Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026
Togé is built to run entirely on your own device. Your trips, expenses, and members live in a local database that never leaves your phone unless you choose to sign in with Google to keep a backup, or turn on Live Sync to share a trip with your group. This page explains exactly what happens in each case.

1. What Togé stores on your device

Everything you enter — trip names, expenses, amounts, members, notes, and settlements — is stored locally on your device. This data is never sent to us. We have no server that receives it, and no way to see it.

2. Signing in with Google

Sign in with Google to back up your trips to your own Google Drive. Signing in requests three things from your Google account:

  • Your email address — shown in the app so you know which account is connected.
  • Basic profile information — used only to identify your account, nothing more.
  • A private, app-only folder in your Google Drive (Google calls this the AppData folder) — this is where your backup is stored. It's invisible in your normal Drive, isn't shared with anyone, and no other app — including ours, from any other device — can read it without your sign-in.

You can disconnect your Google account at any time from Togé's Settings. Disconnecting stops future backups; it does not delete a backup already saved to your Drive. You can remove that backup yourself through your Google Account's connected-apps settings, or contact us and we'll walk you through it.

3. Backing up and restoring your trips

Once you're signed in, Togé can save a copy of your trips to that private Drive folder — either when you tap "Back up now," or automatically in the background so you always have a recent copy. If you ever set up Togé on a new phone and sign in with the same Google account, Togé will offer to restore that backup. We never restore over a phone that already has trip data on it without asking first.

4. Sharing a trip with your group (Live Sync)

Togé lets a group stay in sync on a shared trip two ways: scanning a QR code in person, or turning on Live Sync to keep everyone updated automatically over the internet. When Live Sync is on, your trip's expense data is encrypted on your device, then sent to a small number of public relay servers so other members of your trip can receive it. Those servers only ever see encrypted, unreadable data — never your actual trip details. Live Sync is entirely your choice, trip by trip.

5. Currency conversion

To show converted amounts across currencies, Togé occasionally checks a public exchange-rate service over the internet. This only ever sends a request for current rates — never any of your personal or trip information.

6. Sharing a trip summary

Togé can generate a shareable image or PDF summarizing a trip's expenses and settlement. This is created entirely on your device. If you choose to share it — by message, email, or any other method — that action is yours, through your phone's own share function. We have no visibility into who you send it to.

7. Children's privacy

Togé does not knowingly collect information from children under the age of 13, or the relevant minimum age in your region. The app itself collects nothing beyond what's described above, and Google Sign-In is subject to Google's own account age requirements.

8. Data security

Data on your device is only as secure as your device itself — we recommend using your phone's passcode, biometric lock, or encryption. Data you choose to back up is protected by Google's own account security once it reaches your Drive.

9. Third-party services we use

  • Google Sign-In & Google Drive — for optional backup, described in Sections 2 and 3.
  • Nostr relay servers — for Live Sync, described in Section 4.
  • A public exchange-rate API — for currency conversion, described in Section 5.

Togé does not use advertising networks, analytics platforms, or tracking SDKs of any kind.

10. Your rights and choices

You are always in control of your data. You can clear or delete any trip directly in the app, disconnect your Google account at any time, and turn Live Sync on or off per trip. Because we hold no data on our own servers, there is nothing for us to access, export, or delete on your behalf beyond what's already described above.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. We'll always aim to describe exactly what the app does at the time you're reading this — not a generic template.
