The following Privacy Policy applies to Private Photo Vault ("we", "us", "our", or the "App").
This Privacy Policy describes our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, storage, and disclosure of information when you use Private Photo Vault.
Private Photo Vault is designed to help users hide, organize, and protect their private photos and videos on their Android devices.
By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
When you use our App, we may process certain information that is necessary to provide the App's features, maintain its functionality, improve performance, and provide advertising services where applicable.
The App may request access to photos and videos on your device to provide its core vault functionality.
This access allows you to select, import, hide, organize, view, and restore photos and videos within the App.
Your photos and videos are used to provide the functionality requested by you. We do not sell your private photos or videos to third parties.
Unless a specific feature clearly states otherwise, we do not intentionally upload your private photos or videos to our servers.
The App may support biometric authentication, including fingerprint or other supported biometric methods, to protect access to your private vault.
Biometric authentication is handled by the Android operating system and compatible device hardware. The App does not receive or store your fingerprint, face scan, or other biometric information.
The App only receives the authentication result provided by the operating system.
The App may request access to your camera or microphone when you choose to use features that require camera or audio functionality, such as capturing photos or recording videos.
Camera and microphone access is used only when the relevant feature is actively used and the required permission has been granted.
The App does not continuously access your camera or microphone in the background.
We may automatically collect certain technical and usage information to provide and improve our Service, including:
Android platform information
Operating system version
App version
Device model
Device manufacturer
Device language
Screen resolution
Device configuration
Feature interactions and clicks
App usage information
Crash and diagnostic information
Technical performance information
This information may be used to understand how the App is used, identify technical issues, improve functionality, and maintain App performance.
Certain App features may use device connectivity information or related system functionality when required to provide supported features.
Such information is used only for the relevant functionality and is not intentionally used to determine your precise physical location for advertising purposes.
If advertisements are displayed in the App, we may use the Google Advertising ID or other advertising-related identifiers provided by Android.
Advertising identifiers may be used by advertising partners to deliver, measure, and improve advertisements and to support personalized advertising where permitted by applicable settings and laws.
You can manage advertising and privacy settings through your Android device and Google account settings.
If you contact us through our support section or by email, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide, such as your email address, name if provided, device information, app version, and details of your request.
This information is used to respond to your request, provide technical support, investigate issues, and improve our Service.
The App may use third-party services that may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies.
These services may include:
Google Play Services
Google AdMob
Google Analytics for Firebase
Firebase Crashlytics
These services may process technical, advertising, analytics, or diagnostic information required to provide their respective services.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party service providers for more information about their data practices.
We may use information processed through the App for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain our Service
To provide photo and video vault functionality
To allow you to hide, view, organize, and restore private media
To provide biometric authentication
To provide camera and audio-related features when requested
To maintain App security and functionality
To monitor and improve App performance
To diagnose crashes and technical problems

To prevent misuse and protect the Service
To comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not use your private photos or videos for advertising purposes.
We do not sell your personal information or private photos and videos to third parties.
We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers when necessary to operate, maintain, analyze, or improve the App.
We may work with service providers that support advertising, analytics, crash reporting, application performance monitoring, customer support, and technical infrastructure.
These service providers may process information according to their respective services and privacy policies.
We may transfer information in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or other business transaction involving all or part of our business.
We may disclose information where required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, governmental request, or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, safety, property, users, or the public.
We may disclose information for other purposes when you have provided your consent.
Private Photo Vault is designed to provide private media management on your Android device.
Photos and videos that you import into the vault are managed according to the App's functionality and storage behavior.
Unless a specific feature explicitly states otherwise, your private photos and videos are not intentionally uploaded to our servers.
Because vault content may be stored locally on your device, you should maintain appropriate backups of important personal content where applicable.
Deleting the App, clearing App data, resetting your device, changing device storage, or other actions affecting the device may result in the loss of locally stored vault content.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain the security and functionality of our Service.
Information processed by third-party services may be retained according to their respective privacy policies and retention practices.
Locally stored photos and videos remain on your device according to the App's storage behavior and your actions.
The security of your personal information is important to us.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information processed through our Service.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
Therefore, while we strive to protect your information using commercially reasonable measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We recommend using appropriate device security measures, such as a screen lock, PIN, password, or biometric authentication.
The App may request access to certain device features when required to provide its functionality.
These permissions may allow the App to access photos and videos, use biometric authentication, use the camera or microphone, provide haptic feedback, or support certain device connectivity features.
Permissions are used only for their intended App functionality.
You can manage or revoke available permissions through your Android device settings. Restricting a permission may prevent the associated feature from functioning correctly.
Our Service is not directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services.
If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's website.
These external websites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of every third-party website or service you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of third-party websites or services.
Private Photo Vault is subject to continuous development.
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to update, modify, suspend, or remove features of the App.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability of the Service.
The App may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, technical difficulties, updates, device limitations, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
Where appropriate, we may also provide additional notice through the App or other reasonable communication methods.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
Changes to this Privacy Policy become effective when they are posted on this page.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the support or contact information provided in the App or on our official support page.
