Protect Your Data Against Theft

In a world where data is constantly at risk, your scanned receipts contain more sensitive information than you might think. From store names to transaction amounts, even a simple ticket can reveal habits you wouldn’t want exposed. Here’s how to protect your data from theft.

1. Use an app that respects privacy

Choose a scanning app that doesn’t sell or share your data, and clearly states its security practices. Look for GDPR compliance, and avoid apps requiring unnecessary permissions.

2. Enable encryption

Always check if your receipts are encrypted both in transit and at rest. This ensures that even if someone intercepts your data, they can’t read it.

3. Activate device-level protection

Use Face ID, fingerprint lock, or strong passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your app and phone. Some apps allow an extra PIN for added security.

4. Store in secure cloud (or offline)

If you use cloud storage, make sure it’s end-to-end encrypted and hosted in a country with strong privacy laws. Alternatively, keep your receipts offline and locally on your device with encryption enabled.

5. Review app permissions

Only give the app access to what it truly needs: camera, local storage — not contacts or location. Fewer permissions = less risk.

Conclusion: Your scanned receipts may seem harmless, but protecting them means protecting your identity, habits, and privacy. Choose the right app, secure your device, and stay in control of your data.
