Privacy Policy — ReceiptTax

Tax-Smart Receipt Scanner for Freelancers

No accounts · No tracking · No ads

Effective date: May 26, 2026

ReceiptTax ("the App") helps freelancers and 1099 contractors scan receipts and auto-categorize expenses for tax purposes. We care about your financial privacy. This policy explains what we handle. We do not sell your data. We do not run advertising trackers. We do not require an account.

1. Photos & Camera

To digitize a receipt, you photograph it or pick an image from your library. Before your first scan, the App asks for your explicit permission to send that image to our third-party AI provider, Google Gemini (see §4). Only the single receipt image you are scanning is sent — it is used to extract vendor, amount, date, and a suggested IRS Schedule C category, and for no other purpose. We do not store your receipt images on our servers. If you decline, no image is sent and AI scanning stays off.

2. Receipt & Expense Data

Once a receipt is processed, the structured data (vendor, amount, date, category, notes) is stored locally on your iPhone only. This includes:

Receipt thumbnails (stored in your app sandbox)
Editable metadata (vendor name, monetary amount, date, IRS Schedule C category)
Free-tier counter (3 scans / 24 h, tracked locally)

None of this is uploaded to our servers. Reports you export (CSV / PDF / IRS bundle) are generated on-device and shared via iOS's standard share sheet.

3. Financial & Tax Disclaimer

The App's category suggestions are heuristic and based on common Schedule C patterns. This is not professional tax advice. Consult a licensed accountant or tax professional before filing.

4. Third-Party Services

Google Gemini AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite Vision) — with your prior consent, the App sends only the single receipt image you are scanning (no name, email, account, or device identifiers alongside it) to Google's Gemini API. The image is used solely to read that one receipt and return the extracted vendor, amount, date and category. Under Google's API terms this data is not used to train Google's models and is not sold, and Google is contractually required to provide the same or equivalent protection of your data as described in this policy. See Google's Privacy Policy and the Gemini API Terms.
Supabase Edge Functions — relays our API credentials to authorized clients. No user data passes through this layer. See Supabase Privacy.
Apple StoreKit — handles optional ReceiptTax Pro subscriptions. We never see payment details. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

5. Subscriptions & Purchases

ReceiptTax Pro is an auto-renewable subscription processed by Apple. Manage or cancel in iOS Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.

6. Analytics & Diagnostics

No third-party analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking pixels. Crash diagnostics use Apple's standard opt-in mechanism.

7. Children's Privacy

ReceiptTax is rated 4+ and intended for adult freelancers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Your Rights

Delete the App to remove all local data (receipts, history, exports).
Manage your subscription in iOS Settings → Subscriptions.
Contact us (see §10) to ask about data we hold.

9. Changes to This Policy

Significant changes will be noted with a revised effective date.
