What Claimed collects, why, and how to make it stop. Last updated 1 September 2026.

The short version

Claimed sends a photograph of a receipt to our server, reads it, and sends back what it says. That photograph and what we read from it are stored so the app can build your claim later. Nothing else about you is collected, and nothing is sold, shared or used for advertising.

What we hold

• Receipt photographs. The pictures you take or import. A receipt can show a merchant, a date, an amount, sometimes the last four digits of a card. We hold the picture as you sent it.
• What we read from them. Merchant, date, total, currency, and a short description, plus how confident we were about each. If the receipt prints the last four digits of the card that paid, we read those too, so that the right card's foreign fee is applied. Four digits, never more: a reading that comes back longer than four digits is discarded rather than shortened.
• Your corrections. When you tell us we read something wrong, we keep both what we read and what you said. This is the only way we can tell whether the reading is getting better, and it is described in more detail below.
• An identifier from Sign in with Apple. Not your name and not your email: the app does not ask Apple for either.
• Your settings. Home currency, the foreign fee for each card by its last four digits, the name you want on a claim, and the address you send claims to.

What we do not hold

• No analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifier. There is no third-party analytics code in the app at all.
• No location. The app never asks for it.
• No access to your photo library unless you choose to import, and then only the pictures you pick.
• No bank connection, and no card numbers. Four digits off a printed receipt are not a card number and cannot be paid with. The foreign fee is a percentage you type in.

Who else sees a receipt

To read a receipt we send the photograph to Anthropic's Claude models through the Vercel AI Gateway. They process it to answer that one question and do not use it to train models. Our server and database run on Vercel and Neon, in Europe.

When you send a claim, the finished PDF goes wherever you send it, using your own mail app. We are not in the middle of that and we do not see who you sent it to.

Corrections, and why we keep them

Every time the app asks you to check something and you answer, we record what we read, what you said, and how confident we had been. We keep the times we were right as well as the times we were wrong, because you cannot tell whether a confidence score means anything from mistakes alone.

This is the only thing in Claimed that exists to improve the product rather than to serve you directly, which is why it is described here rather than buried. It is tied to your account and is deleted with it.

How long

Receipts and their readings are kept until you delete them or delete your account. We do not expire them on a timer, because a claim you have not sent yet is a claim you still need.

Deleting everything

Settings, then Delete account. It removes your account, your receipts, their readings and your corrections from our servers, and it takes effect immediately. Receipts already on your phone stay on your phone until you delete the app.

You do not have to email anyone and there is nothing to ask us for.

Children

Claimed is a tool for claiming work expenses and is not directed at children.

Changes

If this changes in a way that affects what we collect, the app will say so before it takes effect rather than only changing the date at the top.
