Privacy Policy

Overview

Vaultaire is a private photo vault app designed with zero-knowledge architecture. Your files are encrypted on your device using a key derived from your pattern. We cannot access, view, or recover your data.

Data We Do Not Collect

• Your photos, videos, or files — all data is encrypted on-device and never leaves your phone unencrypted.
• Your pattern or encryption keys — these are derived locally and wiped from memory when you lock the app.
• Your recovery phrase — stored only in your device's Secure Enclave.
• Your name, email, or account information — Vaultaire requires no account to use.

Analytics (Opt-In Only)

During onboarding, you are asked whether you'd like to help improve Vaultaire by sharing anonymous usage data. This is entirely optional. If you consent:

• TelemetryDeck collects anonymous usage signals (e.g., which screens are visited, feature adoption). No device identifiers, IP addresses, or personal data are collected. Data cannot be traced back to you. TelemetryDeck's privacy policy.
• Sentry collects crash reports and performance data to help us fix bugs. Crash reports may include device model, OS version, and stack traces. No personal content is ever included. Sentry's privacy policy.

You can change your analytics preference at any time in the app's Settings.

iCloud Backup

If you enable iCloud Backup in settings, your encrypted vault data is uploaded to your personal iCloud account. The data remains encrypted with your pattern-derived key. We do not have access to your iCloud account or the uploaded data. Apple's iCloud terms apply to this storage.

Vault Sharing

When you share a vault via link, the encrypted data is transmitted through Apple's CloudKit infrastructure. The share link contains the decryption phrase in the URL fragment (after the #), which never reaches our servers. Only the intended recipient with the full link can decrypt the shared vault.

In-App Purchases

Vaultaire offers a premium subscription through Apple's App Store. All purchase transactions are handled by Apple. We do not collect or store your payment information. Apple's terms and privacy policy govern these transactions.

Third-Party Services

• Apple CloudKit — used for vault sharing and iCloud backup (encrypted data only)
• Apple StoreKit — used for in-app purchase processing
• TelemetryDeck — anonymous analytics (opt-in only)
• Sentry — crash reporting (opt-in only)

Children's Privacy

Vaultaire does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. The app does not require an account or collect any personal data.
