Our hosting provider keeps ordinary server logs (such as time, page address and network address) for a short period under its own policy. Payment records are kept by Stripe as the law requires, and are outside our deletion button.
We do not use your files or results to train or improve any AI model, ours or anyone else's. The AI provider we use processes your files under business terms that likewise do not use them for training.
| Who | For what |
|---|---|
| Anthropic (the Claude AI model) | Reads each receipt and returns the date, vendor, amounts and category. Receives only the files in your job. Under its business terms it may keep inputs and outputs for a limited period for safety review, and does not train on them. |
| Vercel | Hosts this site and stores your files in a private, access-controlled storage area until deletion. |
| Stripe | Takes your payment. Your card details go to Stripe, not to us. |
No people at Dragon Drop look at your files in the normal course of a job. We may look at a specific job only if you ask us for help or to investigate abuse or a technical fault.
This service is built for receipts and invoices. If you drop something more sensitive, such as a tax return, it is handled the same way as everything above, but please only upload documents you are comfortable sending to the processors listed here, and blur or leave out numbers like Social Security numbers that the job does not need.
Files travel over encrypted connections and are stored in a private area that is not reachable by public link. No system is perfectly secure, and we can't promise otherwise.
The separate free explainer page sends the document you drop there to the same AI provider to be explained, is not stored by us, and does not produce a paid job. The same no-training rule applies.
This service is for adults. It is not directed at children under 13.
If we change how long we keep files or who processes them, we will update this page and the date above before the change applies to new jobs.
