Privacy Policy for EventVault
Last updated: 2026
EventVault is an archive of things that happened to you. An archive is only worth building if you can trust where it sits. This document describes, plainly, what the app does with what you put into it.
The short answer
There is no account to open, no password to choose, and no server of ours holding a copy of anything you build. Your vaults live on your iPhone or iPad: the titles and dates, the photographs, the people you name, the recordings you make and the reasons you write down. We never see any of it. One feature reaches outside the device, it is described in full below, and it runs only when you press the button that starts it.
What the app never asks for
EventVault does not request your name, your email address, your phone number, or your date of birth. It does not read your contacts. It does not read your location. It does not carry an analytics library, a crash-reporting service, an advertising identifier, or a tracking pixel of any kind. There is no behaviour to measure because nothing is being measured.
AI suggestions, and the one request that leaves your device
EventVault contains one artificial-intelligence feature. On the screen for a place you have been, it can suggest other places nearby that are worth a detour. Pressing that button is the only moment the app speaks to anything outside your device, and it is the only part of the app that uses AI at all.
What is sent is one short line: the name of the place, its city and its country, together with the names of places you already keep in the same city so that the same spots are not offered back to you as discoveries. It goes to OpenAI, whose AI service composes the answer using the model gpt-4o-mini, and the reply returns directly to the app.
That is the whole request. No vault, photograph, video, voice recording, person, keepsake or written reflection is included, and nothing in it identifies you — there is no account, no device identifier and no name attached. A notice setting all of this out appears before the feature is used for the first time, and nothing is transmitted until you accept it. Declining leaves every other part of the app working exactly as it did.
The suggestions that come back are stored on your device alongside the rest of the archive, and can be removed from the same screen that produced them. What happens on OpenAI's side is governed by their own privacy policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy
Where the archive is kept
Every vault you build is written into the app's own private container on the device: the titles and dates, the notes and reflections, the people and places, the tickets and certificates you record, the photographs and videos you import, and the voice recordings you make. Imported media is copied into that container so the app can display it without reaching back into your photo library. All of it stays inside the sandbox that iOS gives this app, which no other app on the device can read.
Photographs, videos and the microphone
Two system permissions are used, and both only at the moment you ask for them.
When you add media to a vault, iOS shows its own picker. The app receives only the specific items you choose in that picker; it is never handed your library. If you decline the permission, every other part of EventVault continues to work, and vaults simply hold no media.
When you record a voice memory, the microphone runs for the length of that recording and the audio file is saved into the app's container. It is not streamed anywhere and not transcribed by any service. Declining microphone access removes voice memories and leaves the rest of the app untouched.
The map
The Map tab draws pins from the places you typed into your own vaults. It does not read the device's location, and no request for location access is ever made.
Removing what you have kept
Deleting a vault deletes its media, recordings and keepsakes with it. Saved suggestions can be forgotten from the place screen that produced them. The Settings screen can clear the entire archive in one action. Deleting EventVault from the device removes the container and everything in it. Because we hold no copy, there is nothing on our side to request, correct, or erase, and no form to fill in to make that happen. Requests for suggestions are not retained by us either, as they never pass through us.
Children
EventVault is a general-audience app and is not directed at children under 13. As no personal information is gathered from anyone, none is knowingly gathered from a child.
Revisions
If this policy changes, the revised version will ship with the app update that changes it, and the date at the top will move. Continued use after an update means the current version applies.
