Política de privacidad

This Privacy Policy describes how tribefinly (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use our website and services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Information we collect

Account and authentication. When you sign in, we and our authentication providers (e.g. Google Sign-In when enabled) may process identifiers such as your email address, name, and profile identifiers tied to your account.

Content you provide. You may submit data such as group names, expense descriptions, amounts, notes, attachments metadata, and other content needed to operate shared expense features.

Payments/settlement details. If you add optional payment handles (for example UPI ID) to help settle with other members, we store them so your group can use them.

Technical and usage data. We may collect information such as device type, browser type, approximate region from IP address (for security and abuse prevention), timestamps, and diagnostic logs. We may use cookies or similar technologies as described below.

Communications. If you contact us (e.g. support email), we store the content of your message and contact details to respond.

2. How we use information

We use information to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Service (including sync, balances, and collaboration features);
• Authenticate users and maintain sessions securely;
• Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues;
• Communicate with you about the Service (e.g. service-related notices);
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

Where applicable, we rely on legitimate interests (operating and securing the Service), contract performance (providing features you request), consent (where required, e.g. certain cookies or marketing), and legal obligations.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functions (e.g. session security, preferences) and, where applicable, analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. If we use non-essential cookies, we will seek consent where required by law.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may use third-party advertising services such as Google AdSense to display ads. Google and other partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites. You can learn how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps in Google’s Privacy & Terms. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

6. Third-party services

We use infrastructure and service providers (for example hosting, database, authentication, and email delivery). These providers process data only as instructed and under appropriate safeguards. Their use may involve transfers outside your country as described in Section 8.

7. Retention

We retain information as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods may vary by data type and context.

8. Data deletion & access requests

You can request access, export, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us via our Contact page. Please include the email address associated with your account.

8. International transfers

If you access the Service from outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be transferred across borders. We use appropriate safeguards where required (e.g. standard contractual clauses).

9. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent where processing is consent-based. To exercise rights, contact us at the email on our Contact page. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

12. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
