Summary: Receipt Runner tries to keep everything local on your computer. That makes all your data private, and as secure as your computer is.
There are three exceptions to this:
The app uses access to your emails to search for matching receipts, in the following way:
The app can be used to send emails with receipts to accounting software that supports importing receipts by email.
The app uses bank transcripts to search for the right receipts.
The app uses Stripe for payment. They have a privacy policy that can be read here: https://stripe.com/privacy
In addition, we store subscription status and your email adress on our subscription server. This is used to make sure only you have access to the app you've paid for and to contact you in case there's anything wrong.
I use Crisp for chat. Data you share with the chat widget is stored by Crisp in accordance with the Crisp Privacy policy. This is needed to help you and respond to questions you might have on the site or in the app, and may include your email (if you provide it) as well as where you are on the site or in the app.
To know how well the site and app is doing, we've installed the privacy sensitive Matomo Analytics. It is configured to not store any personally identifiable information (including anonomyzing IP adresses), but it does store a cookie to easily distinguish each visitor to any specific site from another visitor to that site. You can read more in the Matomo privacy policy. You can, if you wish, opt out of all Matomo website tracking (on any site) using the same link.
In the app, Matomo is used to track health indicators for the app - without linking it to personally identifiable information.
It tracks things like:
The setup never tracks any information that can be used to identify you, nor any of your transactions or emails.
Determining if you are under GDPR or not... (Ad retargeting is blocked until we can confirm that you are outside the EU)
If you are in the EU or otherwise under GDPR juristiction, all non-GDPR compliant tracking is turned off without you having to press some button declining our "offer" of cookies - including Facebook pixels and Google tracking.
If you are not under GDPR juristiction (i.e. outside the EEA/EU), and you don't block ads, Facebook and Google might track you while on this website through a Facebook Pixel and Google tracking code. The tracking is not active in the app itself, only on this webpage, and so the only information shared with them is the fact that you visited, wether or not you downloaded the app, wether you completed a purchase, and similar actions on the website. (The purchase tracking is used to stop showing ads to you if you become a customer and to tell Facebook to show Receipt Runner to others like you who might also like it).
The ads are used to remind you about the product for a few days after your visit. From our experience, enough people end up buying after being reminded by one of these retargeting ads that it seems worth the pestering, especially with the minimal personal information available to trackers on this site.
Non GDPR compliant trackers like Facebook and Google are not allowed in the app, where your personal data lives.
If you wish to block Facebook pixels and Google ads on all sites, regardless of GDPR or not, I recommend uBlock origin or similar adblocking software.
If you want to teach our system to be better at finding receipts, you may in the future be asked if you want to opt in to a programme that allows us to experiment with different search methods. If so:
