Terms of Service

Effective Date: 19th April 2025

1. Introduction and Parties

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and the Developer, established in Italy ("we," "us," or "our"), regarding the use of the SilentSaver mobile application ("App").

2. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must not use the App. 

3. Description of Service

SilentSaver is a password management application that provides the following functionalities:

• Local storage of encrypted credentials and related information on your device

• Creation and management of entries for various accounts

• Export and import capabilities for encrypted data in JSON format

• Optional data breach verification through third-party services

• Optional biometric authentication using device-supported methods

The App ensures that all sensitive data is securely encrypted before being stored locally on your device. We use Fernet encryption, a symmetric encryption method based on AES-128 in CBC mode with HMAC for integrity verification. Your data is encrypted using a key derived from your master password, ensuring that only you can decrypt and access your stored information. Please be aware that if you forget your master password, it can't be recovered and you cannot access your data anymore.

While all data within this application is encrypted on your device, please be aware that no encryption method can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any unauthorized access or tampering with data stored on your device or in any exported JSON files. 

4. User Rights and Responsibilities

4.1 User Rights

In accordance with EU regulations, you have the right to:

• Access and use the App in accordance with these Terms

• Export your data in a structured, commonly used format (JSON)

• Terminate use of the App at any time

• Receive prompt notification of any material changes to these Terms

4.2 User Responsibilities

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your master password

• Creating and maintaining backups of your stored data

• Ensuring the security of your device and its biometric authentication systems

• Using the App in compliance with applicable laws and regulations

The security of your stored data relies on the strength of your master password, which is used to derive the encryption key. The App utilizes Fernet encryption (AES-128-CBC with HMAC for integrity verification) to protect your data, but if your master password is weak or compromised, it could become easier for unauthorized parties to decrypt or tamper with your stored data. You are solely responsible for choosing a strong and unique master password and keeping it confidential. We do not store or have any access to your master password, and we cannot recover your encrypted data if the master password is lost.

4.3 Prohibited Activities

You must not:

• Use the App for any unlawful purposes

• Attempt to circumvent the App's security features

• Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App

• Transfer your rights under these Terms to any third party

• Use the App in any manner that could damage or impair its functionality

5. Data Protection and Privacy

The processing of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable EU data protection laws. 

6. Intellectual Property Rights

The App, including all content, features, and functionality, is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws of the European Union and Italy. These rights remain exclusively with the Developer.

7. Third-Party Services

7.1 Data Breach Verification Services

The App may integrate with third-party services (XposedOrNot and HaveIBeenPwned) for data breach verification. These services are subject to their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services' practices or policies.

7.2 Distribution Platform

Your use of the App through Google Play Store is also subject to Google's terms of service and policies.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable EU law, the App is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free. However, this does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer under EU law.

9. Limitation of Liability 

9.1. General:

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law (including, without limitation, the Italian Civil Code and the consumer protection laws of the European Union), our total liability to you for any cause whatsoever and regardless of the form of the action (contract, tort, including negligence, strict liability or otherwise) will be limited as set forth in this Clause 9.

9.2. Mandatory Exclusions:

Nothing in these Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for:

• Willful misconduct on our part.

• Death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

• Loss of profits, revenue, business, or opportunities.

• Loss of or corruption of data or information.

• Business interruption.

• Any indirect, consequential, special, punitive, or incidental damages.

This limitation applies to damages arising from or relating to:

9.4. Specific User Acknowledgments:

You specifically acknowledge that:

• You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your master password.

• We cannot recover your master password or encrypted data if you lose access to them.

• Biometric data is managed exclusively by the device OS and is not stored or accessed by the App; device manufacturers/OEMs bear ultimate responsibility for biometric sensor security.

• We have no access to or control over the data you store in the App.

• You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of your stored data, as the App does not provide remote or cloud backup services.

10. Modifications
