Privacy Policy

Household Bills is a private, single-owner application that collects one household's utility and service bills into a receipt-style view. It is not offered to the public.
What it accesses
With the owner's explicit consent, the app requests read-only access to the owner's Gmail (the gmail.readonly scope). It searches only for messages from a short list of billing senders and reads those messages to extract amounts, dates and usage figures.
What it stores
The app stores extracted bill details (vendor, month, amount, usage, line items and the last four digits of an account number) on the owner's own server. Full account numbers, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses are removed before storage, and the raw email text is not kept. A Google refresh token is stored on the same server so the app can sync without asking again.
What it shares
Nothing is sold, shared or transferred to third parties. Gmail data is used only to show the owner their own bills and is never used for advertising or to train machine-learning models. Only monthly usage figures (such as therms or kWh) are visible without signing in; everything else requires the owner's password.
Retention and removal
The owner can revoke the app's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions and can delete all stored data by deleting the app's database file.
Compliance
Use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
