Privacy Policy

What the app stores

Expense Packet stores the claims you create, the receipt images and PDFs you add, the details read from or typed onto each receipt, any conversion rates you enter, the packets you build, your claimant or business details, and your app settings. All of it is kept in the app's storage on your device.

Camera

The app asks for camera access only when you tap Scan, and uses it only to photograph a receipt. It never records video or audio. If you decline, you can still add receipts from Photos or Files.

Photos and files

When you import from Photos, the app uses Apple's system photo picker. That picker hands over only the items you choose, so the app is never given access to your whole photo library. Importing from Files works the same way through Apple's document picker.

Location data is removed. When you import a photo, the app writes a new copy without the original metadata, so the location where a photo was taken, the capture timestamp and camera identifiers are not carried into your claim or into a packet you send to someone else.

Reading receipts

Expense Packet uses Apple's Vision framework to read the text on a receipt and suggest a date, merchant, amount and currency. This runs entirely on your iPhone. Receipt images are not sent anywhere for processing. Suggested values are marked so you can check them, and you can change any of them.

Information we do not collect

We do not operate a server for Expense Packet. We do not receive your receipts, claims, packets, amounts, merchants, contacts, location or any personal identifier. We do not sell personal data, and there is nothing for us to sell.

Sharing a packet

When you share or save a packet, you choose the destination through iOS: mail, messages, Files, or another app. The packet contains the receipt images and the details you entered. Once you send it, it is handled by whoever receives it and by the service you sent it through.

The share extension

If you share a receipt into Expense Packet from another app, the file is copied into the app's own storage on your device and nothing else happens to it until you open the app.

Purchases

Expense Packet Unlimited is a one-time purchase processed by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment card details or your Apple Account credentials. Apple tells the app whether the purchase is active so the paid features can be unlocked.

Backups you make

You can export a backup file from inside the app. Where that file goes is entirely your choice, and it is then covered by whatever service you saved it to. We never receive it.

Deleting your data

You can delete any claim or receipt in the app, and Settings has an option to delete everything. Deleting the app removes its storage from your device. Because there is no account and no server, this is the complete picture: there is no copy held anywhere else for us to delete.

Children

Expense Packet is a tool for work expenses and is not directed at children. It collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date.
