YepScan: AI Budget & Expense App · yepscan.app · Last updated: November 15, 2026

In short

  • YepScan finds your purchase receipts and organizes them into one private history.
  • Signing in with Google gives us your account ID, email, name and profile picture. Gmail access is a separate, optional step and is read-only.
  • We keep the details extracted from receipts (store, date, amounts, item names and prices). We do not keep full emails, attachments or receipt photos.
  • We never sell your data, show ads, or use it to train AI or machine-learning models.
  • You can disconnect Gmail or delete your account and all your data at any time.

1. Who we are

YepScan (“YepScan”, “we”, “us”) provides a budgeting and expense app at yepscan.app that reads receipts from photos and from your Gmail. This policy explains what information we handle, why, and what control you have. For questions or requests, write to privacy@yepscan.app.

2. Information we handle

Google account information (when you sign in)

When you choose “Continue with Google”, we receive your Google account identifier, email address, name and profile picture. We use them to create and open your YepScan account.

Gmail data (only if you connect Gmail)

Connecting Gmail is a separate choice made on Google’s own consent screen. If you agree, YepScan requests the read-only scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.readonly. We use it to search your mailbox for messages that look like purchase receipts, including order confirmations and invoices from known stores and services, and a review of recent inbox mail (excluding the Promotions, Social and Forums tabs). We read the text of those messages on our server to recognize receipts.

From a recognized receipt we save: the store or service, date, currency and total, item names and prices, a reference or order number when present, the email subject line, and the message identifier. Messages that are not receipts are not saved as receipts. We do not save full email bodies or attachments. YepScan never sends, changes, archives or deletes your email.

Receipt photos

If you scan a paper receipt, the photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our server for text recognition. It is processed in memory and is not stored. When you save the result, we store only the extracted receipt details in your account.
