use the calculator, data such as rent amounts, roommate information, income, and room sizes is processed locally in your browser.
Shared Links: If you generate a shareable link, the calculation data is encoded in the URL. This data exists only in the URL and is not stored on our servers.
Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our service (if analytics are enabled).

How We Use Your Information

All calculations are performed locally in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or have access to your personal financial information. Shareable links contain encoded data in the URL, which you control - anyone with the link can access the encoded data.

Data Storage

Rent Splitter does not store your calculation data on any server. All data processing happens in your browser. Shareable links contain data in the URL itself, which means the data only exists where you share it.

Third-Party Services

Rent Splitter may use third-party services for hosting and analytics. These services may collect anonymous usage data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not share your personal calculation data with third parties.

Chatbot Feature

Our AI chatbot feature uses the Groq API (Llama 3.1 model). Messages you send to the chatbot are processed by Groq's service to generate responses. We do not store your chat history, but please be mindful of the information you share in chat messages.

Cookies and Tracking

Rent Splitter uses minimal cookies, primarily for essential functionality. We do not use cookies for advertising or extensive tracking purposes.

Your Rights

Since we do not store your personal data, you have full control over your information. You can:

Clear your browser data at any time to remove any locally stored information
Choose not to use shareable links if you prefer not to encode data in URLs
Stop using the service at any time

Security

While we strive to protect your information, please remember that shareable links contain your data in the URL. Only share these links with trusted parties. Be cautious about sharing links in public forums or social media.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
