Everything stays on your device.

Kepto is a privacy-first warranty and receipt tracker. We have built Kepto so that nothing about you, your receipts, or your purchases ever leaves your device — on iPhone and on Android.

Data we collect

On iPhone

None. We do not run any analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or tracking SDKs. We have no servers that receive data from the app. We do not have an account system; the app works without you identifying yourself.

On Android

The same applies: none. The Android app contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs. It also requests no internet permission at all — the app is technically incapable of transmitting your data off the device.

Where your data is stored

On iPhone

• All receipts, photos, warranty records, and preferences are stored on your device.
• iCloud Sync is on by default for fresh installs so that a reinstall on the same Apple ID can restore your existing receipts. You can turn it off at any time in Settings → Sync & Backup.
• When iCloud Sync is on, your data syncs through your own iCloud account between the Apple devices signed into the same Apple ID. Apple's privacy terms apply to that sync; Retriever Labs has no access to it.

On Android

• Your data is stored on your device.
• If you turn on Back up to Google in Settings (off by default), Kepto uses Android's Auto Backup to copy your data to your own Google account, so it can be restored if you reinstall the app or set up a new device. This is a backup-and-restore feature, not continuous cross-device sync. Google's privacy terms apply to that backup; Retriever Labs has no access to it.

Manual backup files

Kepto lets you export every receipt, every photo, and every custom category to a single .json file via Settings → Sync & Backup → Export Backup. You choose where it goes — Files, iCloud Drive, email, AirDrop, or anywhere else iOS lets you share. Retriever Labs never sees the file. You can also restore from a backup file the same way; data is merged by ID, and nothing existing on your device is overwritten.

On-device AI receipt parsing

On iPhone

• On iPhone 15 Pro and newer (and Apple Silicon iPads and Macs), with Apple Intelligence enabled in iOS Settings, Kepto uses Apple's on-device Foundation Models framework to extract structured fields from your receipt.
• The receipt image, the OCR text, and the extracted fields are processed entirely on your device. Nothing is sent over the network to Apple, to Retriever Labs, or to anyone else.
• You can disable Apple Intelligence at any time in Settings → Apple Intelligence & Siri. Kepto will fall back to a local heuristic parser with no change to functionality.

On Android

• Kepto uses Google AI Edge (AICore / Gemini Nano) to extract structured fields from your receipts directly on your device, with no network transmission and no API key.
• This runs on AICore-capable devices (for example Pixel 8 Pro/9 or Galaxy S24 and newer); on other devices Kepto uses a built-in on-device heuristic parser instead.
• Either way, the receipt image, the OCR text, and the extracted fields are processed entirely on your device.

On-device receipt OCR

On iPhone

All receipt photos are processed locally using Apple's Vision framework. The image never leaves your phone.

On Android

All receipt photos are processed locally using Google's ML Kit Text Recognition, which runs offline with a model bundled in the app. The image never leaves your phone.

Permissions we request

On iPhone

• Camera — only when you tap "Scan Receipt", to capture a receipt for OCR.
• Notifications — only with your permission, to remind you before warranties expire.

On Android

• Camera — only when you tap "Scan Receipt", to capture a receipt for OCR.
• Notifications (Android 13 and newer) — optional, for warranty reminders; you can decline.
• Add from Photos — uses Android's system Photo Picker, so you choose specific images and Kepto receives no broad gallery or storage access.
• Kepto requests no internet permission.

In-app purchases

On iPhone

The Kepto Premium one-time unlock is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple sends Kepto only a yes/no entitlement and a transaction ID. Retriever Labs never sees your Apple ID, payment method, or location.

On Android

The Kepto Premium one-time unlock is handled by Google Play Billing. Google sends Kepto only a yes/no entitlement and an order ID. Retriever Labs never sees your Google account, payment method, or location.

Third-party libraries

The few third-party components Kepto uses all run on your device and send nothing over the network.

• iPhone — Apple's Vision, Foundation Models, and StoreKit frameworks.
• Android — Google Play Billing Library, Google ML Kit (Text Recognition), and the Google AI Edge SDK (AICore).

Children

Kepto is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone.
