Privacy

Updated: September 2026

Pooly respects your privacy. This policy explains which data we process through the Pooly app and the pooly.info website, why, and what your rights are under the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act.

Data controller

Pooly SAS — 12 rue de l’Exemple, 75000 Paris, France — contact@pooly.info.

Data we collect

  • Account: name, email, phone number (optional), photo (optional), date of birth.
  • Groups: members, group photo, expenses, comments, governance settings.
  • Payments: amounts, dates, statuses and Stripe identifiers — never the full card number.
  • Premium cards: status, Stripe Issuing identifiers, limits and card payment history. Identity verification is performed by Stripe; Pooly does not keep copies of your ID documents.
  • Technical data: security logs and a hashed IP fingerprint.
  • Website: anonymous session ID (localStorage), pages viewed, time, approximate country, referrer and simplified device type.

Purposes and legal bases

  • Providing the service — performance of the contract.
  • Processing payments and issuing Premium cards — performance of the contract and legal obligations (anti-money-laundering checks carried out by Stripe).
  • Security and fraud prevention — legitimate interest.
  • Support and answering contact requests — legitimate interest.
  • Anonymous website audience measurement — legitimate interest.
  • Accounting and tax obligations — legal obligation.

Recipients and processors

  • OVHcloud — hosting of the website, the API and the data (Europe).
  • Stripe — payments, card issuing and identity verification.
  • Resend — transactional emails.
  • Expo (EAS) — app distribution and updates.
  • Apple and Google — app distribution and subscriptions.

We never sell your data.

Transfers outside the EU

Some providers (such as Stripe, Resend or Expo) may process data outside the European Union. These transfers are covered by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.

Retention

  • Account and groups: while the account is in use, then deleted or anonymised within a reasonable time after it is closed.
  • Accounting records and transactions: up to 10 years (legal obligation).
  • Technical logs: 12 months maximum.
  • Website audience: 13 months maximum.
  • Contact requests: 3 years after the last exchange.

Your rights

You can access, rectify, erase, restrict, port or object to the processing of your data, and give instructions about your data after your death. Write to contact@pooly.info; we reply within one month. You can also lodge a complaint with the CNIL (cnil.fr).

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), access to servers is restricted, and full card numbers are never stored by Pooly.

Minors

The service is reserved for people aged 18 and over.

Cookies and audience

The website uses no advertising cookies. A technical identifier stored locally (localStorage) counts visits anonymously, and your language choice is remembered locally. You can clear both from your browser settings.

Changes

We may update this policy. Significant changes will be announced in the app or on this page.
