Who operates Share

YSHARE (PTY) LTD operates ShareY52 to help adults in a shared house record expenses, calculate who owes whom and record settlements. Privacy requests can be sent to shareadmin@y52.co.za.

Information we use

• Account and security information, including email, username, display name, authentication identifiers, device trust and sign-in events.
• House records, including membership, invitations, roles, expenses, splits, approvals, settlements and activity.
• Optional photos, receipt images, extracted receipt data, avatar prompts and generated images when you choose those features.
• Diagnostic, abuse-prevention and support information needed to operate and protect the service.
• If you enable biometric access, Share stores only an on-device preference. Your device performs the biometric check; Share never receives or stores your face, fingerprint or biometric template.

Receipt scanning and AI avatars

If you scan a receipt, its image and extracted details are processed to suggest entries for you to review. If you request an AI avatar, the photo and any prompt you provide are processed to generate the image. These optional features use Google Cloud services. Share should show you the result for review before it becomes a shared expense or selected profile image.

Sharing and service providers

House members can see the shared records and identities needed to understand their house. Other members do not receive your authentication secrets. Service providers process data for hosting, authentication, storage, email and the optional AI features. Share does not sell personal information or use it for third-party behavioral advertising.

Retention and deletion

An account deletion request stops account access immediately. Final deletion processing is scheduled to begin after seven days and can take longer if a provider is unavailable. Shared expense and settlement history may be kept in anonymized form so other members can understand their balances. We keep personal information only while it is needed to provide and protect the service, resolve support or security issues, or meet a legal obligation. Deleted information may remain for a limited time in protected backups before routine removal. There is no account restoration promise.

Your choices

You can edit account details, decide whether to use optional image features and request account deletion in the app. You can ask about access, correction, objection, restriction or deletion by emailing shareadmin@y52.co.za. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

Age and international processing

ShareY52 is for adults aged 18 or older. Google Cloud and other service providers may process data outside your country. Where applicable law requires it, we use contractual and organizational safeguards for international processing.

Security and complaints

We use access controls, encrypted connections and operational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No online service can promise absolute security. Contact shareadmin@y52.co.za first so we can investigate a concern. You may also complain to the data protection authority responsible for your location, including South Africa's Information Regulator where applicable.
