Receipt · iOS

Privacy Policy

How the Receipt app handles the receipts you scan, the account you create, and the data on your device.

Effective 11 Sep 2026 Applies to Receipt for iOS Version 1.0

The short version

01Who we are

Receipt ("Receipt", "we", "us", or "the app") is an iOS application that lets you photograph receipts, automatically read their details, and organize your expenses. This policy explains what information the app collects, why, and the choices you have.

The app is operated by [Your legal name / company], based in [Country]. For anything in this policy, contact us at [support@yourdomain.com].

02Information we collect

We only collect what the app needs to work. That falls into a few groups:

  • Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address and a securely hashed password, so you can sign in and access your receipts across sessions.
  • Receipt data you add. The details of receipts you scan or enter — merchant name, date, subtotal, tax/VAT, total, spending category, and currency. Category selections map to standard accounting accounts to help with bookkeeping.
  • Receipt photos. Images you capture with the camera or choose from your photo library and attach to a receipt.
  • Your display name. An optional nickname you can set. This is stored only on your device and isn't sent to our servers.
  • Subscription status. Whether you have an active Receipt Pro subscription. Apple reports this to the app; Apple, not us, processes the purchase.
  • Basic technical data. Standard information needed to deliver the service securely, such as connection and error information handled by our hosting provider.

Receipt does not ask for or store your payment card numbers, bank account details, or government identifiers.

03How we use your information

We use the information above to:

  • Read receipts you photograph and fill in their fields for you to review.
  • Store and sync your receipts so they're available when you sign in.
  • Calculate your spending, tax totals, budgets, and monthly summaries.
  • Provide and unlock Receipt Pro features for subscribers.
  • Keep the service secure, diagnose problems, and prevent abuse.

We do not use your receipts or account to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.

04On-device scanning

When you photograph a receipt, the text is read using Apple's on-device text-recognition technology (the Vision framework) that runs directly on your iPhone. The image is not uploaded to a third-party service to be analyzed, and the reading works without an internet connection.

Once you approve a receipt, its details and — if you choose to keep the photo — the image are saved to your account so they sync and back up. If you only save a draft locally, that data stays in the app's on-device cache.

05How your data is stored and shared

Your account and receipts are stored on our behalf by the service providers below. We share information with them only to run the app — never for their own marketing.

  • Supabase — our backend provider, which hosts your account, receipt records, and receipt photos, and handles sign-in. Access is protected so that each account can only reach its own data.
  • Apple — processes Receipt Pro purchases through the App Store and manages subscriptions. Payment details are handled entirely by Apple under Apple's privacy policy; we receive only your subscription status.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the service. If the app is ever involved in a merger or acquisition, we will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

A copy of your receipts is also cached on your device so the app works offline. Removing the app, or using Reset inside the app, clears that local copy.

06Data retention and deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You are in control of removing it:

  • Reset — from Settings, clears your receipts and sets every metric back to zero, while keeping your account.
  • Delete Account — from Settings, permanently deletes your account, all your receipt records, and every stored receipt photo. This cannot be undone.

When you delete your account, your data is removed from our systems. Backups and logs that may contain data are cycled out on a rolling basis and are not used to restore deleted accounts.

07Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live — including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Norway — you have rights over your personal data. These include the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, export a copy, and to object to or restrict certain processing.

You can exercise most of these directly in the app: view and edit your receipts at any time, and delete everything with Delete Account. For anything else, contact us at [support@yourdomain.com] and we'll respond within the timeframe required by law.

Our legal basis for processing your data is the performance of our contract with you (providing the app), your consent (for camera and photo access), and our legitimate interest in keeping the service secure. You may withdraw consent at any time in your device's Settings. If you're in the EEA or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority — in Norway, that is Datatilsynet.

08Security

We protect your information with industry-standard measures: data is encrypted in transit using HTTPS, passwords are stored only in hashed form, and access controls ensure each account can reach only its own receipts. No method of transmission or storage is ever completely secure, so while we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Keep your password private, and contact us if you believe your account has been compromised.

09Children's privacy

Receipt is intended for people managing their own expenses and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under [16]. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10International data transfers

Your information may be stored and processed on servers located in [region — confirm your Supabase project region], which may be outside your country of residence. Where data is transferred across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards — such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses — to protect it in line with applicable law.

11Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app evolves. When we do, we'll revise the "Effective" date above, and for material changes we'll notify you within the app before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Receipt after an update means you accept the revised policy.
