Effective July 12, 2026
Privacy policy.
This policy explains what Cuenta collects when you scan, share, or join a bill, and what we do with that information.
Information we collect
- Bill and receipt information. Receipt images, restaurant details, dates, items, prices, tax, tip, fees, discounts, and the resulting split.
- Participant information. The display name, initials, and color used on a bill; item selections; payment status; and an optional Venmo username for the person who paid.
- Access and technical information. Bill-specific access tokens and a necessary cookie that lets the web experience remember your participation. Our infrastructure providers may also process standard network information such as IP address, browser type, device type, and request logs to operate and secure the service.
Cuenta does not require a permanent account for someone joining a shared bill. We do not currently collect phone numbers through the guest web flow.
How we use information
We use this information to read receipts, calculate each person’s portion, keep a shared bill in sync, prepare payment handoffs, restore access to a bill, prevent misuse, troubleshoot problems, and respond to support or privacy requests.
We do not sell personal information. We do not use bill information for targeted advertising, and the public landing page does not load an advertising or cross-site tracking service.
When information is shared
- With people on the same bill. Participants can see information needed to split the receipt, including participant names, item selections, receipt details, and bill status.
- With service providers. Cuenta uses Cloudflare for hosting, storage, database, security, and real-time updates. Cuenta uses OpenAI to process receipt images and return structured receipt information. These providers process information to provide services to Cuenta and maintain their own privacy and security commitments.
- With Venmo at your direction. When you choose to pay, Cuenta opens Venmo with the recipient, amount, and note filled in. You review and send the payment. Venmo’s own privacy policy applies to its service.
- For legal or safety reasons. We may disclose information if required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect Cuenta, our users, or others.
Retention and deletion
Bill records and receipt images are kept while the bill is available and for as long as reasonably needed to operate, secure, and support Cuenta. Limited records may be retained longer when required for legal, fraud-prevention, or security purposes.
Cuenta currently uses bill-specific access instead of permanent guest accounts, so deletion requests are handled by email. To request access, correction, or deletion, email privacy@trycuenta.app and include the bill link or short code needed to locate the record. Do not email payment credentials or other sensitive financial information.
Security
We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect Cuenta data, including scoped access credentials and restricted receipt-image access. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Children
Cuenta is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as Cuenta changes. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date.
