TipBright: Tip & Split Bill — Privacy Policy

Information stored on your device

TipBright performs bill calculations on your device. Saved bills and templates may contain the subtotal, tax and tip rates, split details, currency, date, and optional restaurant name or note. Templates stay on your device and are not included in cloud sync.

Account and purchases

Sign in with Apple is optional. If you choose it, TipBright receives an Apple account identifier and may receive the email address you authorize Apple to share. The service uses this information to create and secure your account. Your sign-in token is stored in the device keychain. Apple processes authentication and App Store purchases under Apple's own privacy terms.

App Store purchases

TipBright offers optional auto-renewable subscriptions through the App Store. When you buy, upgrade, or restore a subscription, the app sends Apple's signed transaction data to TipBright's server, which is hosted on Cloudflare, to verify it and turn on the matching access. This happens whether or not you sign in. We store transaction and subscription identifiers, the product, purchase and expiry dates, subscription status, and the App Store environment. We receive renewal, cancellation, and refund notices from Apple to keep your access accurate. We do not receive your payment card or Apple Account password. Deleting your account does not cancel your subscription and does not delete these purchase records. They are kept without your sign-in so the purchase keeps working on your devices, for as long as needed to support it and to meet accounting or legal duties. To stop billing, cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Pro cloud sync

When you sign in with Apple and have Pro cloud-sync access, TipBright automatically sends bill history, including calculation details and optional restaurant names or notes, to its Cloudflare-hosted service and associates it with your account for syncing across your devices. Deleting a record syncs that deletion. If Pro access expires, previously synced copies are not automatically deleted. You can request deletion of your account and associated server data from the membership screen. Account deletion removes your account mapping, synced bills, and subscription linkage; limited security and service audit records may remain for up to 365 days, and processed Apple notification records for up to 180 days. Local records remain on your device until you delete them, clear app data, or remove the app.

Receipt scanning and permissions

If you use receipt scanning, the selected or captured image is processed on your device to recognize text and is not uploaded to a server by TipBright. If you save a bill made from a scanned receipt, the photo is kept only on your device, is not included in cloud sync, and is deleted when you delete that bill. Camera access is used only when you choose to take a receipt photo; photo library access is used only when you choose an image. To enforce the number of scans your plan includes, TipBright keeps a count of scans used (a number only, with no images or text) in the app's storage, in the device keychain, and in iCloud key-value storage if iCloud is available. The keychain and iCloud copies can remain after you delete the app, so reinstalling does not reset the count. TipBright also sends this number with a device token created by Apple DeviceCheck to its Cloudflare-hosted service, which passes it to Apple so the count is kept against your device and survives a wiped phone or a new Apple Account. TipBright does not store the token and does not link the count to your account.

Advertising

The Free plan shows banner ads provided by Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK. The SDK may collect your IP address (which can be used to estimate general location), device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. Depending on your location, device settings, consent choices, and ad configuration, Google may use this information to deliver and measure ads, prevent fraud, and improve its services.

Which ads are requested depends on your choice in the privacy consent form, which TipBright shows through Google's User Messaging Platform where required. If you consent, TipBright may request personalized ads. If you decline, Google serves non-personalized or limited ads. Until you complete the required privacy choice, TipBright does not request ads. On iOS, personalized ads may also ask for your permission through Apple's tracking prompt. If you decline it, TipBright does not use the advertising identifier for tracking. Where required, the app provides a privacy options form so you can change your choice later.

Pro and Ad-Free subscribers do not receive ad requests. Google processes information under its own privacy policy.

Fonts

TipBright downloads its text fonts from Google Fonts when the app first needs them, so Google may receive your IP address and standard request information for that download.

Service providers and tracking

TipBright uses Apple for sign-in and App Store purchases, Cloudflare to host account, purchase-verification, and optional sync services, and Google for advertising and fonts. TipBright does not use its own analytics or crash-reporting services. Apart from the advertising described above, TipBright does not track you across other companies' apps and websites.

Your choices and rights

You can change your advertising choice through the app's privacy options form where it is shown, and your tracking permission in iOS Settings. You can delete local data by removing the app, and you can request deletion of your account and server data from the membership screen. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. Contact us at contact@nebulatechapps.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Children

TipBright is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Security

TipBright uses encrypted network connections and stores the sign-in token in the device keychain. No security measure can guarantee absolute security. This policy may be updated as the app's features change.
