Privacy Policy
Levia is an app for splitting expenses with friends, flatmates and groups. It is made by Evliea ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the Levia app collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. If anything is unclear, write to support@evliea.com.
Information we collect
| What | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Account details: your name, and your email address (email or Google sign-in) and/or phone number (phone sign-in) | To create your account, sign you in, and let friends add you to groups. |
| UPI ID (optional) | Only if you add it. It is shown to group members you settle with so they can pay you. |
| What you record in Levia: groups, members, expenses (descriptions, amounts, who paid, how it is split), settlements, recurring expenses, quick splits and the participant names you type or pick | This is the app. Other members of a group can see the group's expenses and balances. |
| Push notification token for your device | To send you notifications such as group activity and settlement requests. |
| Advertising information collected by Google AdMob, such as your device's advertising ID (where your device allows it), IP address and basic device and app information | To show and measure ads. See "Ads" below. |
Things the app does on your device
- Contacts (only if you allow it): Levia reads your contacts on your device so you can pick someone to split an expense with. We do not upload your address book. If you pick a contact, only that person's name is saved with the split.
- Camera and photos (only if you allow it): used to scan a group's QR code and to read the text on a receipt. Receipt text is recognised on your device; the photo is not uploaded to us.
- Face ID / fingerprint: used only to unlock the app if you turn on App Lock. Your biometric data stays on your device and is never sent to us.
How we use information
- To run Levia: sign you in, keep your groups and balances, and work out who owes whom.
- To send notifications and one-time passcodes (OTP) for phone sign-in.
- To answer support requests and keep the service secure and free of abuse.
- To show ads that help keep Levia free.
We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
- Other Levia users: members of your groups can see your name and the expenses and balances in those groups.
- Service providers that process data for us: Auth0 (sign-in), Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (push notifications), Google AdMob (ads), Message Central and MSG91 (sending the OTP text message), and Amazon Web Services (hosting, in India).
- Legal reasons: where the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
Ads
Levia shows ads served by Google AdMob. Levia does not ask to track you across other companies' apps and websites. On iPhone, ads are therefore not personalised using your advertising ID. On Android you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalisation in your device's Google settings.
How long we keep information, and deleting your account
We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time in the app: Settings → Delete Account. See how account deletion works. When you delete your account, your name, email, phone number, UPI ID, sign-in details, credits and notification tokens are removed. Expenses you shared with other people stay in their groups, shown as "Deleted user", so that other members' balances remain correct. Our database backups may keep deleted data for up to 30 days before it is overwritten.
Security
Traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (HTTPS), and sign-in is handled by Auth0 or by a one-time passcode sent to your phone. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password and keep your device locked.
Your choices and rights
- See and update your name, phone number and UPI ID in the app's profile.
- Turn off notifications, contacts, camera or photo access at any time in your device settings.
- Delete your account in the app, or ask us to by email.
- For any other request about your information, including access or correction, contact support@evliea.com. We will reply within 30 days.
Children
Levia is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
