Splitte - Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Mango Labs ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the Splitte mobile application ("App"). Splitte is free to use.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Bills, bill items, participants, and item assignments
