Your records are private by default.
Last updated: April 28, 2026
What you add
We store the files, notes, and expense records you choose to create: receipts, screenshots, PDFs, pasted text, merchants, dates, totals, categories, payment methods, and line items.
How scanning works
When you use Scan, your upload or pasted text may be sent to OpenAI so ExpenseLense can read it into a clean record. Manual entries do not use scans.
Who can access it
Your account can access your records. Server-side services access them only to authenticate you, process uploads, save records, enforce billing, and keep the product secure.
Delete and export
You can edit, delete, and export expenses. When you delete an expense, its line items are deleted too. If its private original is no longer used by another record, that upload is removed.
Billing and usage
We keep billing status and scan usage events so limits, invoices, abuse protection, and cost tracking work correctly.
What this is not
ExpenseLense is not a bank, card provider, tax advisor, or accountant. It helps you keep clearer private records.
