Privacy & retention

Recur.money is built to keep your budgeting history useful without stockpiling sensitive data. Where possible, we prefer storing structured transaction details (merchant, totals, categories) instead of long-lived copies of raw documents. This page explains what’s retained, what’s deleted automatically, and what that means for your account.

If you’re the kind of person who reads privacy pages (respect), this is the practical version—no legal fog.

Receipt retention policy

Uploaded receipt images are stored for 15 days.

Why 15 days? It’s long enough for you to verify a scan, fix mistakes, and reference the original image if something looks suspicious. It’s also short enough to avoid turning your account into a permanent receipt archive.

After 15 days:

• The image is permanently deleted.
• The extracted transaction data remains in your account.

This means your budgets, analytics, and categories continue to work normally even after the image is gone. If you need long-term copies of receipts for compliance or reimbursement, you should store them in your own system.

Note: deleting the image does not “recompute” or remove any data you already confirmed—your saved expense is the source of truth.

What we don’t do

We keep things intentionally simple:

• No bank syncing: we don’t pull your card or bank history.
• No data selling: your spending data isn’t a product.
• No surprise sharing: we don’t hand your data to third parties for advertising.

When Recur.money integrates additional services (like file storage or email), they’ll be used to provide the feature—not to monetize you.
