Without backup, your purchases and receipt photos are stored only on your device. Receipt and screenshot scanning happens on your device using its built-in text recognition.
The app uses the camera or photo library only when you choose to photograph a receipt or pick a receipt photo or order screenshot. It does not read anything else from your photo library.
When you add a receipt photo or an order screenshot, the text is read on your device (Apple Vision on iPhone, Google ML Kit on Android). The image is not sent to us to be scanned.
If you turn on backup, you sign in with your email address. Your purchases and receipt photos are stored on our servers (hosted by Supabase) so you can restore them on another device. Only you can access them.
You also get a personal forwarding address. Emails you forward to it are read automatically to create purchases. We keep the purchase details we extract, plus the email's subject line and sender address in an import log so you can see what arrived. We do not keep the full email.
Sign out in Settings to stop backing up.
In Settings, choose "Delete my account and data". This immediately and permanently deletes your account, your backed-up purchases and receipt photos, your forwarding address and its email log from our servers, and every purchase, receipt photo and reminder on your phone. Emails forwarded to your old address afterwards are discarded. If you never turned on backup, the same option erases everything on your phone; deleting the app does too.
Deleting your data does not cancel a Premium subscription: manage that in your App Store or Google Play settings. If you can't use the app, email us from your sign-in address and we will delete your account within 30 days.
PDF and spreadsheet exports are created on your device and shared only where you choose to send them.
Return and warranty reminders are scheduled locally on your device.
Subscriptions are processed by Apple or Google; we never see your payment details. We never sell or share your data, and the app contains no ads or third-party analytics.
Return Radar is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
