Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 24, 2026

Pine Save ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. By using Pine Save, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Data We Collect

Account Information

  • Email address
  • Display name
  • Preferred language

Receipt Data

  • Receipt images (stored encrypted on our servers)
  • Extracted items, prices, stores, and dates
  • OCR confidence scores

Shopping Data

  • Shopping lists
  • Barcode scans
  • Purchase patterns

Financial Data

  • Budgets and income entries
  • Recurring expenses
  • Payment method reward rules

We never store your credit or debit card numbers.

Location Data

Location data is collected only when you opt in. It is used to show nearby store deals and calculate distances. We never track your location in the background.

Other Data

  • Notification preferences and consent records
  • Subscription and billing status (managed by Apple/Google — we don't process payments directly)

2. How We Use Your Data

  • To provide and improve app features (analytics, deal matching, price tracking)
  • To sync data across your devices and members of Spaces you've invited
  • To send notifications you've opted into (deal alerts, budget warnings)

We do NOT sell your data to third parties.
We do NOT use your data for advertising.

3. Receipt Image Processing

OCR (optical character recognition) runs entirely on your device. Receipt images are uploaded to our servers only for storage and sync purposes — they are not sent to third-party OCR services.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of third-party providers for authentication, hosting and storage, push notifications, and subscription billing (handled by the Apple App Store and Google Play). These providers process only the data necessary to deliver their service, and we do not share personal data with them for advertising or resale.

5. Data Retention

Your data is retained while your account is active. You can request full deletion of your data at any time. See our Data Deletion page for instructions.

6. Shared Spaces

When you share receipts or lists with a Space (for your household, business, or friends), other members of that Space can see the shared data. You control visibility (private vs. shared) per receipt. Only data you explicitly share is visible to other Space members.

7. Children's Privacy

Pine Save is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of material changes via in-app notification or email.
