Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 July 2026 · Applies to the Telegram bot @abbassakbot and to this website.

1) Who is responsible

Abbas the Accountant is built by DT+, a Sudanese agency. Any request about your data goes to them: +249 912 816 697, or /support inside the bot.

2) What we collect

• Your Telegram id and display name, and your phone number only if you choose to share it — the service works without it.
• Your ledger: shop name and type, transactions (amount, type, category, date, notes), the bank accounts you register, and the counterparty names you enter yourself.
• The fields read from your transfer screenshots: amount, transaction reference, date, bank name.
• When a reading needs a human's eye — a bank screen we have no reader for, or a field our reader dropped — we keep the receipt screenshot itself together with the raw text extracted from it (as-is, including any names and account numbers printed on it), so we can make the reader better. Deleting your ledger deletes both.
• If you upload a receipt in the app: we keep the picture on our servers only while it is being read, so that a reading which does not finish in time can be finished for you later even if you closed the app. It is deleted as soon as the reading ends, or you type the amount yourself, or you cancel — and in every case within a day.
• Usage counters, so we can apply your plan's limits.
• If you subscribe on this site: the transfer reference, amount and plan, plus the identifier and contact you provide.
• If you turn notifications on: we keep your browser's notification address (an address given to you by Google, Mozilla or Apple) so we can reach you. The notification itself carries no detail about the receipt — no amount, no name, no account number — only that something is waiting. You can turn notifications off in the app at any time, and the address is deleted.
• On your phone, not on our servers: if you photograph a receipt with no connection, the picture is stored by the app on your own phone until it can be sent, and removed from there once it has. The app also remembers your name and your ledgers' names on the phone so the camera still works offline — all of it is cleared when you log out.

Most images you send to the bot are not stored on our servers — we keep a Telegram reference so we can show them back to you. There are three exceptions, all described above: the payment screenshot you upload on the subscription page, which we store as proof of payment; a receipt screenshot whose reading needed checking, which we store to improve the reader; and a receipt you upload in the app while its reading is still running, which is deleted as soon as that reading ends. We do not collect your location and we use no tracking cookies.

3) Why we collect it

• To provide the service itself: reading receipts, keeping the ledger, reports, reconciliation.
• To apply your plan's limits and activate your subscription.
• To answer your questions and protect the service from abuse.

4) Who your data reaches

To run the service we rely on technical providers for hosting and text recognition, and we share with them only what that task requires. We do not sell your data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not hand it to any third party unless legally compelled.

5) How long we keep it

• Your ledger: for as long as your account is active — it is your history, and deleting it automatically would cost you that history.
• Usage counters and message queues: automatically deleted after a short period.
• Abuse-prevention records: we do not store your IP address at all. What we keep is an irreversible keyed fingerprint of it, which cannot be turned back into an address by us or by anyone else, and it is used only to count attempts and stop abuse.
• The payment screenshot: we keep it until you ask us to delete it — and asking deletes it. It is not deleted automatically after any period: it is the record of the transfer your subscription was paid by, and we also use it to improve how accurately we read receipts.
• The subscription request itself: the number you typed, the contact you left and the transfer reference are kept as the financial record of the transfer until you ask us to delete it, and asking deletes it.
• Your notification address: kept for as long as notifications are on. It is deleted the moment you turn them off in the app, or when your browser tells us it is no longer valid, or when your account is deleted.
• Your receipt screenshots and the text read from them: when a reading needs a human's eye — a layout we have no template for, or a field the reader dropped — we keep the receipt screenshot and the text read from it so we can improve reading accuracy. These are kept with no fixed time limit, and all of it — image and text — is deleted at once with your ledger if you ask.
• A receipt still being read (from the app): it stays with us only while the reading is running, and is deleted as soon as the reading ends, or you type the amount yourself, or you cancel — in every case within one day. If that reading turned out to need checking, a copy is kept under the line above, on the terms stated there.

6) Your rights

• A copy of your data: export your whole ledger as CSV from the bot's settings at any time, without asking anyone.
• Correction: you can edit or delete any transaction yourself from the transaction list.
• Erasure: ask for your ledger and account to be deleted via /support, and we delete it.
• Deleting a subscription request: ask through /support or the contact you left on the request, and quote either your phone number or the transfer reference you entered on the form — we will find the request and delete it, together with the payment screenshot, even if it was never linked to any ledger.
• Withdrawing your phone number: delete it yourself in the bot: Settings (الإعدادات) → «📱 رقم تلفوني» → «🗑 امسح رقمي»; the service keeps working without it. That clears the number from your profile; a number you typed into a subscription request is part of a financial record — delete it through the item above.

7) Security and changes

All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS) and access to your data is limited to the DT+ team under restricted permissions. The service is intended for adults (18+). If we change something material we will update this page and announce it inside the bot; the last-updated date is always shown above.
