Privacy Policy for Snap Expense
Last Updated: August 2026
Snap Expense ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how data is handled when you use the Snap Expense mobile application.
1. Data Storage & Syncing
Snap Expense is architected with privacy-first principles:
- Local & Personal Cloud Storage: Expense records, merchant details, dates, categories, notes, and receipt attachments are stored locally on your device and synchronized across your authorized devices using your personal operating system cloud backup account. Your data resides solely in your private personal storage container. We do not operate external database servers storing your personal expense history, nor do we have access to your stored records.
- AI Receipt Processing & OCR: When you scan a receipt or import a document/PDF, image files are transmitted securely via encrypted HTTPS to vetted third-party cloud infrastructure solely for real-time optical character recognition (OCR) and structured data extraction. Data is processed ephemerally, is never stored or logged on remote servers, and is not used to train artificial intelligence models or track users across services.
2. In-App Purchases & Billing
All subscription and purchase transactions are processed securely through Apple's App Store in-app purchase system and verified via industry-standard subscription management infrastructure. We do not collect, view, or store your payment card numbers, banking details, or billing addresses.
3. Third-Party Service Providers
We only work with trusted third-party infrastructure and service sub-processors strictly necessary to deliver core application functionality:
- Personal Cloud Backup Services: To enable secure cross-device synchronization tied to your personal device account.
- Cloud AI Sub-Processors: To provide ephemeral, automated text extraction and optical character recognition for receipt images.
- App Store & Purchase Verification Services: To process digital transactions, validate receipts, and manage active subscription entitlements.
4. Analytics & Tracking
Snap Expense does not track you across third-party applications or websites, nor do we sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
Your expense data is retained exclusively on your local device and within your private personal cloud storage container. Deleting the Snap Expense application from a device removes the local database copy on that device. Synced records remain in your private cloud storage until you delete them directly within the app or manage them via your device's system cloud storage settings.
