RECEIPT CAPTURE V1.03 - PUBLIC RELEASE
======================================

Receipt Capture is a free local receipt-capture utility intended to help
people organize receipts for insurance claims and other documentation.

PRIVACY
-------
Receipt Capture does not require a cloud service. Photos are sent directly
from the paired smart phone to the computer over the local Wi-Fi network. Use
only a private Wi-Fi network you trust; do not use public/shared guest Wi-Fi.
The dashboard and exports are restricted to the computer itself, and the
smart phone uses a temporary pairing token that changes whenever the app is
restarted. State-changing dashboard actions also use a separate temporary
local session token.

Files are stored under the current user's Documents/ReceiptCapture folder.
If your operating system or another application syncs Documents to a cloud
service such as OneDrive or iCloud, your own sync settings may still apply.
Receipt Capture does not control those operating-system sync services. Consider
BitLocker/device encryption on Windows or FileVault on macOS for data at rest.

IMPORTANT
---------
Always verify merchant, receipt date, amount, category, and submission status
before sending an insurance package. OCR is an aid and can make mistakes.

Receipt Capture is provided free of charge and AS-IS, without warranty. It is
not legal, insurance, tax, financial, or disaster-recovery advice and is not
affiliated with any insurance company or Interac Corp.

DONATIONS
---------
Donations are entirely optional. If the program saved you some time during a
difficult period, an INTERAC e-Transfer may be sent from your own Canadian
online/mobile banking service to:

    ed.chyzowski@gmail.com

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
----------------------
I truly hope you and your family are safe. I understand that dealing with a
wildfire evacuation or insurance loss can be a terrible and stressful time.
My hope is that Receipt Capture saves you some administrative time so you can
spend more of it with your family.

Please also be patient with your claims adjuster. They are doing the best they
can to work through your claim with you, and they understand some of the stress
you are going through.
