Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 23, 2025
Overview
ScanToExcel is committed to protecting your privacy. We do not store your uploaded images or generated Excel files - period.
Your data is processed in real-time and immediately discarded after conversion. This policy explains exactly how we handle your data when you use our service.
Data We Don't Store
We do NOT permanently store:
- Your uploaded document or table images (receipts, bank statements, invoices, bills, credit card statements, paystubs/payslips, or images of tables)
- Financial information or table data extracted from your documents
- Account numbers, transaction details, or personal financial data
- Generated exported files (Excel, CSV, PDF, Word, JSON, or XML)
- User accounts or profiles (we don't require registration)
Data Processing
When you upload a financial document or table image (receipt, bank statement, invoice, bill, credit card statement, paystub, payslip, or image table):
- The document or table image is sent to our AI processing service for analysis
- Our AI extracts the relevant structured data based on the document type you selected
- The extracted data is converted to your chosen format (Excel, CSV, PDF, Word, JSON), or XML and sent directly to your browser
- After processing (typically under 3 seconds), the document/table image, extracted data, and generated output file are permanently discarded from our servers
Note: While we don't store your data, we use third-party AI services (Google Gemini) to process your documents and tables. Your sensitive financial information and table data are processed securely with enterprise-grade encryption and discarded immediately after conversion, regardless of output format. We never retain bank account numbers, transaction details, table contents, or any personal financial data.
Rate Limiting
We track your IP address temporarily to enforce our daily conversion limit (50 per day). This data is stored in a secure database and is used solely for rate limiting purposes.
Anonymous Usage Statistics
We track the total number of documents processed through our service as an aggregate count. This counter:
- Records only that a conversion occurred - no document content is ever stored or logged
- Is completely anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual user
- Is used solely to display social proof on our website (e.g., "X documents processed")
- Contains no personal information, file names, or document data whatsoever
Cookies and Tracking
Our website does not use cookies for tracking. We may implement analytics in the future to improve our service, and we'll update this policy accordingly.
Your Rights
Since we don't store your personal data, there's nothing to delete or export. Your receipt data exists only during the brief processing period and is automatically discarded afterward.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
