Privacy Policy

Ananta Ventures LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Keeps mobile application ("App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect your information when you use the App. By using Keeps, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name and email address. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile photo from Google Sign-In.
• Receipt & Photo Data: When you scan a receipt, the photo you capture or select from your photo library is processed by AI (OpenAI GPT-4 Vision API) to extract purchase details such as store name, date, total amount, and product category. The receipt image and extracted data are stored as part of your account.
• Purchase History: We store the receipt data and return/warranty deadlines you manage within the App.
• Payment Information: If you subscribe to Keeps Premium, payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your full credit card number. Stripe provides us with a customer ID, subscription status, and basic transaction metadata.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Device Information for Push Notifications: If you enable push notifications, we collect your device's push notification token (Expo push token) so we can send you reminders about upcoming return deadlines and warranty expirations.
• Firebase Authentication Data: We use Firebase Authentication to manage user sign-in. Firebase may collect identifiers such as your Firebase UID, sign-in provider, and associated metadata (e.g., last sign-in time).
• Usage Data: We may collect basic usage information to help us improve the App, such as feature usage frequency and crash logs.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the App's core features, including receipt scanning, deadline tracking, and reminders.
• Process and manage your Premium subscription and payments via Stripe.
• Send push notifications with return-deadline and warranty-expiration reminders.
• Authenticate your identity and secure your account through Firebase Authentication.
• Sync your data across devices (for Premium subscribers) using Firebase Firestore.
• Respond to your support requests and communications.
• Improve and optimize the App's performance and user experience.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions.

3. How We Store Your Information

Your data is stored using Google Firebase / Google Cloud Platform infrastructure. Receipt images and account data are stored in Firebase Firestore and Firebase Storage, which are hosted on Google's secure cloud servers located in the United States.

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit (TLS) and Firebase security rules, to protect your data. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Firebase (Google): Authentication, Firestore database, and cloud storage. Firebase Privacy Policy
• Stripe: Payment processing for Premium subscriptions. We do not store your payment card details; Stripe handles all payment data. Stripe Privacy Policy
• Google Sign-In: Optional sign-in method. When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email, and profile picture. Google Privacy Policy
• OpenAI: Receipt images are sent to the OpenAI GPT-4 Vision API for data extraction. OpenAI processes the image to return structured receipt data. OpenAI Privacy Policy
• Expo Push Notifications: We use Expo's push notification service to deliver reminder notifications to your device.
• Resend: Email delivery service used for transactional emails.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. Information is shared with the third-party providers listed above only to the extent necessary to operate and provide the App's services.

5. Camera and Photo Library Access

The App requests access to your device's camera and photo library solely to allow you to capture or select receipt images for scanning. These permissions are requested only when you initiate a receipt scan. We do not access your camera or photo library for any other purpose, and images are not collected in the background.

6. Push Notifications

With your permission, we send push notifications to remind you of upcoming return deadlines and warranty expirations. You can enable or disable push notifications at any time through your device's system settings or from within the App's settings.

To deliver push notifications, we store your device's Expo push token on our servers. If you disable notifications, we will stop sending them, though the token may remain stored until you delete your account.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services.

You can delete your account at any time from the App's Settings screen. When you delete your account, we will permanently delete your personal data, including your receipts, images, and profile information, within 30 days. Some data may be retained longer if required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g., billing records).

If you wish to request data deletion without access to the App, you may contact us at admin@anantaventurescom.com.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to promptly delete that information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at admin@anantaventurescom.com so we can take appropriate action.

9. Your Rights and Choices

• Access & Correction: You can view and edit your account information within the App at any time.
• Account Deletion: You can delete your account from the App's Settings screen, which will remove your data from our servers.
• Notification Preferences: You can manage push notification preferences through your device settings or the App.
• Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your device permissions or contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, or for any privacy-related questions, please contact us at admin@anantaventurescom.com.

10. Security

We take the security of your data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organizational safeguards, including:

• Encryption of data in transit using TLS/SSL.
• Firebase Security Rules to restrict unauthorized access to your data.
• Secure authentication via Firebase Authentication.
• PCI-DSS compliant payment processing through Stripe.

Despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect. If you suspect a security breach, please contact us immediately.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice in the App or by sending you an email.

Your continued use of the App after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
