Privacy Policy

1. Browser-Local Document Processing (Zero Server Retention)

LedgerParse AI is engineered so your PDF invoices, bank statements, and receipt images stay inside your own browser tab. Text extraction (pdf.js) and scanned-page canvas rendering run 100% client-side in your device's memory. We do not upload, store, log, or inspect your financial documents on LedgerParse AI servers.

2. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) & Third-Party AI Providers

When you enable AI extraction, your API key is stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage under your own origin and is never transmitted to LedgerParse AI. Extracted document text or rendered page images are sent directly from your browser to the AI API provider you select (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic). You can delete your stored API key immediately at any time using the Clear Key button in BYOK Settings.

3. Pro License Verification & Strictly Necessary Cookie

When you activate or validate a paid Pro license key, LedgerParse AI's API routes verify the key server-to-server with our licensing and checkout partner, Payhip (payhip.com). Upon successful verification, our server sets a single strictly necessary, HttpOnly, HMAC-SHA256 signed session cookie (lp_pro_session) containing non-sensitive license status metadata (key hash, masked key preview, browser instance ID, product ID, and session expiration).

We do not use third-party advertising cookies, behavioral ad pixels, or cross-site tracking scripts.

4. Payment & Tax Data (Checkout Partner)

All checkout transactions, EU/UK digital VAT collection where applicable, billing receipts, and license key delivery are processed through Payhip (payhip.com) and its connected payment processors (such as Stripe and PayPal). LedgerParse AI never collects or stores credit card numbers, CVVs, or bank account credentials. Information provided during checkout (such as your billing email and country) is governed by Payhip's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Inquiries & Customer Support

If you have questions about privacy, licensing data, or your account, contact us at support@ledgerparse.ai. We respond to all support inquiries within 3 business days.
