This is the Privacy Policy for the Fair mobile application published by Sovbevy (“we”, “us”). It explains how we access, collect, use, share, retain, and delete personal and sensitive user data when you use Fair for trip planning, activities, chat, and shared expenses. This policy applies to Fair on Google Play, the Apple App Store, and other app stores.
1. Who we are
- App name: Fair
- Developer / operator: Sovbevy
- Privacy contact: admin@sovbevy.com
- Website: https://sovbevy.com
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use Fair, we may collect:
- Account information such as email address, display name, and profile photo
- Sign-in information from Google, Facebook, or TikTok when you choose those providers (email, name, and profile photo, within the scope you authorize)
- Optional profile details you provide, such as date of birth, gender, and favorite places
- Trip, activity, itinerary, and chat content you create or join
- Shared expense and settlement data, including amounts, payer/payee, and transfer-slip images if you upload them
- Location data you choose for a trip or activity (place name, address, and map coordinates). See section 3
- Photos or videos you choose to capture or upload (profile photo, slips, chat media)
- App usage and diagnostic data needed to operate and secure the service
- A push-notification token if you allow notifications
We do not sell personal data. We do not collect your live or background GPS location. Biometric data used to unlock the app (fingerprint / Face ID) is processed only on your device and is not sent to our servers.
3. Location data
Fair uses location only when you pick a venue for a trip or activity:
- You search for a place or drop a pin on the map. We then store the selected place name, address, and coordinates with that trip or activity
- To show search results, the search text or pin coordinates may be sent to Google Places / Google Geocoding or OpenStreetMap Nominatim
- Other members of the same trip can see the venue you saved
- Fair does not track your live location, does not collect location in the background, and does not use location for advertising
- Setting a location is optional. You can leave venue fields empty
4. Device permissions
The app may ask for these permissions only when a feature needs them:
- Camera and photos / media — take or choose a profile photo, transfer slip, or chat image
- Notifications — send service alerts such as chat or trip updates
- Biometric unlock (fingerprint / Face ID) — optional app lock; biometric templates stay on the device
Fair does not request contacts, SMS, microphone, phone, or background location.
5. How we use information
- Create and manage your account and profile
- Operate trip, activity, chat, and shared-settlement features
- Show relevant trip information to members you share a trip with
- Send necessary service notifications
- Prevent fraud, maintain security, and comply with law
- Diagnose issues and improve app quality
We do not use personal data for advertising, and we do not sell personal data.
6. How we share information
We do not sell your personal data. We share data only as needed to provide the service:
- Other members of a trip you join may see your display name, profile photo, amounts owed or owed to you, transfer status, slips you upload, chat messages, and venue details
- Google — Google Sign-In (if you use it) and Google Places / Geocoding when you search or pick a place
- Meta (Facebook) — if you sign in with Facebook
- TikTok — if you sign in with TikTok
- OpenStreetMap Nominatim — fallback place search or reverse geocoding
- Infrastructure providers that host, store, or deliver the app
- Authorities when required by law
7. Security
We transmit personal and sensitive user data over HTTPS and restrict access to personnel and systems that need it to operate Fair. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
8. Retention
We keep account, trip, chat, and settlement data while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. After we complete an account-deletion request we delete or anonymize associated personal data, except records we must retain for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution reasons.
9. Account and data deletion
Because Fair lets you create an account, you may request deletion of that account and the personal data linked to it. Freezing or disabling an account is not a substitute for deletion.
How to request deletion:
- Email admin@sovbevy.com from the email address on your Fair account, with the subject “Account deletion”
- Include your display name if you remember it
We will delete the account and associated personal data. We aim to complete requests within 30 days and may need to verify that the request comes from the account holder. Some data may be retained where the law requires it, as described in section 8.
10. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data related to your account, and may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, by contacting admin@sovbevy.com.
11. Children
Fair is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Policy changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will appear on this page and in the app with an update date. Continued use after changes means you acknowledge the updated policy.
