4. Legal Basis for Processing

5. Sharing of Data
GangPay does not sell personal data. Personal data may be shared only with:
- Other members of the same expense group, where required by the service
- Technology service providers supporting app infrastructure
- Analytics, hosting, cloud, security, or notification providers
- Legal authorities where required by law
6. Group Visibility
Information entered into a group, tab, or expense list may be visible to other members of that group. Users should avoid entering sensitive information into shared fields, descriptions, images, or receipts unless they are comfortable sharing it with the group.
7. Data Storage and Security
GangPay applies reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. However, no digital platform can guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to provide the GangPay service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and maintain business records. Users may request deletion of their account and associated personal data, subject to legal and operational limitations.
9. User Rights
Depending on applicable law, users may have the right to:
- Access their personal data
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of personal data
- Object to certain data processing activities
- Restrict processing of personal data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request data portability
10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
GangPay may use cookies, SDKs, analytics tools, or similar technologies to improve functionality, measure app usage, detect errors, and enhance security. Users may manage permissions through device or app settings where available.
11. Advertising
GangPay is free and shows banner ads provided by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland; Google LLC elsewhere).
All ads in GangPay are non-personalized. They are not based on a profile of your interests or on your activity in other apps or websites. They may be chosen using general context, such as the app itself, your approximate location (country or city, derived from your IP address) and the time of day.
To deliver ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance and prevent fraud, Google's advertising software in the app may collect:
- your IP address;
- device and app information, such as the device model, operating system, app version and language;
- device identifiers, such as the advertising ID;
- ad interaction data, such as which ads were shown and whether you tapped them.
We do not share your name, email address, phone number, groups, expenses or any other content you enter in GangPay with Google or any other advertising partner.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent message before ads are loaded. Elsewhere, we rely on our legitimate interest in keeping GangPay free. You can review or change your choice at any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices.
GangPay does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies and therefore does not ask for tracking permission on iOS.
Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. To learn more, see “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
12. Push Notifications
GangPay may send push notifications related to expenses, group activity, reminders, settlements, security alerts, or product updates. Users can manage notification permissions from their device settings.
13. Children’s Privacy
GangPay is not intended for use by children under the minimum age required by applicable law. GangPay does not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate consent.
14. International Data Transfers
Personal data may be processed or stored in countries other than the user’s country of residence. Where required, GangPay applies appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.
15. Third-Party Services
GangPay may contain links or integrations with third-party services. GangPay is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party platforms. Users should review third-party privacy policies separately.
16. Changes to This Policy
GangPay may update this policy from time to time. Updated versions will be made available within the app or on the GangPay website. Continued use of the service after an update means the user accepts the revised policy.
