Privacy Policy
Last updated 15 October 2026
Your receipts and warranty records are stored on your own device, and — if you choose to turn on syncing — in your own Google Drive. They are not stored on our servers, and we cannot read them.
This policy explains exactly what happens to your information when you use My Warranty Safe, on the web or on your phone. It describes what the app actually does today. If that changes, this page changes with it and the date above is updated.
My Warranty Safe is operated by The TK Design Lab L.L.C., a New Jersey limited liability company ("we", "us"). You can reach us at support@mywarrantysafe.com.
What we collect, and what we do not
| Information | Where it goes |
|---|---|
| Your items — product names, purchase dates, prices, retailers, serial numbers, return windows, warranty terms | Stored on your device. Copied to your own Google Drive only if you connect it. Never stored on our servers. |
| Receipt photos | Sent to our server only at the moment you scan one, passed to our AI provider to read the text, then discarded. Not retained by us. Stored in your Drive if you save them there. |
| Your Google account identifier, if you connect Drive or use scanning | We store an anonymous account identifier so we can count how many free scans you have used. We do not store your name, email, or profile. |
| Your IP address, when you scan a receipt | Held briefly in memory to prevent abuse of the scanning service. Not written to a database, not linked to your items. |
We do not use advertising, analytics, or tracking of any kind. There are no third-party trackers, no advertising identifiers, and no cross-app or cross-site tracking. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with anyone.
Google Drive
Connecting Google Drive is entirely optional. The app works fully without it.
When you do connect it, we request a single, narrow permission called
drive.file. This permission allows an app to access
only files that the app itself created. It gives us no ability to see, list, open, or
search any other file in your Drive — not your documents, not your photos, nothing. That
restriction is enforced by Google, not by a promise from us.
My Warranty Safe creates a folder in your Drive called My Warranty Safe and writes your item records and any receipt photos there. Those files are yours. They stay in your Drive whether or not you keep using this app, you can open them yourself, and you can delete them at any time.
You can disconnect Drive from the app's settings at any time, and revoke access entirely at your Google account permissions page.
Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
Receipt scanning and AI
When you scan a receipt, the photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our server, which passes it to Anthropic to read the text and identify the purchase date, price, return window and warranty terms. The extracted details are returned to your device for you to confirm.
We do not keep the photo or the extracted text on our servers after the request completes. Anthropic's handling of that data is governed by their privacy policy. Receipt images are not used to train AI models.
If you never use the scanning feature, no receipt image ever leaves your device.
Where your information is stored
- On your device. The web app uses your browser's local storage; the mobile app uses on-device storage. Clearing your browser data or deleting the app removes it.
- In your Google Drive, if you connect it. Google's own privacy policy governs how they store it.
- On our servers: only the anonymous scan counter described above.
Deleting your data
You can delete any individual item from within the app at any time.
To delete everything, use Delete my account in the app's settings. This erases all records held on your device and the scan counter held on our servers.
One thing we want to be honest about: deleting your account does not delete files already saved in your own Google Drive. Those files belong to you and sit in your account, and we have no ability to reach into your Drive and remove them. You delete them the same way you delete anything else in Drive. We would rather say this plainly than imply a power we do not have.
You may also email us at support@mywarrantysafe.com to request deletion, and we will action it within 30 days.
Children
My Warranty Safe is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete the personal information we hold. Because we hold almost none — an anonymous identifier and a counter — most of these are satisfied by the delete function in the app. For anything else, email us and we will respond within 30 days.
Your item data is already in your possession: it is on your device and in your own Drive, in plain, readable files. There is nothing to request from us to obtain a copy.
Security
All communication with our servers uses encrypted HTTPS connections. Because your item records never reach our servers, a breach of our systems could not expose them.
No system is perfectly secure. If we ever become aware of a breach affecting your information, we will tell you promptly and directly.
Changes to this policy
If we change what the app does with your data, we will update this page and change the date at the top. For material changes we will also post a notice on this website before the change takes effect.
