Privacy & Security

Does BasketPulse read my bank account?

No. BasketPulse never connects to your bank, never asks for banking credentials, and has no integration with Plaid or any account aggregator.

Where does the receipt scanning happen?

Entirely on your device, using Apple Vision on iOS and Google ML Kit plus on-device language models on Android. Receipt images are never uploaded to a server for scanning.

Do you sell my data?

We never sell or share your individually identifiable purchase history. BasketPulse is sustained by licensing anonymized, aggregated market trend statistics that can't be traced back to you — see the Privacy Policy for details.

How Scanning Works

What if the app misreads an item or price?

Every extracted field is editable. Low-confidence values are flagged first during review so you can fix them before saving.

Can I add a digital receipt instead of a paper one?

Yes — share an e-receipt into BasketPulse from your phone's share sheet (Gmail, Photos, Amazon, and similar apps). Email forwarding to a dedicated address is planned for a future release.

Pricing & Monetization

Is BasketPulse really free?

Yes — 100% free for individual and household use, on iOS and Android, with no subscription and no ads.

If it's free, how is it funded?

Through anonymized, aggregated market trend data licensed to market research and consumer goods companies — never your individually identifiable purchase history.

Supported Stores & Regions

Which countries does BasketPulse support?

BasketPulse works with receipts from any store, in multiple currencies, across the countries it currently supports — and we're expanding to more over time. Check the app for the current list.

Account & Data

Do I need to create an account?

No account is required to start scanning and tracking your basket.

How do I delete my data or my account?

In Settings, use Delete all data to clear your local ledger while keeping your account, or Delete account to remove everything and close your account — both take effect immediately. See the User Guide for details.
