Your receipts should stay under your control.

What Tabikin Stores

• Purchase details such as store name, date, item list, totals, tax rate, notes, refund status, refund method, refund company, registration, fee notes, store claim deadline, and a reminder for items of ¥1,000,000 or more before tax.
• Receipt photos and QR code photos.
• Decoded QR values when a QR code is successfully read.
• Trip settings such as departure date, airport, and checklist progress.
• OCR scan text, corrected receipt text, and optional translation text.

Where Your Data Lives

During the current beta, Tabikin stores app data locally in browser/device storage. That means your records stay on YOUR device and browser where you entered them.

If local browser storage is cleared, app data can be lost. That is why the app includes export and restore tools.

Backup Files

If you export a backup, the file may include purchases, receipt photos, QR photos, checklist data, and settings. Anyone who gets that file may be able to see its contents.

Please store backup files somewhere you trust and avoid sharing them publicly.

OCR and Translation

Tabikin includes experimental OCR and translation assistance. Depending on the version and device, those features may require internet access or may rely on browser-supported tools or third-party services.

Receipt OCR can be inaccurate, especially with Japanese receipts, glare, curved paper, poor focus, or unusual layouts. Always review suggested values manually.

Trip Pass

Trip Pass is an optional paid upgrade. The free tools keep working without it, and purchases stay in local storage on your device either way. Checkout is a one-time Stripe Payment Link. Stripe is the merchant of record, and card details stay with Stripe. After payment, or if you restore a pass by the email used at checkout, this app sends a checkout session id or that email, plus a device id stored on this device, to Tabikin’s own server. That server asks Stripe whether the payment is paid and whether the price is a Trip Pass, then returns a signed pass that stays on this device. Tabikin does not receive your payment card.

No Account Required

The current beta does not ask for a login, passport number, or payment card information. Trip Pass restore asks for the email used at Stripe checkout so a purchase can be found. Please avoid putting sensitive personal information into notes unless you are comfortable storing it locally on your own device and backups.

Children’s Privacy

Tabikin is intended for travelers managing their own shopping and refund tracking. It is not designed for children under 13.
