Privacy policy

Last updated 20 October 2026

Blit splits restaurant bills. This page explains what we collect when you use this website or the Blit app (on your phone or in the browser at useblit.app), why, who helps us run it, and the choices you have. It describes only what Blit actually does.

Who we are

Blit is made by AVELON STUDIO S.R.L., a company registered in Romania. We are responsible for your data (the data controller). For any privacy question or request, email [email protected].

This website and the waitlist

This website sets no cookies and has no ads or tracking. Its fonts, images and video come from our own site. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and doesn't identify you: it counts page views, which pages, the country and the kind of device and browser.

If you join the early access list, your browser sends your email address to our database, where we keep it with the time you joined. We use it only to tell you when Blit is out. We do this with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time: email us and we'll delete your address.

The Blit app

Your account

You can use Blit with an account or as a guest.

People in your rooms see your name, but not your email address. If you sign in with an email code without giving a name, your name starts as the part of your address before the @, and you can change it in the app at any time. A few people at Blit can see account details, such as your name, email address and how many rooms you're in, to run the service and handle misuse, and we keep a record of any change they make to an account.

Rooms and bills

When you host or join a room, we store what's needed to split the bill: the room's name and code, the items with their prices and quantities, service, tax and any discount, who is in the room, who claimed what, how the charges are split, and the result of any game played for a charge.

When the host settles a room, we store each person's share and its payment marks: whether you marked it paid, how (cash, bank transfer, Revolut or another way), and whether the host confirmed it. Blit never handles the money itself.

Everyone in a room sees its items, who claimed what and each person's share. Payment marks are seen only by the person who owes and the host.

If the host links a room to a partner restaurant, settling it adds a visit to that restaurant's stamp card for each person in the room. The restaurant's staff can see the visits and rewards on its card, but not your name or email address.

Partner restaurants also see statistics about the tables that used Blit there, such as how many tables and people, bill sizes, the busiest hours and the most split dishes. They only ever see totals with at least five people behind them, never who you are, your stamp card or how your group split the bill.

Reading receipts

When a host scans a receipt, Blit can read it online. The app asks before it sends your first photo, and you can stop it any time under Receipt reading in your account. Without it, you add the items by hand. Reading needs an account; guests can't scan.

The photos go through our server to Anthropic, whose AI model, Claude, reads them and sends back the items and amounts. Anthropic does this for us as our service provider. Blit doesn't store or log the photos. The items you keep become the room's items.

For each read we keep a short record: who asked, when, which model read it, how much work that took (counted in tokens) and whether it worked. We use it for the daily reading limit and to keep track of our costs.

For each scan we also keep how long it took, how many photos it had and their size, your phone's time zone offset (such as UTC+3, not where you are), the date and time printed on the receipt, whether the reading matched the receipt's total and, once you've checked the items, how many you kept, changed, removed or added. It holds nothing else from the receipt. We use it to measure and improve receipt reading.

On your device

The app keeps you signed in by storing your session on your phone, or in your browser's storage for the web app, along with a few settings, such as whether you allowed receipt reading. Blit has no ads and doesn't track you across apps or websites.

Usage statistics

To learn how Blit is used and where it's hard to use, the app sends a few anonymous events, such as opening the scan screen, joining a room or signing in, with the kind of phone (such as iPhone16,1), its system version, the app's version, your language and your time zone offset. They're tied to a random number the app makes when it opens and forgets when it closes, never to your account, so we can't tell who sent them.

From the data described above, we also count totals, such as how many bills are settled or how long receipts take to read. A few people at Blit can see these totals, never one person's activity, and we leave our own test accounts out of them.

Crash reports

When the Blit app on your phone crashes or hits an unexpected error, it sends a report to Sentry: what went wrong and where in the app, the app's version, the kind of phone and its system version, and your language and time zone. Reports never include your name, email address or account, and addresses, codes and links that could identify you are masked before they leave the phone. For crashes an iPhone reports itself, Sentry may also note the approximate city, worked out from the connection; it doesn't keep the address. The web app sends no crash reports.

Why we use your data

Who helps us run Blit

We use a few service providers, who handle data only to run Blit for us:

Some of these providers may process data outside the EU, including in the United States.

We don't sell your data, share it for advertising or show ads.

How long we keep it

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct or delete it, to limit or object to how we use it, or to receive it in a form you can take elsewhere. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Email [email protected] and we'll reply within a month.

If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to Romania's data protection authority, ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro), or to the authority where you live.

Children

Blit isn't meant for children under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has given us data, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes to this policy

When Blit changes what it does with data, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects you, we'll tell you before it takes effect.
