Privacy Policy
Last updated 13 September 2026. Receipt Warden is operated by Park Tech Systems, ABN 21 250 757 796 (Australia). This policy describes the lifetime edition.
This app exists to keep receipt and warranty proof, so being specific about what happens to them matters more than the usual reassurances. The short version: your receipts and warranty records stay on your device unless you choose to share a file or select a storage provider. Billing is handled separately.
What we collect
Receipt Warden has no app accounts, no sign-in and no receipt server. Receipt content is stored in the app's private local storage unless you export it. Separate purchase-status checks send limited billing information to Google Play and RevenueCat:
| Data | Why it is on your device |
|---|---|
| Receipt images and PDFs you capture or import | They are the product. An image is the evidence behind a deduction or a warranty claim, so it is kept rather than discarded after reading. |
| Extracted details — vendor, date, totals, tax, line items, category, notes | To file, search, report and export your receipts. Text extraction runs entirely on your device; the image is never sent anywhere to be read. |
| Warranty records, product photos, barcodes, serials and claim history | To organise proof, generate claim PDFs and track primary, return and extended-cover dates. If you enable Pro notifications, your phone schedules local reminders. New alerts are off by default. Switch each deadline off or pause all notifications in Settings. Barcode scanning does not perform a product lookup. |
| Lifetime purchase and any historical paid-entitlement status | To display, restore and enforce a paid plan. RevenueCat uses an anonymous, app-scoped customer identifier and limited technical and purchase information for this purpose. This is the one category that involves anyone else — see below. Receipt Warden does not receive your card or bank-account details from Google Play. |
We do not collect location, contacts, advertising identifiers or browsing activity. There is no behavioural product-usage or crash analytics SDK and no advertising in the app. RevenueCat produces purchase metrics from the limited billing information described here; it receives no receipt activity. This website loads no third-party resources, sets no cookies and runs no analytics.
Where it is stored
Receipt records, photos and warranties are held in the app's local storage. Scanning runs on-device and no receipt content is uploaded to Park Tech Systems. Optional backups create additional files in a folder you choose (or app storage where supported). We do not hold a server copy or offer cloud sync. Keep a backup outside app storage before switching phones or uninstalling. A local folder on the same phone still depends on that phone surviving.
Optional backups and sharing
Pro can create ZIP backups containing receipt details, notes, categories, warranties, product photos, claim history and compressed photo copies. Newly captured original photos stay unchanged inside the app; the backup contains resized/compressed copies, not a byte-for-byte copy of every camera original. Imported PDFs are retained as documents without changing their original bytes. Plain ZIPs are not encrypted. Anyone with access to a ZIP can read its contents, so choose a private folder and recipients carefully.
You may choose a password-protected manual export instead. It uses an authenticated encrypted format separate from ordinary ZIP. The password is used locally, not stored in your records or sent to us. We cannot recover a forgotten password. Losing it can make that encrypted copy unusable. A date-selected export includes only its stated scope, not your whole wallet.
Automatic local backups are unencrypted ZIP files and are opt-in. The app remembers your selected folder, enabled setting and last success/error locally. Background execution depends on the operating system and is not guaranteed at an exact time. Opening the app allows overdue backups to run. Folder permission or storage failures are shown in the app; check the last-success status.
When you use Share, the file is passed to the app or recipient you choose. Google Drive, OneDrive, Messenger, Telegram, WhatsApp and other destinations have their own privacy policies, file limits and access controls. If you choose a cloud-backed folder/provider, that provider may upload the file and store it outside Australia. Receipt Warden does not sign in to or directly connect to these accounts. Sharing is your choice, not an automatic upload to us.
Who else sees it
| Who | What they receive | When |
|---|---|---|
| RevenueCat | An anonymous, app-scoped customer identifier, limited technical information, and subscription or purchase status — never your receipts, images or warranty records | When the app checks billing, or when you buy or restore a paid plan |
| Google Play | The store's purchase and payment record — never your receipts, images or warranty records | When you buy, restore, cancel or otherwise manage a Google Play purchase |
Apart from destinations you explicitly choose, we do not sell your data, share it for advertising, or use your receipts to train machine-learning models — your receipts never reach us in the first place.
How long it is kept
Receipts are kept on your device for as long as you keep the record — deliberately, because a warranty can run for years and tax records need to be produceable long after the purchase. When you delete a receipt, it moves to Recently deleted. From there, you choose whether to restore it or Delete forever. It and its images are only permanently removed when you choose Delete forever. A cached export can contain another complete copy, so Delete forever also clears all export files and export history still managed by Receipt Warden. A copy you already saved or shared outside the app remains where you put it; only you control that copy and you must delete it at its destination if you no longer want it.
Delete your Receipt Warden data
There is no account to delete, because Receipt Warden has no accounts and no receipt server. To erase the records on your device, open Settings → Delete all data on this device in the app, or simply uninstall the app. Because your records live only on your device, either route removes your data immediately and permanently from that device — there is no receipt server copy, no backup of ours, and no recovery window once the device copy is gone. This is different from deleting one receipt: that puts it in Recently deleted until you restore it or choose Delete forever.
The app can erase only the files it still manages. Copies you previously exported to Files, cloud storage, email, an accounting product or another destination are outside Receipt Warden and are not removed by Delete forever, a full-device wipe or uninstalling the app.
RevenueCat may separately hold an anonymous customer record used for billing. To ask Park Tech Systems to delete that record, email support@parktechsystems.com. Say that the request is about Receipt Warden and include the Google Play transaction ID from your purchase receipt (it begins GPA), or your RevenueCat App User ID if you have it. Do not send card or bank details. We may ask for enough information to match the correct record and avoid deleting another customer's purchase history. Once matched, we will delete the RevenueCat customer through its dashboard or API. RevenueCat documents that this clears the customer record and purchase history, subject to any limited retention it is legally required to keep.
Deleting local data or the RevenueCat customer does not refund or revoke a Google Play lifetime purchase. Any historical subscription must still be cancelled separately in its store. Using Restore Purchases later can sync the purchase into RevenueCat again. Google Play controls a separate payments record and may retain transaction information for required accounting or other legal obligations. Park Tech Systems cannot delete Google's record. None of these billing records contains your receipts, images or warranty records.
Getting your data out
Receipt viewing, correction, notes, single receipt PDF export and restoration of an existing backup are free. Pro is required to create receipt backups, automatic local backups and compressed ZIP exports. Optional local warranty notifications also require Pro; warranty records and dates remain free. Existing backup files remain yours if paid access is refunded or revoked. A backup saved outside app storage can be restored locally without paying again; we cannot recover a backup you no longer have.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles you can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and ask us to delete it. Your receipt and warranty records exist only on your device, where you can read, correct, export and delete them yourself. For the limited RevenueCat billing record, use the deletion process above. If you would rather ask a person, email support@parktechsystems.com. If you are unhappy with how we have handled a privacy matter you may also complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Children
Receipt Warden is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that affects what happens to your data, we will say so in the app rather than quietly editing this page.
