Privacy Policy

1. Information Docket stores

Docket stores the information needed to help you keep expense records. Depending on how you use the app, this can include:

• expense records and related notes
• mileage records
• receipt photos and thumbnails
• OCR extraction results and confidence data
• app settings and profile fields you choose to enter
• local export history if you keep exported files on your device

2. How Docket uses this information

Docket uses the stored information to provide the features you expect inside the app, including:

• scanning and importing receipts
• extracting merchant, date, total, VAT, and likely categories from receipts
• allowing you to review and correct OCR results before saving
• showing tax-year totals and mileage summaries
• creating CSV and PDF exports when you choose to export

3. Local-first storage

Docket is designed to keep the core record-keeping dataset on your device first. The MVP version does not require a custom Docket backend or a web portal to use its core workflow.

4. iCloud sync

Paid plans may unlock optional sync through Apple-native iCloud and CloudKit services. If sync is enabled, your records may be stored in your own Apple account so they can appear across your Apple devices.

Docket should continue to function locally even when iCloud is unavailable. If you are not signed into iCloud, or if iCloud is restricted on your device, the app should remain usable in local-only mode.

5. Camera and photo library access

Docket requests access only when you choose to use those features:

• Camera access is used to scan paper receipts and supporting documents into Docket.
• Photo library access is used to import receipt photos you already captured or stored.
• Photo additions access may be used if you choose to save exported reports or receipt images.

6. Purchases and subscriptions

Docket offers in-app subscriptions. Paid tiers may unlock unlimited scanning, cleaner exports, and optional iCloud sync. Purchase processing is handled through Apple. Docket can store the subscription state needed to unlock the relevant features inside the app.

7. Analytics, identifiers, and diagnostics

Based on the current MVP implementation, Docket is not intended to collect advertising identifiers, analytics events, or crash-reporting diagnostics through a separate third-party platform. If that changes in a future release, this policy should be updated before release.

8. Data sharing

Docket is designed so that the core workflow does not depend on selling your information or sharing it with data brokers. Where Apple services are used for purchases or optional iCloud sync, those flows are governed in part by Apple's own terms and privacy policies.

9. Your choices

• You can choose whether to scan with the camera or import from the photo library.
• You can review and edit OCR results before saving a record.
• You can choose whether to subscribe to paid plans.
• You can choose whether to use optional iCloud sync when it is available to your plan.

10. Changes to this policy

This privacy policy may be updated as Docket evolves. If data practices materially change, the policy should be updated before the relevant app release is published.
