How long data stays

Split keeps nothing longer than needed. It clears inactive groups and receipts after fixed periods – with notice and the option to keep a group.

Step by step

1. 1

   Receipts

   Without Premium, Split deletes the receipt photos from the server after 90 days without activity – after 14 days if everything is settled. With Premium they stay for 24 months after the last activity. The expenses stay, and so do copies on your devices.

2. 2

   Dormant groups

   If everything is settled and nothing happens for 120 days, the group becomes dormant. It stays readable, and Split announces the deletion.

3. 3

   Deletion

   After another 30 days the dormant group is deleted for good.

4. 4

   Keep a group

   If a deletion is coming up, you see it under “Premium for this group”. Tap “Keep group” there – or simply add a new entry. Both reset the periods.
