Privacy

What we collect

• Account. Skol creates an anonymous account the first time you use it, identified by a random ID. If you choose to sign in with Google, an email link or a phone number, we also store that email address or phone number.
• Profile. The display name and the Venmo or Cash App handles you enter. Collaborators on your splits can see them.
• Splits. Receipt items, prices, tax and tip, the names of the people you add, who had what, and a history of changes to each split.
• Receipt photos. When you scan a receipt, the photo is sent to our server and passed to Amazon Textract to read the items and prices. Skol keeps a smaller copy of the photo with your split, with location and camera details removed, so you and the split's collaborators can look at it. View links do not show it. It is deleted when the split or your account is deleted.
• Technical logs. Our servers keep standard request logs (such as IP address and time) for up to 30 days to keep the service running and prevent abuse.

How we use it

Only to run Skol: to save your splits, sync them with collaborators, show who owes what, and protect your account. We do not use your data for advertising or share it with anyone for their own purposes.

Who processes it for us

• Google Firebase, for sign-in.
• Amazon Web Services (Textract), to read receipt photos.
• Google Cloud, to store receipt photos.
• Cloudflare, which carries traffic to getskol.com.
• Google Fonts, which serves the fonts used on the website.

Data is encrypted in transit between your device and our servers.

Sharing links

A view link lets anyone who has it see that split, including the names, amounts and payment handles on it. An edit link also lets them change it. Share links only with people you trust. You can reset a link from the split's sharing options, which stops the old one from working.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your account and splits until you delete them. You can delete a split at any time, or delete your whole account from Account, then Delete my account. That removes your profile, the splits you own and their receipt photos, and deletes your sign-in identity. Server backups roll over within 30 days. See Delete your account for details.

You can download a copy of your data from Account, then Export my data, including the receipt photos of the splits you own. An anonymous account lives on one device: if you clear the app's data or uninstall it without signing in, that account cannot be recovered.

Children

Skol is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
