4. What the app is for

Amura Mobile is an app for users of the Amura financial-management software. A company representative photographs the company's receipts and other documents and delivers them to the company's bookkeeping. Using the app requires Amura user credentials. The app is not intended for persons under 18 or for consumer use.

5. Data processed

User data

  • Email address, name and user role (credentials created in the Amura service)
  • Password (sent to the server over an encrypted connection at login; the app does not see it afterwards) and, where enabled, the two-factor authentication code
  • Which companies the user has access to

Voucher data

  • Images of receipts and vouchers that the user takes with the camera or selects from the device's photo library
  • Details recognised from the images and checked by the user: merchant, date, total, VAT, cost centre and any note
  • The voucher's processing status in bookkeeping
  • Transactions with a missing receipt shown to the user: date, description, amount and voucher number
  • An explanation written by the user when a receipt has been lost or was never received. The explanation is saved to the transaction's voucher in the bookkeeping.

Receipts may contain personal data (for example the buyer's name, the last digits of a card number or a loyalty-card number). These are processed as part of the company's bookkeeping material.

Company data

Shown in the app, maintained in the Amura service.

  • Company name and Business ID, cost centres
  • The company's sales invoices, customers and products (view only)

Technical data

  • Login session token, stored in the device's secure storage (iOS Keychain / Android Keystore). It is valid for 8 hours, or 30 days if the user chooses "Remember login on this device". The password is not stored on the device.
  • If the user allows notifications: the device's push token, the platform (iOS or Android) and the app language, see section 7a.
  • Receipt images opened from the receipt history are stored in the app's cache so that they need not be downloaded again. They are deleted when the user logs out or the session ends.
  • Opened PDF attachments are stored temporarily in the app's cache so that the device's PDF viewer can show them. They are deleted when the user logs out or the session ends, and at the latest on the app's next launch.
  • Language preference (stored on the device only)
  • Server logs (IP address, timestamp, requested action) for security and troubleshooting. Logs are kept for 6 months.

What the app does not collect: the app contains no analytics, advertising, tracking identifiers or crash reporting. Location is not used. Only the image the user selects is read from the photo library.

6. Purpose and legal basis

  • Receiving, recognising and archiving the vouchers of a company subject to accounting obligations — legal basis: the Amura service agreement with the customer company and the statutory obligations of the Finnish Accounting Act.
  • Identifying the user and managing access rights — contract.
  • Service security, prevention of misuse and troubleshooting — legitimate interest.
  • Reminding about missing receipts by push notification — contract; receiving notifications requires the user's permission on the device.

7. AI-based recognition

Details are recognised automatically from the uploaded receipt image with an AI model so the user does not have to type them. The result is always a suggestion that the user checks and corrects if needed before saving. Recognition uses Google's Gemini model on Google Cloud Vertex AI in the EU/EEA region via the Amura service's server; the app does not send images directly to Google, and Google does not use the images to train its models. Recognition is not used for automated decision-making.

7a. Push notifications

An accountant can remind the company's users about missing receipts with a notification. Notifications are optional: the app asks for permission only when the user chooses to allow them, and the permission can be withdrawn at any time in the device settings.

When notifications are allowed, the app sends the device's push token, the platform (iOS or Android) and the app language to the Amura server. The server links the token to the user's login session. Notifications are sent only while that session is valid. The token is deleted when the user logs out or when Apple or Google reports it as no longer valid. If another user logs in on the device, the token moves to that user.

A notification can appear on the lock screen, so it states only the company's name and the number of missing receipts, never amounts or vendors. It is delivered through Expo's push notification service to Apple's (APNs) or Google's (Firebase Cloud Messaging) service, which delivers it to the device. The server records the sender and time of each reminder and the number of recipients and devices.

The legal basis is the Amura service agreement: the reminder is part of collecting vouchers for the bookkeeping service.

8. Retention

  • Vouchers and the data saved from them are part of the customer company's bookkeeping material and are retained for the period required by the Finnish Accounting Act (vouchers 6 years and accounting books 10 years from the end of the financial year). The material is stored on a server located in Finland. When the customer relationship ends, the material is handed over to the customer company and then deleted from the service provider's server.
  • User credentials are retained for the duration of the customer relationship and access right.
  • The session token expires after 8 hours, or 30 days if login is remembered. The token stored on the device is removed on logout.
  • The push token is kept until the user logs out or Apple or Google reports it as no longer valid. Expo's delivery ticket is deleted within about a day. Records of sent reminders are kept for the duration of the company's customer relationship.
  • The app keeps an image being sent on the device only for the duration of the upload. Images and PDF attachments opened from the receipt history stay in the app's cache until the user logs out or the session ends. The app saves nothing to the device's own photo library.

9. Disclosures and processors

Data is not sold or disclosed for marketing purposes. Processors acting on Friigo's behalf:

  • Server environment: Adalia Oy, servers located in Finland.
  • Google Cloud (Vertex AI, Gemini): AI recognition of the receipt image in the EU/EEA region, see section 7.
  • Expo (Expo, Inc., USA): on launch the app checks Expo's service for app updates. The request carries the app version, operating system and IP address, but no user or voucher data. Expo's push notification service also relays notifications to Apple and Google. A notification it handles contains the push token and the notification text (company name and number of missing receipts).
  • Apple and Google: app store distribution, the operating system's secure storage and delivery of push notifications to the device (Apple Push Notification service, Firebase Cloud Messaging). The stores may collect their own statistics under their own privacy policies.
  • The customer company's own accountant processes the vouchers as part of the bookkeeping service.

10. Transfers outside the EU/EEA

Voucher data is processed within the EU/EEA: the servers are located in Finland and AI recognition runs in the EU region of Vertex AI. Where a processor (for example Expo or Google) is located in the United States, the transfer is based on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and/or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

11. Security

All traffic between the app and the server is encrypted (HTTPS). Voucher images can be retrieved only with a logged-in user's token. Tokens and login details kept on the device are in the operating system's secure storage. Access to server data is limited to named persons bound by confidentiality.

12. Rights of the data subject

The data subject has the right to access their data, request rectification or erasure, restrict or object to processing, and receive their data in a portable format, to the extent permitted by law. Bookkeeping material cannot be erased during the retention period required by the Accounting Act. Requests are addressed to the contact in section 2. The data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman, tietosuoja.fi).

13. Changes

This policy is updated as the app evolves. The current version is always available at this address; material changes are announced in the app.
