Receipt VaultReceipt privacy checklist
A receipt scanner is only as private as its storage, OCR, account, bank-access, backup, and sharing choices. Local processing can reduce cloud exposure, but no app can remove risks such as device loss, weak backup passwords, or intentional exports.
Based on the current Receipt Vault workflow and privacy policy. Last updated August 1, 2026 by the Receipt Vault product team.
Check whether the app requires an account, requests bank access, or uploads images for recognition. Receipt Vault does not require a Receipt Vault account or bank connection, and its receipt OCR runs on the iPhone.
Receipt Vault stores its working archive locally. Data leaves when you intentionally export, share, or save a backup to another destination. The privacy of that destination then matters too.
Local storage reduces routine server exposure, but it makes backup discipline important. Use the device lock, protect backup passwords, and keep a recoverable backup where appropriate.
OCR is not guaranteed to be perfect. Receipt Vault is not accounting, tax, legal, or financial advice, and it does not automatically sync across devices.
The core receipt OCR workflow runs on the iPhone. Records may leave the device only when you choose to export, share, or save a backup elsewhere.
No. A bank connection is not required or supported.
No. Device loss, unauthorized device access, weak backup passwords, and insecure export destinations still need to be managed.
