Receipt Hog privacy policy explained
Receipt Hog privacy: what happens to your receipt data?
Short answer: Receipt Hog says it protects personal information, but privacy is part of the rewards exchange. Its June 2026 policy says it collects receipt and purchase data for market research, and may share personal information with clients and other third parties. Billig uses receipts for your private spending record instead of rewards or market-research reports.
How the receipt-for-rewards exchange works
Receipt Hog is clear about its exchange. Upload eligible receipts, connect supported accounts, or answer surveys; earn coins, sweepstakes entries, and potential PayPal or gift-card rewards. Its privacy policy also describes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards for personal information.
What Receipt Hog's privacy policy says it collects
The same policy describes a broad data scope, including purchase history, demographics, connected email or merchant-account data, geolocation, receipt images, and inferred preferences. It says information including purchase or receipt data may be shared with clients, whose purchased market-research reports can support consumer segmentation, advertising, or advertising measurement.
How Billig uses receipt data differently
Billig does not offer rewards or operate a consumer panel. It stores receipt records in the EU, does not sell personal data, and uses the records to organize your spending and answer questions from you. Settings provide deletion and an emailed JSON export within your plan limit.

Frequently asked
- Is Receipt Hog private and safe to use?
- Receipt Hog says it uses administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Privacy is still a tradeoff: its policy describes collecting purchase history and other personal information and sharing some information with clients, service providers, affiliates, and advertising services. Read the current policy and decide whether the rewards justify that use for you.
- Does Receipt Hog sell or share receipt data?
- Receipt Hog says clients may purchase market-research reports based on personal information provided in the app, including purchase or receipt information. Its state privacy notices also describe categories that may be sold or shared under applicable state-law definitions and provide opt-out routes for eligible residents.
- Can Receipt Hog connect to email or shopping accounts?
- Yes, optionally. Receipt Hog says users can connect email, loyalty accounts, or supported merchant accounts so it can collect digital shopping history and award rewards.
- Does Billig sell my receipt data?
- No. Billig does not sell personal data or use receipts to create market-research reports. Receipt records are stored in the EU; you can delete them or request an emailed JSON export within your plan limit.
- Does Billig pay me for receipts?
- No, Billig is not a rewards app. Instead of points, you get a private AI assistant that answers questions about your spending.
