Evyasaf Mordechai ("we", "us", "our") operates the Receiptly - Receipt Scanner mobile application ("App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our App.
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
When you scan a receipt, the App uses on-device OCR (Optical Character Recognition) via Apple's Vision framework to extract text from the image. The extracted text is then sent to our secure cloud server (Firebase Cloud Functions) which processes it using AI (OpenAI) to identify structured data such as vendor name, date, total amount, and categories. Only the OCR text is transmitted — your receipt images are never uploaded to our servers.
We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymized usage data (Product Interaction, Performance Data, and Crash Data). This data is used solely to improve the App's performance and user experience. This data is:
All receipt data, images, reports, and personal settings are stored locally on your device using Apple's Core Data framework. Your data remains on your device and under your control.
If you enable iCloud Sync in the App settings, your receipt data will be synced across your Apple devices using your personal iCloud account via Apple's CloudKit. This data is stored in your iCloud account and is governed by Apple's privacy policy. We do not have access to your iCloud data.
Receipt images are stored as JPEG files in the App's local documents directory on your device. Images are never uploaded to our servers.
4.1. We do NOT sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
4.2. We do NOT share your data with data brokers.
4.3. We do NOT use your data for advertising purposes.
4.4. Third-party services used by the App:
| Service | Purpose | Data Received |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Analytics (Google) | App analytics and crash reporting | Anonymized usage and crash data |
| OpenAI | AI-powered receipt data extraction | OCR-extracted text only (no images) |
| Apple StoreKit | In-app purchases and subscriptions | Purchase transactions |
| Apple iCloud/CloudKit | Optional data sync | Your receipt data (if enabled) |
We do NOT track you. The App does not use the AppTrackingTransparency framework because we do not collect data used to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies.
6.1. The App requests access to your camera to scan and photograph receipts, so it can extract details like vendor name, date, and total using OCR text recognition.
6.2. The App may request access to your photo library to allow you to import existing receipt photos for scanning.
6.3. Camera and photo access is used exclusively for receipt scanning. Images are processed locally and stored only on your device.
7.1. Your receipt data is stored locally on your device for as long as you keep the App installed. When you delete the App, all locally stored data is removed.
7.2. If iCloud Sync is enabled, data stored in iCloud persists according to your iCloud storage settings and Apple's data retention policies.
7.3. Anonymized analytics data collected by Firebase is retained according to Google's data retention policies.
8.1. We take reasonable measures to protect your data. All data transmitted to our cloud services is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS.
8.2. Local data is protected by your device's built-in security features (passcode, Face ID, Touch ID).
8.3. We do not store your receipt data on our servers. Cloud processing of OCR text is transient and not retained after processing.
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
10.1. Access and Deletion: Since your data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it at all times. You can view, edit, or delete any receipt, report, or data within the App.
10.2. Export: You can export your data in PDF, CSV, or ZIP format at any time.
10.3. Opt-Out of Analytics: You can limit analytics data collection through your device's privacy settings (Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements).
10.4. iCloud Sync: You can enable or disable iCloud Sync at any time in the App's settings.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Since your data is stored locally on your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly within the App. For any GDPR-related requests, contact us at receiptly@proton.me.
Legal basis for processing: Legitimate interest (improving App functionality) and consent (optional iCloud sync and analytics).
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
We do NOT sell your personal information. For any CCPA-related requests, contact us at receiptly@proton.me.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
