Splits is a demo product, not a commercial service: every account holds fake seeded data, demo accounts are purged daily, and bank linking runs on Plaid's sandbox only. This page explains plainly what the demo stores.
What the demo stores
If you create an account, we store the email on your account, your display name, an optional phone number if you add one to your profile, and the splits and ledger entries you create. The "Try the demo" button creates a disposable account pre-filled entirely with fake, seeded data — fake friends, fake bills, fake balances.
Bank data
Bank linking runs exclusively against Plaid's sandbox environment. Real bank credentials are not accepted and no real financial data ever enters the system. Sandbox access tokens are still encrypted at rest because the code is written as if the data were real — see the security page for how.
No tracking, no selling
There are no ads, no analytics, and your data is never sold. Nothing here is monetized. Two pieces of infrastructure do see data: transactional email (sent only when an email provider is configured, and only about your own account), and error monitoring, which records application errors tagged with an opaque user ID — never your email or ledger contents.
Deletion
You can delete your account any time from Settings. Demo accounts are purged automatically after they expire. Because this is a demo, accounts and their data may also be deleted at any time without notice — don't store anything here you care about.
