c. Receipt images

If you choose to attach a receipt to a transaction, Budgetie accesses your device camera or photo library (only when you initiate it) to capture or select an image. The receipt image is uploaded to our cloud storage and linked to the corresponding transaction. This feature is entirely optional.
