Getting Started & Basics
What is Impfo?
Impfo (short for Important Information) is your all-in-one digital household wallet. It allows you to store, manage and track warranties, purchase receipts, service logs, and repair histories for your appliances and electronics — so you have proof of coverage exactly when you need it.
Is the Impfo app free to download and use?
Yes. The core Impfo app is 100% free for individual consumers, homeowners,
and renters. You can scan, store, and receive warranty expiration notifications
for all your household items without any fee for downloading.
What kind of items can I track in Impfo?
You can track virtually any asset with a receipt or warranty, including:
Major Whitegoods & Kitchen Appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers,
ovens, microwave units)
Laundry Equipment (washing machines, heat pump dryers)
Home Electronics & AV (OLED TVs, soundbars, gaming consoles, home
theater setups)
Personal Tech & Computing (laptops, smartphones, tablets,
smartwatches)
Power Tools & Outdoor Equipment (lawnmowers, pressure washers,
power drills)
HVAC Systems (air conditioners, heat pumps, water heaters)
Why do I need Impfo when I already have paper receipts?
Paper receipts printed on thermal paper fade rapidly — often within 6 to 12 months — leaving you with a blank piece of paper when an appliance breaks down 2 years later. Paper gets misplaced, destroyed, or lost during home moves. Impfo creates an unalterable, high-resolution digital backup stored safely in the cloud, accessible anytime from your phone
Scanning & OCR Receipt Capture
How does the receipt scanning feature work?
Impfo uses advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) text extraction
technology. When you take a photo of a physical receipt or invoice:
Impfo automatically crops and enhances the image readability.
The AI extracts the Store/Retailer Name, Product Name, Model Number,
Purchase Date, and Total Price.
It pre-fills the warranty details so you don't have to manually type long
serial codes.
Can I upload digital receipts (PDFs or email invoices)?
Yes. You can upload PDF invoices directly from your files or forward digital email receipts from online stores (e.g., Amazon) straight into the app.
What if the receipt image is blurry or very faded?
If an old receipt is heavily faded or crumpled, our OCR engine will extract as much text as possible. You can manually tweak or edit any missing text field (such as a model or serial number) before saving the item profile.
Do I need to enter serial numbers manually?
While purchase receipts often display model numbers, serial numbers are usually located on a physical sticker on the back or inside of your appliance. We strongly recommend taking a quick photo of the barcode/serial sticker via the Impfo camera tool—it attaches directly to the item's digital profile.
Multi-Part Warranties & Notifications
What is a "Multi-Part Warranty" and why does Impfo use it?
Most appliance manufacturers split warranties into distinct layers to minimise their liability. For example, a refrigerator might have:
1 Year of full in-home labor coverage.
3 Years of electrical and general parts coverage.
10 Years of sealed inverter compressor parts coverage. Standard warranty trackers only let you pick one expiration date. Impfo is built specifically for multi-part warranties, tracking each component timeline
concurrently under a single item profile so you never pay out-of-pocket unnecessarily.
How will Impfo notify me when a warranty is ending?
Impfo sends proactive smart push notifications and email reminders:
30 Days Before Expiration: A friendly heads-up to check appliance health.
15 Days Before Expiration: A reminder to report any existing glitches to the manufacturer under warranty before coverage ends.
1 Day Before Expiration: Final countdown alerts.
Can I extend my warranty inside the app?
No. When a standard manufacturer warranty is nearing its expiration date, if you wish you extend the warranty, you can approach the retailer from who you bought or any warranty provider, allowing you to maintain continuous coverage with one tap.
Repairs, Service History & Technicians
How does the Repair & Service Log feature work?
Every appliance profile has a dedicated Service History ledger. When you have a technician service or repair an item:
You can record the date, technician name, repair invoice, and work done.
In future, when independent repair technicians partner with Impfo, they will be able to upload digital service logs and replacement part verification codes straight into your item profile.
How does service history help if I want to sell or move?
A well-documented service history proves to future buyers (or home buyers) that your appliances were well-maintained. You can export a clean PDF "Appliance Health Certificate" or transfer the digital profile directly to the new owner, boosting your resale value on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or eBay.
What should I do if my appliance breaks down under warranty?
Open the item in Impfo and select the relevant product. You'll see your warranty status, receipt proof and model details on screen. If it is within active warranty, call the manufacturer's or retailer’s warranty claim hotline or open their online service portal. Your receipt image and serial number are right in front of you to quote instantly.
Data Security, Privacy & Cloud Storage
How secure is my personal and financial information?
We take privacy and security extremely seriously:
Encryption: All stored receipts, user data, and documents are encrypted
using AES-256 bit encryption in transit and at rest.
Data Privacy: Impfo never sells your personal credit card details or
unmasked identity to third parties.
Sandboxed Storage: Your uploaded documents sit in isolated, protected
cloud environments.
What happens to my data if I lose or upgrade my phone?
Your data is tied securely to your cloud account. Simply download Impfo on your new device and log in — all your scanned receipts, active warranty timers, and service logs will sync instantly.
Can I export my receipts for tax or insurance purposes?
Yes. You can select multiple items and export a consolidated ZIP file of high-res receipt images or generate a formatted PDF / CSV summary report. This is ideal for home contents insurance claims, tax deductions, or property rental management.

Renewals, Refunds & Disputes
Does my subscription automatically renew?
No, Impfo subscriptions do not auto-renew. We never charge your payment method unexpectedly. You will receive an alert 30 days before your active subscription period expires, giving you the choice to manually renew and continue enjoying full access .
What happens if I don't renew my subscription?
If you choose not to renew before the expiration date, your paid access will automatically cease at the end of the current term. Your account will simply revert to our Impfo Basic plan limits, and you will never receive unexpected charges.
Can I cancel my subscription or get a refund during the cooling-off period?
Because subscriptions require manual activation, do not automatically renew, and provide immediate full access to features upon purchase, all subscription sales are final. There is no cooling-off cancellation period or pro-rated refund once a plan has been purchased.
What if I was charged incorrectly or experienced a billing error?
If you believe a technical glitch or duplicate transaction occurred during checkout, please contact our support team at support@impfo.ai with your transaction receipt. We review genuine technical and billing discrepancies promptly.
How do I raise a dispute regarding my subscription?
If you encounter any issues with plan access or feature availability, reach out to us directly through the in-app help centre or via email at support@impfo.ai. Please include your registered account email and purchase details so our team can resolve your dispute directly.
