Last updated: September 26, 2026 · Ahldit is operated by Ahlchemy Author Company.
Ahldit is built privacy-first. By default, receipt scanning happens on your device and your receipts never leave it. Cloud features (AI OCR and multi-device sync) only send data when you explicitly turn them on and set an account.
On your device (default): receipt images, extracted data, categories and settings are stored locally in your browser. This never reaches our servers unless you enable sync.
In the cloud (only if you opt in): when you set a Sync account and enable sync, your receipt data (not images, unless you configure image storage) is stored in our Cloudflare database, keyed to your account, so it can appear on your other devices.
Cloud AI OCR (Pro, optional): if you choose the AI OCR engine, the specific receipt image you scan is sent to our OCR provider (Anthropic) to extract text, then returned. It is not used to train models by us.
Billing (Pro): payments are processed by Stripe. We store only a plan status and Stripe identifiers tied to your account — never your card number.
We don't sell your data, show ads, or share your receipts with third parties beyond the processors above that make a feature work.
You can export a full backup at any time (Config → Backup) and clear all data on your device (Config → Danger zone). When signed in, you can delete your data yourself in the app:
Delete cloud data: Config → Account → Delete cloud data removes all your synced receipts from our servers. Delete account: Config → Account → Delete account permanently erases your cloud receipts, cancels any active subscription, and removes your sign-in — this cannot be undone. You can also email support@ahlchemy.org to request deletion.
Data collected only if you opt into cloud features: your email (for sign-in) and receipt data you choose to sync. We do not sell data, do not use it for advertising, and do not use your receipts to train AI models. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). You can request deletion at any time as described above.
Ahldit is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Apple Inc., Google LLC, or any accounting provider (QuickBooks, Xero, Wave, Expensify). Those names are used only to describe export compatibility.
