Privacy Policy

We built APODIX with privacy as a default, not an afterthought. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how.

Last updated: March 18, 2026

The short version

  • Free tier: All scanning happens on your device. No receipt data ever leaves your phone.
  • Paid AI tier: Only the extracted text (never the image) is sent to LLM for processing. It is not stored after the response.
  • We never sell your data. No advertising, no third-party data brokers, no exceptions.
  • Your receipts live on your device. We don't operate a cloud receipt database.

1. Who we are

APODIX is an iOS application developed and operated by Luxe Security. Our contact email is [email protected].

2. What information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

APODIX does not require you to create an account or provide an email address. The app uses a silent device-based authentication system: a random UUID is generated on first launch, stored in your device Keychain, and used to identify your subscription status. This UUID is not linked to any personal identity.

2.2 Receipt data

Free tier (on-device OCR): Receipt images and all extracted data are processed and stored locally on your device using Apple's CoreData framework. Nothing is transmitted to our servers.

Paid AI tier: When you scan using the AI engine, Apple Vision first extracts the text from your receipt image on-device. Only this extracted text not the receipt image is transmitted over HTTPS to LLM, where it is processed to identify merchant name, date, amounts, and category. The text is not stored on our server after the response is returned to your device.

2.3 Subscription and billing

All payment processing is handled by Apple through In-App Purchases. We never see or store your credit card details. We receive a subscription status indicator from Apple (active/inactive, plan tier) to enable or disable AI scanning features. We do not receive your Apple ID or billing address.

2.4 Technical and usage data

Our server logs standard request metadata for security and debugging: device type, app version, request timestamp, and whether a request succeeded or failed. These logs do not contain receipt content. Logs are retained for 30 days and then deleted.

3. How we use your information

  • To authenticate your device and verify subscription status
  • To process AI receipt analysis (paid tier only)
  • To maintain the security and reliability of the service
  • To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond operating the app.

4. Third-party services

4.1 AI

Paid AI scanning routes extracted receipt text to a AI API. The provider's data usage policy states that API inputs and outputs are not used to train their models by default. We recommend reviewing their policy for details.

4.2 Apple

The app uses Apple's VisionKit, CoreData, StoreKit, and App Store infrastructure. Apple's privacy policy governs data handled by these frameworks.

4.3 Railway (hosting)

Our API server runs on Railway. Server infrastructure is hosted in the United States. No receipt content is stored on Railway infrastructure only transient request processing.

5. Data storage and retention

Your receipt images and extracted data are stored on your iPhone using Apple's CoreData. We do not operate a cloud backup of your receipts. If you delete the app, all locally stored data is removed.

Deleted receipts within the app are moved to a "Deleted Items" folder and retained for your chosen period (1 week or 1 month) before permanent removal this is a local, on-device retention only.

6. Data security

Your device UUID is stored in the iOS Keychain (encrypted at rest). All communication between the app and our server uses HTTPS/TLS. We do not store receipt content on our servers. The combination of on-device storage and minimal server-side processing significantly reduces the attack surface compared to cloud-first receipt apps.

7. Your rights

Because your receipt data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it at all times:

  • Access: All your data is visible in the app
  • Export: Export everything as CSV, Excel, or PDF at any time from the Reports tab
  • Delete: Delete individual receipts or all receipts via Settings → Clear All Receipts
  • Portability: Export your data in open formats (CSV, XLSX) that work with any spreadsheet software

If you have questions about data held server-side (request logs, subscription records), contact us at [email protected] and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Children's privacy

APODIX is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at [email protected].

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be noted in the app's update release notes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of APODIX after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Terms of Use

By downloading and using APODIX, you agree to the following terms.

Acceptable use

APODIX is intended for personal and business receipt tracking. You agree not to use the app to process documents you do not own or have permission to scan, attempt to reverse-engineer or circumvent subscription enforcement, or use the AI scanning feature to process content unrelated to receipts in volume.

Accuracy disclaimer

APODIX uses AI and OCR technology which, while accurate, is not infallible. You are responsible for reviewing extracted data before saving, and for the accuracy of any financial records or tax submissions you create based on APODIX exports. We are not liable for errors in AI-extracted data.

Subscription and refunds

Subscriptions are processed through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Refund requests must be made through Apple. We do not control the refund process.

Service availability

AI scanning requires an internet connection and depends on our server and OpenAI's API being available. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. On-device (free tier) scanning has no such dependency.

Changes to the service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features of APODIX with reasonable notice. If we discontinue the AI scanning service, we will notify users and provide a reasonable transition period.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Canada. Disputes will be resolved in Canadian courts.
