⭐ Privacy Policy — EmoVault

Last updated:04.04.2026

EmoVault (“the App”) is designed as a private emotional space that allows users to write, store, and manage personal messages locally on their device. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, how it is used, and how your privacy is protected.

By using EmoVault, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Data Collection

EmoVault itself does not collect, store, upload, or transmit any personal data to external servers, cloud services, the developer, or any third party.

The App does not use:

• analytics tools

• tracking tools

• remote databases

• user accounts

• cloud sync

All emotional content remains strictly on your device.

2. Advertising (Google AdMob)

EmoVault displays ads provided by Google AdMob.

To show ads, Google may automatically collect basic, non‑sensitive device information, such as:

• device type

• operating system

• approximate location (city-level, not GPS)

• advertising identifier (standard on all Android devices)

• app usage events (e.g., ad views)

Personalization

You may disable personalized ads at any time through your device’s Google settings.

Disabling personalization does not remove ads — it only makes them less tailored.

EmoVault does not have access to any of the data collected by Google.

3. Local Device Access

To provide its core functionality, EmoVault may request access to:

• Contacts (optional)

Used only locally to allow you to select a recipient when sending a message through external apps.

• Contacts are not uploaded

• Contacts are not stored

• Contacts are not shared

• Contacts never leave your device

• Biometric Authentication / Passcode (optional)

Used only to lock the app and protect your content.

No biometric data is collected or transmitted.

4. Data Storage

All content you write inside EmoVault — drafts, notes, unsent messages — is stored locally on your device only.

The App does not:

• sync data to the cloud

• back up your content externally

• access files outside the App

• share your data with any service

If you uninstall the App or reset your device, your data may be permanently lost.

The developer cannot recover or access your information.

Data Deletion: Since EmoVault does not store any of your data on external servers, you can delete all your personal data and messages at any time by:

1. Deleting individual messages within the App.

2. Clearing the App's storage/cache in your device settings.

3. Uninstalling the App.

5. Sending Messages

EmoVault allows you to send messages through external apps such as:

• WhatsApp

• Email

• Any messaging app installed on your device

When you choose to send a message:

• EmoVault only passes the text to the external app

• EmoVault does not track or store what you send

• EmoVault has no control over how external apps handle your data

Please review the privacy policies of those external services separately.

6. Security

EmoVault provides optional security features such as:

• App Lock

• Biometric authentication

• Passcode protection

These features help protect your content, but you are responsible for:

• securing your device

• managing your passcode

• preventing unauthorized access

The developer cannot guarantee protection if your device is compromised.

7. Children’s Privacy

EmoVault is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect or store any data from children.

8. No Third‑Party Sharing

EmoVault does not share any emotional content or personal data with:

• advertisers

• analytics providers

• third‑party companies

• cloud services

• the developer

Your emotional content stays only with you.

The only third‑party interaction is Google AdMob, which handles ads independently and does not receive any content you write inside the App.

9. In‑App Purchases & Billing EmoVault offers a "Permanent PRO" upgrade through Google Play Billing. All transactions are processed securely by Google. The App does not have access to your credit card details or financial information. Your purchase status is linked to your Google Account.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
