1. Introduction
Welcome to Trackbill.ai ("Trackbill", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and managing your personal data in a transparent, secure, and lawful manner.
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we collect, use, store, transfer, and protect your personal data when you use our expense tracking and receipt management services, including our website (the "Site"), our integration with third-party messaging services (such as WhatsApp), and our integrations with cloud storage and accounting platforms (collectively, the "Service").
This Policy complies with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) of Hong Kong ("PDPO") and other applicable data protection laws. By creating an account, accessing, or using our Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy.
2. Statement of Policy
We comply with the Data Protection Principles ("DPP") under the PDPO. Specifically, we ensure that:
- Personal data is collected lawfully and fairly for directly related purpose(s).
- All practicable steps are taken to ensure personal data is accurate and not kept longer than necessary.
- Personal data is used strictly for the purpose for which it was collected (or a directly related purpose), unless explicit consent is given.
- Personal data is protected against unauthorized or accidental access, processing, erasure, loss, or use.
- Data subjects have the right to access and correct their personal data.
3. What Personal Data We Collect
We collect the minimum personal data necessary to operate and improve our Service.

4. Purpose of Data Collection and Use
We process your personal data for the following specific purposes:
- Service Provision: To process receipt images using artificial intelligence (such as enterprise AI processing models), extract structured data, and generate expense reports.
- Third-Party Integrations: To push formatted financial data and receipt attachments to your connected accounting platforms (Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho) or cloud spreadsheets (Google Sheets).
- Account Administration & Billing: To manage your account, process subscription payments via secure third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe), and issue billing invoices.
- Customer Support & Service Updates: To communicate essential updates, technical alerts, security notices, and support responses.
- System Improvement: To train and refine our internal receipt extraction algorithms using aggregated, fully anonymized data that cannot identify any individual.
Google Limited Use Disclosure: Trackbill's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
5. Direct Marketing (Hong Kong PDPO Part 6A Compliance)
We strictly respect your preferences regarding direct marketing communications (such as promotional emails, feature updates, or special offers).

6. Disclosure and Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We only share personal data with trusted third-party data processors strictly necessary for providing the Service:
- Cloud Infrastructure Providers: Secure hosting and encrypted storage providers (e.g., Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Firebase).
- AI & OCR Processors: Enterprise-tier AI service providers used to parse receipt images. Content submitted to these enterprise models is processed securely and is not used by third parties to train public AI models.

Your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed on servers located outside of Hong Kong (primarily in the United States and Singapore cloud regions).

We implement robust security measures to safeguard your sensitive financial information:
- Encryption: Data in transit is secured using SSL/TLS protocols. Data at rest (receipt images and database records) is encrypted using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
- OAuth Authentication: We use secure tokenized OAuth authorization for third-party integrations (Google, Xero, QuickBooks). Trackbill never sees or stores your third-party account passwords.
- Access Control: Strictly enforced Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) ensure that only authorized technical staff have access to system infrastructure for maintenance purposes.
