Your bills, kept to yourself

Factura is a bill ledger: you upload utility-bill PDFs and it keeps a private, per-property history of your spending. This page explains what data that involves, where it lives, and how to remove it.

The guiding principle is restraint. Factura stores what it needs to show you your ledger and nothing more — there are no ads, no tracking profiles, and your bills are never sold or shared with anyone you haven't personally invited. Factura is open source, so you can read exactly how your data is handled, or run your own copy.

The data Factura keeps falls into a few groups:

• Account — your email address, and (if you sign in with Google) your name and avatar. That's the whole identity we hold. There is no password — see Security.
• Bills — the PDFs you upload, the text extracted from them, and the fields parsed out (vendor, amount, billing period, due date, and any meter readings or consumption figures). The original file is kept so a bill can be re-parsed later.
• Properties & vendors — the property nicknames and addresses you enter, and the vendor accounts your bills are filed under.
• Parser samples — if you build a custom parser, the sample bill text you attach to it is saved (scoped to your account only) so the parser can be re-tested when you edit it.
• Technical — a session cookie to keep you signed in, and ordinary server logs. Factura sets no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Your data is used only to run the product you asked for:

• Parsing your bills and keeping your ledger, totals and insights up to date.
• Estimating a USD value alongside the peso amount, using a public exchange-rate feed.
• Sending transactional email — a sign-in code, a one-time welcome, and a notification when someone shares a property with you.

Factura does not profile you, run behavioural analytics, or use your bill contents for anything beyond showing them back to you.

A bill's text is extracted in your browser; that text and the original PDF are then sent to Factura, parsed, and stored. Structured data (your account, bills, properties and parsed fields) lives in a managed PostgreSQL database. Original PDFs are kept in S3-compatible object storage, encrypted at rest by the storage provider and stored under keys namespaced to your account.

Files are never served from a public URL — the “View PDF” link generates a short-lived, signed link each time, so access always passes through an authorization check. The USD “blue” rate comes from a public Argentine exchange-rate API; no personal data is sent to it.

Factura relies on a small set of infrastructure providers to operate. They process data on Factura's behalf and only to deliver their part of the service:

• Google — optional sign-in (OAuth). Used only if you choose “Continue with Google”.
• Resend — delivery of transactional email (sign-in codes, welcome, share invites).
• Object-storage & hosting providers — store your PDFs and run the application and database.
• argentinadatos.com — the public exchange-rate feed; receives no personal data.

The exact providers depend on the deployment — if you self-host, you choose them yourself.

A property can have more than one member. When you invite someone by email, that invitation reveals the property's nickname to them and lets them accept or decline. Once they join, they can see the ledger for that property only — never your other properties.

Members can leave, and owners can remove members or revoke pending invites, at any time.

Your data stays until you remove it, and removal is real:

• Delete a bill — removes its ledger entry and its stored PDF together. No hidden copy is kept.
• Delete a property — tears down its bills, vendors, accounts and stored files in one go.
• Delete your account — contact us (below) and we will remove your account and associated data.

Backups and logs may persist for a short, rolling window before they age out.

Your bills are yours. You can view and edit them, export the underlying PDFs at any time, and delete any bill, property, or your whole account. For access or deletion requests we can't already do from the app, reach out and we'll help.

Factura is a tool for managing household bills and is not directed at children. Don't use it if you are under the age of digital consent in your country.

If this policy changes materially, the “last updated” date above will change and significant updates will be noted in the project history. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised policy.
