Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to provide our bill splitting service to you. The information is collected by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent when you add our bot to your Telegram group and interact with it.

a. Data You Provide

• Expense Details: When you add an expense, we collect the description, amount, who paid, and who the expense is shared with.
• Group Information: Our bot has access to the name of your Telegram group and the members within it to function correctly. We access user identifiers to associate expenses with the correct individuals. We do not collect or store any messages from your group chats, except for the commands you issue directly to the bot (e.g., by mentioning @TallycentsBot).

b. Information We Don't Collect

We do not collect sensitive personal financial information such as credit card numbers, bank account details, or personal identification numbers. Tallycents is a tool for tracking and splitting expenses, not for processing payments.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain our bill splitting service.
• Calculate and display balances among members of your group.
• Send periodic reminders to your group about outstanding balances to facilitate settlements.
• Authenticate users to ensure that only members of a group can view and manage its expenses.

3. Data Security

We are committed to protecting your data. We implement security measures to ensure that only authorized members of your Telegram group can access your group's financial data. All interactions with our web interface are authenticated to prevent unauthorized access.

4. Third-Party Services

Our service operates entirely within the Telegram platform. Your use of Tallycents is also subject to Telegram's Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for the data practices of Telegram.

5. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
