1 Information We Collect

We collect and process the receipt images you scan using our app. These images are temporarily stored on our servers for OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing to extract receipt data such as merchant name, date, amount, and line items.

OCR-Extracted Data

After processing your receipt images, we extract and store text data including merchant names, purchase amounts, dates, categories, and line items. This data is stored locally on your device and optionally synced to your iCloud account if you enable cloud backup.

Usage Analytics

We collect anonymous usage data to improve our app, including:

Number of receipts scanned

App performance metrics
Crash reports

Location Data

We may optionally collect approximate location data (city/country level only) to categorize receipts by location and provide location-based insights. This feature is optional and can be disabled in app settings.
