Privacy Policy

What we collect

We keep personal data collection to the minimum needed to split a check:

• A first name you type in, so your group knows whose items are whose.
• Receipt and item details you add or upload (item names, prices, tax, tip) to calculate the split.
• Item selections — which items each person checks off.
• Basic technical data your browser sends automatically (such as device type), used to keep the service working and secure.

We do not require an account, password, address, last name, or any payment information to use Check Please.

How we use it

Your information is used to provide the bill-splitting service — showing items, locking claimed items, and calculating each person's share of the total including tax and tip — and to operate, improve, and secure Check Please.

Aggregated, anonymized insights

Check Please creates aggregated and anonymized insights from the receipts and orders processed through the service — for example, average spend per guest, how often certain items or categories are ordered, busy times of day, or average party size at a venue.

We may share or sell these aggregated, anonymized insights to restaurants and other business partners to help them understand ordering trends and improve their service. These insights are statistical and do not identify you. They are stripped of names and combined across many checks so that no individual person can be picked out.

What we do NOT sell

• We do not sell your personal information (such as your name) to anyone.
• We do not share information that identifies you as an individual with advertisers.
• We do not build advertising profiles about you.

In short: we may sell anonymous, combined trends, never you.

Payments

Check Please does not process payments or move money between people. We only calculate who owes what. Any actual repayment happens directly between you and your group, outside of Check Please.

How long we keep it

Personal bill data (like the first names entered) is kept only as long as needed to let your group finish splitting the check, then removed. Aggregated, anonymized insights — which no longer identify anyone — may be retained and used on an ongoing basis.

Your choices & rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU/UK GDPR.

Because Check Please collects so little personal data and requires no account, there is very little stored about you. To make a request — including asking us not to include your data in any shared insight — just contact us and we'll honor it.

Children

Check Please is intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13.

Changes

If we update this policy, we'll revise the "last updated" date above. Continued use of Check Please means you accept the current version.
