Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to ReceiptSnap. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what your rights are.

ReceiptSnap is a privacy-first receipt scanner app designed to help you scan, organize, and manage your receipts effortlessly. The app uses your device's camera to scan receipts and Apple's Vision Framework for offline OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to automatically extract store names, dates, and totals. All processing happens on your device - no cloud, no accounts, no data sharing. We are transparent about our data practices and committed to your privacy.

2. Data Collection Overview

ReceiptSnap is designed with privacy in mind. All your receipts and data are stored locally on your device, OCR processing happens entirely on-device, and the app does not require an internet connection to function.

3. What Data We Store

3.1 Receipt Data Local Only

ReceiptSnap stores your receipt data locally on your device:

• Receipt Images: Photos of your scanned receipts, stored locally on your device
• Store Name: The name of the store extracted from the receipt (e.g., "Albert Heijn", "Jumbo")
• Total Amount: The total amount extracted from the receipt
• Date: The date extracted from the receipt or manually set by you
• Receipt Metadata: Timestamp when the receipt was scanned, unique identifier

Storage: Receipt data is stored using SwiftData, which is a local database mechanism on your device. Receipt images are stored in the app's local file system. This data never leaves your device.

OCR Processing: Text recognition is performed using Apple's Vision Framework, which processes images entirely on your device. No images or text are sent to external servers for processing.

Sharing: This data is never shared with external services, third parties, or transmitted over the internet. You can export your data to CSV locally, but this export is initiated by you and handled entirely on your device.

3.2 App Preferences Local Only

ReceiptSnap stores minimal preferences locally on your device:

• App Settings: Any settings you configure within the app
• Purchase Status: Whether you have purchased the lifetime unlock (stored locally via StoreKit)

Storage: These preferences are stored using iOS UserDefaults, which is a local storage mechanism on your device. Purchase status is managed by Apple's StoreKit and stored securely on your device. This data never leaves your device.

Sharing: This data is never shared or transmitted anywhere. Purchase transactions are handled by Apple and we do not receive any personal information from these transactions.

4. Third Parties & External Services

ReceiptSnap does not integrate with:

• Analytics services (no Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, etc.)
• Advertising networks
• Cloud storage services (no iCloud, CloudKit, or external servers)
• Third-party APIs
• Social media platforms
• Crash reporting services
• External OCR services (all processing is done on-device)

5. Data Storage & Security

5.1 Local Storage

All data stored by ReceiptSnap is kept locally on your device:

• SwiftData: Your receipt data (store names, dates, totals, metadata)
• File System: Receipt images stored in the app's local directory
• UserDefaults: App preferences and settings

5.2 Security

We take security seriously:

• All local storage uses iOS standard security mechanisms
• The app operates entirely offline, reducing security risks
• No network communication means no data interception risk
• Receipt images are stored in the app's sandboxed directory, protected by iOS security
• OCR processing happens on-device - images never leave your device
• The app only requests camera permission (required for scanning receipts)

5.3 Data Retention

Data is retained as long as you use the app:

• Receipts: Your receipts and receipt images remain on your device until you delete them or delete the app
• Local Preferences: App preferences remain on your device until you delete the app or reset your device
• Purchase Status: Managed by Apple's StoreKit and can be restored if you reinstall the app

6. Your Rights

6.1 Access to Your Data

Since ReceiptSnap stores data locally on your device:

• All your receipts are visible and editable within the app
• You can view, edit, or delete any receipt at any time
• You can export all your data to CSV format via the Settings menu
• All stored preferences are accessible through the app's settings
• For questions about data storage, please contact info@aaltun.nl

6.2 Deletion of Data

You can delete your data at any time:

• Individual Receipts: Delete any receipt by selecting it and choosing "Delete"
• All Data: Delete the app from your device to remove all receipts, images, and preferences
• Preferences: You can reset preferences via the app settings or by deleting and reinstalling the app
• Receipt Images: Deleted when you delete the receipt or uninstall the app

6.3 Right to Object

Since ReceiptSnap does not collect or share any personal data with external parties, there is no data processing to object to. The app operates entirely locally on your device. OCR processing happens on-device and images never leave your device.

7. Permissions

ReceiptSnap requests the following permission:

• Camera Access: Required to scan receipts. The app uses the camera only when you actively choose to scan a receipt. Receipt images are stored locally on your device and never shared.

ReceiptSnap does NOT request:

• Location access
• Microphone access
• Contacts access
• Calendar access
• Photo library access (you take photos directly with the camera)
• Network access (not required - app works offline)

Camera permission is essential for the app's core functionality (scanning receipts). All processing happens on your device and images are stored locally. You can revoke camera access at any time in iOS Settings, but this will prevent you from scanning new receipts.

8. Children

ReceiptSnap is not specifically targeted at children under 13 years of age. Since we do not collect any personal data from external sources and all data is stored locally on the device, there is no risk of collecting data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and have questions about ReceiptSnap, please contact us at info@aaltun.nl.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by:

• Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this privacy policy
• Providing a notice in the app (if applicable)

We recommend reviewing this privacy policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your data. However, given that ReceiptSnap stores all data locally and does not collect personal data from external sources, changes to this policy are unlikely to affect your use of the app.
