Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Free Receipt Generator is designed with privacy at its core. We operate on a "privacy-first" principle, which means:

• No Personal Data Storage: We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information you enter into our receipt generator.
• Local Processing Only: All receipt data is processed entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript.
• No Account Required: You can use our service without creating an account or providing any personal information.
• No Tracking: We do not track your receipt content, business information, or customer details.

2. How We Protect Your Data

Your data protection is ensured through our technical architecture:

• Client-Side Processing: All calculations, formatting, and PDF generation happen in your browser.
• Local Storage Only: Draft receipts are saved exclusively in your browser's local storage, never on our servers.
• No Data Transmission: Receipt content never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to download or print.
• Secure Connections: All communication with our website uses HTTPS encryption.

3. Website Analytics and Cookies

We use minimal analytics to improve our service:

• Anonymous Usage Data: We may collect anonymous statistics about website visits and feature usage.
• No Personal Identification: Analytics data cannot be used to identify individual users.
• Essential Cookies Only: We only use cookies necessary for website functionality.
• No Third-Party Tracking: We do not use third-party tracking cookies or pixels.

4. Local Storage and Draft Management

When you save receipt drafts, the following applies:

• Browser Storage: Drafts are saved in your browser's local storage on your device.
• User Control: You can delete saved drafts at any time through your browser settings.
• No Remote Access: We cannot access, view, or retrieve your saved drafts.
• Device Specific: Drafts are only available on the device and browser where they were saved.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services:

• Bootstrap CSS Framework: Loaded from CDN for styling (no data collection).
• Font Awesome Icons: Loaded from CDN for icons (no data collection).
• jsPDF Library: Used for client-side PDF generation (no data transmission).

These services do not have access to your receipt data as all processing occurs locally in your browser.

6. Data Retention

Since we don't store your data, there is no retention period on our end:

• No Server Storage: Receipt data is never stored on our servers.
• Local Control: Any saved drafts remain in your browser until you delete them.
• Session Data: Temporary session data is cleared when you close your browser.

7. Your Rights and Controls

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All your data is visible and accessible to you in the browser.
• Deletion: Clear your browser's local storage to remove all saved drafts.
• Portability: Export your receipts as PDF files at any time.
