Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 7, 2026

At Spensy, we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect
The types of data we gather when you use Spensy

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and authentication credentials through our authentication provider (Clerk). We also store your membership level, preferred currency, and workspace preferences.

Financial Data

To provide our expense tracking services, we collect receipt images you upload, merchant names, transaction amounts, dates, item details, and category information. This data is stored securely and is only accessible within your workspaces.

When you upload a receipt image or bank statement, we send it to OpenAI's API (GPT-4o mini) for automated data extraction. This means your receipt images and statement content are processed by OpenAI in accordance with their API data usage policy. OpenAI does not use data submitted via their API to train their models.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with Spensy, including pages visited, features used, and general navigation patterns. This data is collected through Vercel Analytics and is used to improve our service.

Payment Information

Subscription payments are processed through Stripe. We do not store your full credit card details on our servers. Stripe handles payment information in accordance with PCI DSS standards.

2. How We Use Your Information
The purposes for which we process your data

We use your information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our expense tracking services
  • Process and categorize your receipts and financial transactions
  • Generate spending reports, budgets, and savings insights
  • Process subscription payments and manage your account
  • Send service-related communications (e.g., account confirmations, security alerts)
  • Develop new features such as price comparisons and personalized recommendations using anonymized, aggregated data
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats

External services we use to deliver and improve Spensy

We work with trusted third-party providers to deliver our services. Each provider is contractually bound to protect your data:

We will never sell your personal data to third parties. When data is shared with service providers, it is only to the extent necessary to deliver our services and under strict contractual obligations.

5. Data Security
How we protect your financial information

We implement industry-leading security measures to ensure your data remains protected. Your sensitive financial information is encrypted using state-of-the-art encryption techniques, both in transit and at rest.

Access to your personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel who need it to provide you with our services. All staff are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Our security team continuously monitors our systems for potential vulnerabilities, and we regularly conduct security audits to ensure your data remains safe.

6. Data Retention
How long we keep your data and when it is deleted

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

Anonymized and aggregated data, which cannot be used to identify you, may be retained indefinitely to help us improve our services.
