ReceiptJournal - Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 26 Oct 2025

Your privacy is critically important to us. At ReceiptJournal, we have a few fundamental principles:

• We are thoughtful about the personal information we ask you to provide and the personal information that we collect about you through the operation of our services.
• We store personal information for only as long as we have a reason to keep it.
• We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
• We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our ReceiptJournal application and services (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

a) Information You Provide to Us

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect information like your email address and password (which is encrypted).

User Content: We collect the receipts you upload, which includes the images and any data you manually enter or that we extract (like store name, items, totals, dates).

b) Information We Collect Automatically

Analytics & Usage Data: We collect non-identifiable information about how you use the Service. This may include your device type (e.g., "iPhone 13"), operating system (e.g., "iOS 17"), crash reports, and which features you use most. This data is anonymized or aggregated and is used only to help us fix bugs and improve the Service. We do not use it to personally identify you.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information for the following purposes:

• To Provide the Service: To create your account, allow you to log in, and to process, scan, store, and display your receipt content.
• To Improve the Service: To understand how users interact with our app so we can fix bugs, identify performance issues, and develop new features.
• To Communicate With You: To send you important service-related notices (like subscription updates or security alerts) and to respond to your support requests.
• For Billing: To process payments for paid subscription plans.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not share your personal information with anyone except in the limited circumstances described below.

We DO NOT Sell Your Data: We are not in the business of selling your personal information.

With Third-Party Service Providers: We use third-party vendors to help us provide the Service. They are:

• Cloud Hosting Providers: To host the app's servers and process/store your receipt data.
• Analytics Providers: To help us understand our app performance (using the non-identifiable data mentioned above).

These providers are legally and contractually bound to only use the information to perform the service we've hired them for. They do not have our permission to use your data for their own purposes, sell it, or "tinker with it."

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, or defend against legal liability.

With Your Consent: We may share information in other ways if you give us your explicit consent.

4. Data Security

We take security seriously. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your information. This includes measures like encryption of your data both in transit (when you upload it) and at rest (when it's on our servers).

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We keep your User Content (receipts and data) for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your information in accordance with our data deletion policies or required by the law.

6. Your Data Rights

You have rights over your personal data. Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Ask us to correct any inaccurate information.
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data.

You can exercise most of these rights directly through your account settings. For anything else, please contact us at [email protected].

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete it.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notification before the changes take effect.
