This guide explains what access Fynlo AI Expense needs from your Google account and how your data is kept safe.
We keep this simple and transparent ✅
✅ Why AI Expense Needs Google Access
When you connect Google Drive, Fynlo needs access so it can:
- Scan receipt files
- Read images and PDFs
- Sync new receipts automatically
This lets AI Expense extract important details like:
- Merchant name
- Date
- Amount
- Currency
✅ What AI Expense Can Access
Fynlo can only access:
✅ The specific folder you select during setup
✅ The files inside that folder
Fynlo cannot:
- Access your entire Google Drive
- Open personal folders
- Edit or delete your files
🔍 Permissions You Will See
When connecting your Google account, Google will show a permission screen like:
- “View files you select”
- “See and download your Drive files”
✅ These permissions are required so scanning works properly.
🔒 Is My Google Account Safe?
Yes — your data is protected.
Fynlo:
✅ Uses secure encryption
✅ Does not store your password
✅ Only reads files for scanning
🚫 What Happens If You Don’t Allow Access?
If you click Cancel or deny access:
❌ AI Expense will not work
❌ No receipts can be scanned
❌ Syncing will fail
✅ You can reconnect and allow access anytime.
