Trip Tally is a simple tool for splitting group trip expenses. This page explains what information the app handles and how.

What information Trip Tally stores

When you use Trip Tally, you enter:

• A trip name
• Names of the people on the trip (whatever you type — no real-identity verification)
• Expense descriptions, amounts, dates, and who paid
• Which currency you're using

That's it. Trip Tally does not ask for your name, email, phone number, or any account to use it — there is no sign-up or login.

Where this information is stored

By default, everything stays only on your device, in your browser's local storage. Nothing leaves your phone unless you explicitly turn on the "Share this trip" feature.

If you choose to share a trip, that trip's data (people, expenses, settle-up status) is synced to a Google Firebase/Firestore database so it can update live across everyone's devices. Anyone who has the shared link can view and edit that trip's data — there is no password or login on shared trips, by design, so your group can jump in easily. Don't share a trip link publicly if you don't want others accessing it.

What Trip Tally does not do

• No accounts, no login, no passwords
• No advertising and no ad tracking
• No analytics or behavioral tracking
• No selling or sharing of your data with third parties for marketing
• No access to your contacts, camera, location, or other device data

Third-party services used

Trip Tally is hosted on Google Firebase. When you share a trip, its data is stored in Google's Cloud Firestore database, subject to Google's Privacy Policy. No other third-party services are used.

Your control over your data

• You can delete any expense or any trip at any time from within the app.
• Deleting a trip removes it from your device. If that trip was shared, deleting it also removes it from Firestore for everyone.
• Since there's no account system, there's no "delete my account" step needed — clearing the app's data or uninstalling it removes everything stored locally.

Children's privacy

Trip Tally is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children. It does not knowingly collect information from children.
