We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service").
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our Service.
We collect information that you voluntarily provide when using our Service, including:
When you use our Service, we may automatically collect certain information, including:
When you use our receipt scanning feature, we process images of receipts to extract text and data. These images are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers. Once the text extraction is complete, the images are immediately discarded. Only the extracted text and structured data (merchant name, date, items, etc.) are stored in your account.
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
We use third-party services to help us operate and improve our Service. These services may collect, process, and store your information on our behalf. The third-party services we use include:
We use Google Firebase for various services, including:
Firebase's privacy practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
We use Google Cloud Vision API for optical character recognition (OCR) to extract text from receipt images. Receipt images are sent to Google Cloud Vision API for processing but are not stored by Google or by us after processing is complete. Google Cloud Vision API's privacy practices are governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
We use OpenAI's API to parse and categorize receipt text data and to generate financial insights. Only the extracted text (not images) is sent to OpenAI for processing. OpenAI's privacy practices are governed by the OpenAI Privacy Policy.
We use Expo for app development and to provide certain features. Expo's privacy practices are governed by the Expo Privacy Policy.
Your data is stored in Firebase Firestore, a cloud-hosted database. Receipt images are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers or by our third-party service providers. Only the extracted text and structured data (merchant name, date, items, etc.) are stored in your account.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide you with the Service and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information, unless we are legally required to retain it.

If you believe we have collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us.
Your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. By using our Service, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries.
We take steps to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection in the countries in which we process it, including through appropriate contractual safeguards.
