Why privacy matters for scholarship receipts
Reimbursement files can include children's names, school records, medical or therapy providers, card numbers, bank details, and account screenshots. A privacy-first workflow keeps image reading local and gives families control over what leaves the phone.
What SunshineClaimBuddy does locally
- Runs OCR on-device so receipt images are not uploaded just to extract text.
- Scans extracted text for sensitive patterns before AI review.
- Supports permanent redaction of sensitive areas in a new image file.
- Keeps portal credentials out of the app; families log in manually.
- Stores document files locally on the device.
How this connects to reimbursement prep
After OCR and redaction, SunshineClaimBuddy can use extracted text to help check receipts, proof of payment, categories, and claim readiness. AI analysis uses document text, not receipt images.
