Overview

Guilt Receipt is designed with a privacy-first architecture. Core calculations run client-side and do not require account creation.

This policy describes what data is processed, how third-party services may operate, and what controls are available to users.

Data Processing Scope

During normal use, you may provide:

• A purchase amount
• Your wage/salary
• Currency preference
• Spending category

This information is processed locally in the browser runtime for result generation.

Our API delivers static reference datasets (for example, comparison items and categories). These requests do not require user account identifiers.

Local Storage and Device Data

We use browser local storage for functional preferences such as:

• Your theme preference (light/dark mode)
• Whether you've acknowledged our cookie notice

You can clear local storage at any time through browser settings.

Cookies and Advertising Technologies

Guilt Receipt uses essential first-party storage for product functionality.

We may display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies for ad delivery, fraud prevention, and reporting, subject to applicable law and user consent settings.

You can manage advertising preferences through your Google account and browser controls.

Analytics

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand aggregate usage patterns, service quality, and product performance. Analytics data is intended for operational improvement and is not used for personal profiling by us.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Fonts: Used for typography delivery. Provider requests may include technical metadata. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense: Used for ad serving and reporting. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
• Hosting and CDN Providers: Infrastructure providers may process network metadata (for example, IP address and request logs) for uptime, abuse prevention, and security.

User Rights and Regional Compliance

Depending on your jurisdiction (including EEA/UK), you may have rights related to access, correction, deletion, and objection to certain processing activities.

• Access information about data processing
• Request correction or deletion where applicable
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Submit complaints to your local supervisory authority

Guilt Receipt is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
