Privacy Policy
Plain English. No lawyer-speak. Last updated June 2026.
The short version
We never store your raw bank statement. We read it once, extract the subscription list, and throw the original away. We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. If you don't sign up for monitoring, we don't even keep your email.
What we process
When you paste or upload a statement
- We send the text/image to Claude (Anthropic) to identify transactions
- We strip anything that looks like an SSN or full account number before it leaves our servers
- We keep only the structured subscription list (merchant name, amount, category)
- The raw statement text or image is discarded immediately after processing
What we actually store (in our database)
- A structured list: merchant names, amounts, subscription categories, and verdicts
- Your payment confirmation (we record that you paid, not your card details — Stripe handles that)
- If you sign up for monitoring: your email address and the subscription list
- Nothing else
Where AI runs
All AI processing happens server-side through Anthropic's API. Your statement data is never processed in your browser and never exposed client-side. Anthropic may retain API inputs for up to 30 days per their data retention policy — we use their zero-data-retention API tier where available.
Monitoring subscribers
If you subscribe to $3/month monitoring, we store your email and a structured list of your known subscriptions. We use this to alert you when new charges appear. The subscription list is encrypted at rest. You can cancel and request deletion at any time by emailing us.
Third parties
Your rights
Email support@receiptroast.app to:
- Request deletion of any data we hold about you
- Ask what data we have stored
- Request a refund
- Cancel your monitoring subscription
We respond within 48 hours. We're reasonable humans, not a faceless data company.
