Privacy Policy

ReceiptMatrix is a macOS application designed to help you organize receipts and generate reports locally on your device.

1. Developer and Contact

Developer: Michael Boling
Contact: [email protected]

2. Local-First Design

ReceiptMatrix is built to operate locally on your Mac.

• OCR runs on-device using Apple system frameworks.
• Receipt images and extracted data are stored locally in your app container.
• ReceiptMatrix does not transmit receipt images, OCR text, vendor names, totals, tax amounts, dates, notes, categories, or file paths to the developer.

Your financial data stays on your device.

3. Data Stored on Your Device

ReceiptMatrix stores the following locally:

• Receipt files you import
• Extracted receipt metadata (vendor, date, amount, tax, notes, category, timestamps)
• App preferences (analytics setting, automation settings, export schedules)
• Security-scoped folder bookmarks for folders you select
• A local deletion ledger to prevent previously deleted files from being re-imported

All of this remains on your Mac unless you explicitly export or share it.

4. Folder and File Access

ReceiptMatrix accesses only folders you explicitly choose. macOS prompts you for permission when selecting folders. You may revoke access at any time in Settings.

5. Optional Product Analytics

ReceiptMatrix includes optional product analytics provided by PostHog.

During onboarding, an analytics toggle is shown. New users may turn it off before completing onboarding, and it can be disabled later in Settings. Existing users who have not enabled analytics remain opted out unless they turn it on.

If enabled, ReceiptMatrix sends limited analytics events to help improve the app. These may include onboarding completion, whether a setup folder was selected or skipped, first import/export milestones, OCR success milestones, paywall views, and purchase outcomes.

ReceiptMatrix does not transmit receipt images, receipt contents, filenames, folder paths, OCR text, vendor names, financial amounts, tax amounts, dates, notes, categories, or export destinations in analytics events.

PostHog may process technical metadata such as event timestamps, app version, OS information, and an anonymous distinct identifier. Analytics data is not used for advertising or tracking across apps or websites.

6. Subscriptions and Apple Services

ReceiptMatrix uses Apple's StoreKit 2 for subscriptions and in-app purchases. Apple handles payment processing, billing, renewals, cancellations, and transaction validation. ReceiptMatrix does not receive or store your payment information.

7. Network Usage

ReceiptMatrix may use network access for Apple StoreKit services, optional analytics (if enabled), and user-opened links. Receipt data is not transmitted during these operations.

8. Notifications

ReceiptMatrix may request permission to display local macOS notifications. These are local device notifications only — no push notification servers are used.

9. Crash Reporting

ReceiptMatrix does not enable automatic third-party crash reporting. Crash logs are not automatically transmitted to the developer. Apple may provide crash diagnostics through developer tools only when users have chosen to share diagnostics via Apple's system settings.

10. Security

ReceiptMatrix runs within the macOS App Sandbox with Apple's hardened runtime protections. Incoming network connections are not enabled. Outgoing connections are limited to the services described above.

11. Data Retention and Deletion

Your data remains on your device unless you export or share it. Deleting a receipt removes it from the app immediately. Uninstalling the app removes its local container data. You are responsible for your own backups.

12. Third-Party Services

ReceiptMatrix uses:

• PostHog, Inc. for optional product analytics, if enabled
• Apple StoreKit for subscriptions, payments, and entitlement validation

No advertising SDKs are used. ReceiptMatrix does not sell user data.

13. Children's Privacy

ReceiptMatrix is not directed to children under 13.

14. Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated to reflect product improvements or legal changes. Updated versions will include a revised effective date.
