Privacy Policy
Vesta · Last updated: August 2, 2026
In short: your inventory stays on your phone. Three things
do leave it — a receipt photo when you ask for AI extraction, your Google
account when you sign in, and a purchase record when you buy scan credits.
Nothing else is uploaded, and nothing is ever sold.
1. What we collect, and when
| What |
When |
Where it goes |
| Receipt and item photos |
Only when you scan a receipt for AI extraction |
Sent to our processing service, read, and discarded. Never stored on
our servers. Photos you add without scanning never leave your device. |
| Google account (email, account ID, name) |
When you sign in |
Stored on our server so your scan credits survive a new phone |
| Purchase records |
When you buy scan credits |
Processed by Google Play and RevenueCat; we store only how many
credits you bought and when |
| Your inventory — items, amounts, rooms, serial
numbers, notes, photos |
Always |
Stays on your device. Not synced, not backed up by us, not readable
by us. |
We do not collect your location, contacts, browsing activity, or device
identifiers for advertising.
2. Why we need an account
AI extraction costs money to run, so scans are paid for with credits.
Credits are tied to your Google account rather than your handset, so they
follow you to a new phone instead of disappearing with the old one. That
is the only reason sign-in exists.
Adding items by hand requires no account and no credits, and works with
no network connection at all.
3. Where your data lives
- Your inventory is in a local database inside the app's private storage,
which other apps on your phone cannot read.
- Uninstalling the app deletes all of it permanently.
- On our servers we hold only your Google account identifier, your email,
your credit balance, and a log of credit changes. There is no copy of your
inventory, your photos, or your amounts.
- Everything in transit uses HTTPS.
About backups: the backup file the app creates is
not encrypted. It contains your receipt photos, amounts and
serial numbers. Anyone who opens the file can read all of it, so store it
somewhere private and think twice before sending it through email, chat, or
a shared drive.
4. Who else is involved
- Google Gemini — reads receipt photos you choose to scan.
Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
- Google Sign-In — verifies who you are.
- Google Play — processes credit purchases. We never see
your card details.
- RevenueCat — confirms purchases to us.
Their privacy policy.
- Cloudflare — hosts the service that talks to all of the above.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data, and we do not share it for
advertising.
5. Permissions
- Camera — to photograph receipts and items, and to scan
barcodes for serial numbers. Used only when you tap the button.
- Photo library — to import existing photos, only when
you pick one.
- Notifications — optional, for warranty expiry and
monthly summary reminders.
- Network — for AI extraction, sign-in, credit balance,
and purchases.
6. Deleting your data
Uninstalling removes everything held on your device. To also delete the
account record on our side — your email, identifier, and credit balance —
email us at the address below and we will remove it. Unused credits are
forfeited when an account is deleted.
7. Children's privacy
Vesta is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal information from them.
8. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes we will update the date at the top of this page
and note it in the app.
