Privacy

Effective date: November 9, 2026

MoneyStaple is operated by Christopher Robinson, operating as MoneyStaple, Fuquay-Varina, NC.

What we collect (when forms are enabled)

• Tester sign-up: email (required); name, ZIP, and stores you shop (optional); consent to email you about testing; confirmation you are 18 or older.
• Grocery lists: The interactive demo processes your list in your browser and does not send the list to our servers. Pilot list submission is off on this build.
• Receipt photos (when enabled): image files you upload, optional email/notes, and consent. See Receipt photos below.
• Technical: short-lived rate-limit keys derived from connection data to stop abuse (not for marketing). We overwrite them on a rolling basis and do not keep raw IP addresses in our application tables.

Demo and submissions

The interactive demo on this site processes your list in your browser and does not send the list to our servers. If you later submit a grocery list or prices for the pilot, we may use and display item prices (not your name or email) to improve coverage and show estimates to other users.

How we store it (planned)

When forms are enabled after approval, text submissions will be stored in Cloudflare D1 via a Cloudflare Worker. Receipt images will be stored in Cloudflare R2, with metadata in D1. Hosting is Cloudflare only. Forms on this local build are disabled and do not send or store data yet.

Who we share with

We do not sell your information. We use service providers to run the site, including Cloudflare (hosting, forms Worker, database, and receipt file storage). They process data only to provide those services to us. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the service or users. There are no affiliate links on this site.

Analytics

We use a self-hosted, non-PII analytics stub only (event names in the browser for testing). There is no third-party analytics vendor, and no tracking cookies or storage from analytics scripts. Pasted lists, names, emails, full ZIPs, and receipt contents are never sent to analytics.

Receipt photos

Phone photos can include location data. Turn off location for photos or upload a screenshot or crop instead.

For PDF or emailed receipts, remove or cover your email, address, phone, and order/account numbers.

Before you upload, cover or crop your name, card numbers, loyalty/member numbers, phone, email, and street address. We still review every receipt by hand during the pilot and delete or further redact anything left on it. We do not use an outside OCR service for this pilot.

Receipt images are kept only long enough for a team member to review and type item, size, price, store, and date. We delete receipt images within 7 days of upload (or sooner after typing). We keep only the structured item prices used in MoneyStaple, not the original photo.

Images (for example JPEG/PNG/WebP/HEIC) or PDF, with a planned size limit around 10 MB when live.

When the upload form is live, the browser re-encodes JPEG/PNG/WebP through a canvas before upload, which drops typical photo metadata (EXIF/GPS). HEIC/HEIF is not re-encoded in the browser; those files (and any JPEG that still contains EXIF) are flagged for manual review. We do not implement server-side HEIC metadata stripping. PDFs are always manually reviewed for personal details.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate for a small pilot (access limited to the team, HTTPS, storage with our providers). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Retention and deletion

To request deletion of your sign-up, list, or receipt records, email hello@moneystaple.com. We will verify the request with the email on the record and process it as soon as practical. We do not promise a fixed number of days.

Children

MoneyStaple is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 submitted information, contact us and we will delete it. You must be at least 18 to use MoneyStaple or submit tester information.

Automated decisions

We do not make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

Changes

We may update this policy. We will post the new effective date on this page.
