Scan-A-Lot: Receipt Scanner

Effective October 9, 2026

Your photos

The app reads a photo only when you give it one: by picking it in the app's photo picker, taking it with Take Photo, opening it from Files, or sending it from another app with Share or Open In. It finds the documents in the photo and makes their files on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

The photo picker gives the app only the photos you pick, so Scan-A-Lot never asks to see your photo library. A photo you take with Take Photo goes to the app and is not saved to your library.

Files the app keeps temporarily

• A photo you share to Scan-A-Lot is copied into a folder only the app and its share extension can read, until the app opens it. If the app doesn't open it within a day, the app deletes the copy the next time you open it.
• Files made for the share sheet, or for a shortcut's Split Photo into Documents action, stay in the app's own temporary folders until a later export or shortcut run deletes them. iOS can also clear these folders on its own.
• The app remembers a few settings on your device, such as your preferred export format.

Files you save

Exported images and PDFs go only where you send them: a folder you pick in Files, your photo library, or the app you share them to. To save to Photos, the app asks for permission to add photos. It can't read your library with that permission. What happens to a file after you share it is up to the app or service you shared it with.

Data collection

Scan-A-Lot doesn't collect, store or share personal information, usage data, diagnostics or identifiers, and it contains no third-party code that does. Its App Store listing says "Data Not Collected" for that reason.

Children

The app collects no data from anyone, children included.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
