Privacy Policy — ReceiptVault
What this app collects
ReceiptVault does not collect any personal information from you. No accounts, sign-in, profile, or analytics.
| Data | Collected? | Stored where |
|---|---|---|
| Name, email, account info | No | — |
| Device location | No | — |
| Receipt photos & OCR text | Saved on your device only | App-private storage (deleted when you uninstall) |
| Parsed merchant / date / total | Saved on your device only | App-private storage |
| Crash logs / analytics | No | — |
On-device processing
- Receipt OCR uses Google’s ML Kit Text Recognition running on your device.
- Merchant / date / total parsing uses simple heuristics applied locally on the OCR text.
- CSV export writes a CSV file to the app’s cache directory and shares it via the system share sheet.
No image or text leaves your phone for these features.
Network connections
The internet is used only by Google AdMob to load ads (see “Advertising” below). Nothing about your receipts is sent to any server we control.
Permissions the app requests
- Internet / network state — required to load ads.
The app uses the system photo picker (no broad storage permission) and does not request location, contacts, microphone, or camera (it accepts images you pick from the gallery rather than capturing them).
This is not a tax or accounting tool
ReceiptVault is an organiser. The parsed merchant, date, and total are best-effort guesses based on the OCR text and may be wrong. Always review them yourself before relying on them for any purpose.
Advertising
ReceiptVault shows ads provided by Google AdMob. Google’s advertising SDK collects and processes limited data — for example, your device’s advertising identifier, IP address, and approximate IP-based location — to serve and measure ads. Ads are loaded only when the device has an internet connection.

If you live in a region where consent is required (the EEA, UK, Switzerland, or a US state with applicable privacy law), the app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) on first launch so you can choose whether ads are personalized.
Children
This app is not directed at children under 13 and is not classified as a “family” app on Google Play.
