Your privacy

Updated October 8, 2026. Warranty Buddy is operated by Rylight Production Services Inc. For privacy questions or requests, email rylight11@gmail.com.

What we keep

We keep your account email, sign-in information managed by our authentication provider, purchase details, warranty and return dates, claim notes, and the receipt files you upload or import. Forwarded email can include its sender, subject, message, and attachments. Avoid uploading information that is not needed for your purchase records.

How we use it

We use this information to sign you in, show your records, save proof of purchase, extract receipt details when requested, provide support, and protect the service against misuse. Receipt files are accessible to their owner and people with accepted sharing access through authenticated requests. The operator can access service records to provide support and process deletion requests.

Services that process information

• Supabase manages email verification, passwords, and account sessions.
• OpenAI Sites hosting and Cloudflare provide the website, database, and receipt storage.
• Resend processes sign-in emails and forwarded receipts.
• When you choose Read receipt, or enable automatic receipt reading in the iPhone app, the receipt content is sent to OpenAI for extraction. Automatic reading starts after a receipt is uploaded or imported, and you can disable it in the app’s Account settings. You review extracted details before saving a purchase. You can enter details manually instead.

Providers may process information outside your country. We request that AI responses are not stored through the response-storage feature; provider security and abuse-monitoring retention can still apply. Provider policies govern their own processing. See Supabase privacy, Resend privacy, and OpenAI privacy.

Sharing with people you choose

When you invite someone, we store their email address, invitation status, and access level. They must sign in with the invited address and accept. Sharing a purchase includes its details and entire attached receipt, which may list other purchases. A shared collection grants access to every purchase added to it, including future additions. Editors can change purchase details; only the purchase owner can replace the receipt or invite people directly. Collection owners manage collection membership. Invitations are shown in the app; you send the invitation link yourself.

You can remove access or leave a collection. Removing access stops future access through Warranty Buddy, but cannot remove copies someone already downloaded or saved. Leaving a collection makes your contributed purchases private to you again, apart from separate invitations you created.

On your device

The website uses sign-in cookies. The iPhone app stores its session in the device’s Keychain. Camera and photo access are used when you choose a receipt. Warranty and optional return alerts are scheduled on that iPhone. Receipt-reading and reminder preferences are stored locally. Receipts sent through the iPhone share sheet are first saved in private shared storage used by Warranty Buddy and its receipt extension. They are not uploaded until you choose to import them into the signed-in account. You can preview or remove these pending local receipts in Shared from other apps. Receipt copies you download, share, or export to a calendar remain under your control and are not removed remotely.

Retention and deletion

We keep account and purchase information while your account is active. Request account deletion in the website or the iPhone app’s Account screen. We process requests within 7 days and email you when complete. This includes your sign-in account, purchases, stored receipts, and associated forwarded email held for the service. Download any receipts you want to keep before requesting deletion.

Deletion does not remove the original email in your own mailbox or copies you shared elsewhere. Service-provider backups and security logs may remain for their retention periods. A minimal request record containing account identifiers, dates, and completion status is retained to prevent deleted accounts from being recreated by an old session and to record fulfillment; the request email and forwarding address are cleared on completion.

Your choices

You can edit saved details, skip AI features, control camera and notification permissions in device settings, and request access, correction, or deletion through the contact above. Warranty Buddy does not include advertising trackers or sell your receipt information.

Changes

We will update this page when these practices change and update the date above.
