Privacy First

Secure Digital Receipt Vault.

Your private financial data stays private. TaxLens securely stores your receipts on your device or via your personal iCloud, ensuring you're the only one who has access.

TaxLens secure receipt list

Enterprise-Grade Privacy. Consumer-Friendly App.

We believe your receipts are no one's business but your own. Every feature is designed with a strict privacy-by-default architecture.

100% On-Device OCR

We process your receipts locally using your iPhone's Neural Engine. Your images are never sent to third-party machine learning APIs.

Personal iCloud Sync

Your data backs up directly to your personal Apple iCloud account. We don't host your receipts on our own servers.

Face ID App Lock

Lock the TaxLens app behind biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) so no one can snoop through your expenses if you hand them your phone.

Zero Data Selling

Unlike free apps that monetize your purchasing habits, TaxLens never shares your expense data with advertising or analytics partners.

End-to-End Control

Delete your data at any time. Because it lives on your device and your iCloud, when it's gone, it's truly gone.

Secure Local Export

Generate PDF and CSV reports entirely on your device, then share them directly to your accountant via email or AirDrop.

If the Product is Free, You Are the Product.

Ever wonder how completely free (or massively funded) expense trackers make money? They leverage your purchasing habits.

"Free" & Legacy Expense Apps

  • Uploads your receipts to third-party Machine Learning APIs to extract data.
  • Shares your purchasing history and location with advertising/analytics partners.

Privacy FAQs

Is my data safe with TaxLens?

TaxLens secures your data through 100% on-device OCR and private iCloud sync, meaning we never sell your data or access your receipts. Your financial life remains strictly your business.

Where are the receipt images actually stored?

All images and structured data are stored locally in a secure sandbox on your iPhone. If you enable cloud backup, the data is encrypted and synced directly to your personal Apple iCloud account rather than our proprietary servers.

Does TaxLens use third-party APIs for scanning?

TaxLens performs OCR entirely on-device using your iPhone's processor. Unlike many expense trackers that upload your receipts to third-party Machine Learning services, TaxLens keeps your data locally to eliminate privacy risks.
