Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 21, 2026
FairTally respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website, beta signup, and the FairTally app (the “Service”). FairTally is operated as a sole proprietorship—one person building a tool for shared expense tracking.
1. Who we are
FairTally is a product for financial harmony in modern relationships: track shared expenses and split costs in ways that feel fair. We offer a website (with beta signup) and an app where you can create an account and manage your expenses.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
- Email address (website / beta). When you sign up for our beta or early access on our website, we collect the email address you submit. We use it to add you to our waitlist and to contact you about FairTally (e.g., product updates and beta access). We do not use it for marketing unrelated to FairTally unless you consent.
- Email address (app account). When you create a FairTally account, we collect your email address so you can log in and access the app. We use it to authenticate you, manage your account, and communicate with you about your account and the service.
- App data. When you use the FairTally app, we store the data you create—such as expenses, splits, and other information you add—so the app can work for you and your partners. This data is tied to your account.
Information collected automatically
- Log and usage data. Our infrastructure providers (e.g., Cloudflare) may automatically collect data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and timestamps when you visit our site or submit the form. This supports security, availability, and debugging.
- Font requests. Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests those resources, Google may receive your IP address and other standard request data. Google’s practices are described in Google’s Privacy Policy.
We do not use cookies, analytics scripts, or third-party advertising on our current website.
3. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Add you to our beta/waitlist and communicate with you about FairTally (e.g., launch and product updates).
- Provide the FairTally app: let you create an account, log in with your email, and use the app to track and split expenses.
- Store and sync your app data (expenses, splits, and related information) so the service works for you.
- Run and secure the service (we use a few trusted providers to host things).
- Comply with law when required.
4. How we share your information
We do not sell your information. We use a few providers to run the service (e.g., Cloudflare and Notion for the website signup; hosting for the app). They process data only to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect safety or rights.
Providers that may process your data: Cloudflare, Notion, Google Fonts.
5. Account and data deletion
You can delete your FairTally account at any time. When you delete your account, we delete all data associated with it—including your email, login credentials, and all expense and split data you created. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.
How to delete your account: use the account or settings area in the FairTally app to delete your account, or contact us at the email below and we will process your request.
We do not retain your app data after account deletion except where we must keep it for legal, security, or regulatory reasons (e.g., fraud prevention or legal hold).
6. Data retention
Website / beta signup: The beta signup database is retained only until the beta period ends. Once the full FairTally app is released, we will delete the email data from that database. Until then, we keep your email and associated signup data to manage the beta list and communicate with you about FairTally. You may also ask us to delete your data at any time, and we will do so within a reasonable time, except where we must retain it for legal or safety reasons.
App account: We keep your account and app data until you delete your account (see section 5) or ask us to delete it. After account deletion, we do not retain your personal or app data except as described above.
7. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Our website and app use HTTPS (TLS) so data in transit is encrypted. We collect only the information necessary to provide the service (e.g., email for signup and login, and the app data you create) and do not expose API keys or other secrets in the browser.
8. Your rights and choices
You can access, correct, or delete your data at any time. Delete your account in the app (section 5) or email us. You can also unsubscribe from emails via the link in any message or by replying and asking to be removed.
If you’re in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on your consent and legitimate interests to run the service; you can withdraw consent or complain to your data protection authority. If you’re in California, we don’t sell your data; you may have additional rights—contact us to exercise them.
9. Children
The service is not for anyone under 18. We don’t knowingly collect data from minors; if you think we have, contact us and we’ll delete it.
10. International transfers
Data may be processed in the US or elsewhere by our providers. Where the law requires it, we use appropriate safeguards for those transfers.
11. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version is on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. If we make a material change, we may notify you by email or a notice on the site. Using the service after that means you accept the update.
