Data Deletion Policy

Last updated: October 21, 2026

1. Overview

Smart Vault respects your right to control your data. This page explains how to delete your data and exactly what each option removes. Receipt records and images stored on our servers are encrypted on your device, and we cannot read them without your encryption key.

2. What You Can Delete

Data How to delete Timeline
A single receipt and its images Open the receipt → menu → Delete Immediate
All receipts, images and quick captures Settings → Delete All Data Immediate
Your account and everything stored for it Settings → Delete Account (section 5) Immediate

3. Deleting a Single Receipt

1

Open Smart Vault and unlock your vault.

2

Open the receipt you want to delete.

3

Open the menu (⋮), tap Delete, and confirm.

This deletes the encrypted receipt record and its encrypted images from our servers.

4. Deleting All Receipts

1

Open Settings in the App.

2

Scroll to the bottom, tap "Delete All Data", confirm, and confirm again with your PIN or fingerprint.

This deletes from our servers all your encrypted receipt records, encrypted receipt images and unprocessed quick captures. On your device it removes the encryption key and the App's settings, then signs you out. Your account stays, so you can start a new vault.

⚠️ What it does not delete: your account and the AI usage records described in our Privacy Policy. To remove those too, delete your account (section 5).

5. Deleting Your Account

1

Open Settings in the App and tap "Delete Account" at the bottom.

2

Confirm, then choose your Google account again. This proves it is you before anything is deleted.

We then remove, straight away:

The App also removes the encryption key and its settings from your device and signs you out.

Deleted image files stay in Google Cloud's deletion safety net for up to 7 days before they are erased for good. They remain encrypted, and nobody can read them without your key. This also applies to images removed by "Delete All Data".

🔐 Can't use the App? Email info@aimpulse.io from the email address you sign in with. We will delete the same data within 30 days and confirm by email when it is done.

6. What Happens to Your Encryption Key

Your encryption key is stored only on your device, in its secure storage. We never have access to it. It is removed from the device when you use "Delete All Data" or "Delete Account", or when the App's data is cleared or the App is uninstalled. If you emailed yourself a backup of the key, delete that email as well.

7. Copies Outside the App

PDFs, images or text you exported or shared from the App are not encrypted and are not deleted by any option above. Delete them where you saved or shared them.
