Privacy
Bourke St Ledger is a private app one family uses to keep the receipts, bills and Airbnb payouts of their short-stay apartment in one place. Only people on the family’s list can sign in. Last updated 9 Nov 2026.
What the app keeps
From your Google account when you sign in: your name, email address and profile photo. Nothing else from Google.
What you add: photos and PDFs of receipts, bills and payout notices, and the details read from them or typed in (vendor, date, amounts, category, a note).
A record of who added, changed or deleted what, and when, so the family can see the history of each entry.
How Google data is used
Your Google name, email and photo are used only to sign you in and to show who added each entry. If the family’s administrator connects Google Drive for backups, the app can see only the files it creates there, and uses that access only to save nightly copies of the ledger and its documents.
The use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models.
Where it is stored and who processes it
The ledger and the documents are stored with Supabase in Sydney, Australia. The app runs on Vercel, also in Sydney.
To read a receipt, its image is sent to Anthropic’s API, which returns the details. Anthropic’s commercial terms don’t allow it to train its models on this data.
Nothing is shared with anyone else, except exports the family chooses to send to its accountant.
How long it is kept
Entries and their documents are kept for at least five years, as Australian tax records must be. Anything deleted is removed for good after 30 days. Backups stay in the family’s own Google Drive.
Your choices
Ask the administrator to remove your access at any time, or to delete your sign-in details. Write to zack99jr@gmail.com with any question about your data.
