The gmail app collects purchase receipts that come to your email account. (or at least it used too).



I believe this is why Amazon no longer includes what you bought in their order status (confirmation, shipped, delivered) emails (an annoying change, imo)


Absolutely annoying but totally important.

They also wanted to eliminate the receipt brokering businesses. A couple of companies were tracking purchases and allowing users to call for refunds when prices suddenly dropped after purchase.

Good comment!
