Privacy notice

Accounts and sign-in

We use your email address, account identifier and sign-in records to create and secure your account, deliver email verification codes and provide access to your receipts. An app installation identifier and session records help manage device access and replacement. Do not share your sign-in codes with support or anyone else.

Receipts and device permissions

The app uses the camera when you choose to scan a receipt, or images you select from your photo library. It reads receipt text on your device so you can check and correct the details. Receipt images, recognised text, merchant names, dates, amounts, categories, notes and your corrections can contain personal or purchase information.

Receipts and drafts are stored on your device. When you save and synchronise receipts while signed in, the app sends receipt records, images and sync metadata to the NZ Receipt cloud service so you can recover them on another device. On-device recognition does not mean that saved receipts stay only on the device. Remote recognition services are not enabled in the current NZ test service.

Choices, exports and Team sharing

You choose which images to import and which receipts to export or share. Exports may include receipt information and images; files you send to another app or person are then outside NZ Receipt's control. Where Team features are available, information you add to a Team is available to its authorised members according to their access, rather than remaining a private receipt. Team membership, role and activity records support shared access and its administration.

Optional category feedback is separate from normal receipt sync. If you enable it and tap Send feedback, the app sends your merchant and category choices linked to your account to help improve categorisation. You can turn it off in Settings; doing so removes unsent feedback. Contact us about feedback already submitted.

Why we use information

We use this information to save, organise, synchronise and export receipts, authenticate accounts, manage access, respond to support requests and detect or investigate errors and misuse. The current app and website do not use advertising or marketing analytics. NZ Receipt does not provide tax advice or determine tax compliance.

Service providers and overseas processing

Supabase provides the app's account, database and private image-storage services. The NZ project is hosted in Sydney, Australia. Resend delivers sign-in email; Tokyo, Japan is its selected sending region, not a statement about where all email data is stored. Google handles messages sent to our Gmail support address. Vercel is the selected website host.

Providers process information needed to operate these services, including delivery, request and security logs. Their infrastructure, support, logs and backups may involve other countries. We do not promise that information will be stored or processed only in New Zealand. Cloud requests use HTTPS and receipt access is restricted by account and Team permissions; no system can guarantee absolute security.

Website and support email

This website does not offer customer account registration, receipt uploads or a purchase checkout. Its host may process IP addresses, browser information, request times and security logs to serve and protect it. If you email receiptnz@gmail.com, we use your address and message to handle your request. Do not send passwords, sign-in codes, full payment-card numbers or receipt images as routine support information. Contacting us does not subscribe you to marketing.

Subscriptions

Purchasing is disabled in the current NZ test app. Apple, Google Play and RevenueCat are being configured for future subscriptions. Before purchases are enabled, this notice will explain the active payment and subscription processing. The current test app does not ask you to enter payment-card details.

Retention and deletion

We keep account and saved receipt information to provide the service until you delete it or request account deletion. Moving a receipt to Trash is different from permanently deleting it; check the app for its current restore or deletion status. Do not rely on an automatic cleanup deadline unless the app confirms one.

Account deletion removes your sign-in and private cloud receipts, images, recognition results and sync records, and clears this account's local data on the device where deletion succeeds. It does not erase copies you exported, copies on other devices or Team records needed by remaining members. See account and data deletion for the steps and Team ownership requirements.

Support correspondence, security and deletion records, provider logs and backups may be retained separately where needed to resolve a request, protect the service or meet a legal obligation. We will explain any applicable retention when handling a request. Purchase-ownership and trial-abuse records are designed to be retained separately if those services are enabled; they are not a reason to retain your private receipt images. Subscription and trial processing remain disabled in the current test service.

Your requests and our responsibilities

Contact us to request access, correction or deletion of your personal information, or raise a privacy concern. You can request deletion by email without reinstalling the app. We may need proportionate verification before disclosing information or deleting an account. We remain responsible for appropriate privacy and security safeguards and for handling incidents and notifications required by applicable law.

We will update this notice as the service changes and identify the update date above. Material changes affecting your information will be explained before the relevant new processing starts.
