Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

🔒 Rowta is privacy-first. We collect only what's needed to make the app work. We never sell your data.

Introduction

Rowta ("we", "our", "us") is operated by Sett & Stone Ltd. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

Data you provide

Account credentials (via Sign in with Apple or Google — we never see your password)
Display name
Trip data: names, dates, stop locations, expenses, notes

Location data

We store locations only when you explicitly add a stop to a trip
We do not track your location in the background
We do not collect GPS data continuously
Map searches are processed by Apple MapKit on your device

Automatically collected

Anonymised usage analytics (e.g. "trip created", "expense added" — no personal details)
Crash reports
Device type and iOS version

How We Use Your Data

To store and sync your trips across devices
To enable trip sharing with people you invite
To calculate expense splits and balances
To improve the app (using anonymised, aggregated data only)

Trip Sharing

When you share a trip with others:

They can see all trip stops, expenses, and member details
They can add and edit stops and expenses
You (the trip owner) can remove members at any time
Sharing is always initiated by you — we never share your trips without your action

Data Storage

Trip data is stored locally on your device (SwiftData) and optionally synced to our cloud (Cloudflare D1)
All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3)
You can use Rowta entirely offline — cloud sync is optional
You can delete your account and all cloud data at any time

Third-Party Services

Cloudflare Workers + D1 — Cloud sync and API. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
PostHog — Anonymised analytics, EU-hosted. See PostHog's privacy policy.
Apple MapKit — Map search, processed on-device.

Your Rights

Under GDPR and UK data protection law, you have the right to:

Access your personal data
Correct inaccurate data
Delete your account and all data
Export your data
