1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Vault — Expense & Budget Tracker ("Vault," "the app," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the app. It applies to Vault version 1.0.0 and later versions that link to this policy.
This policy does not govern an app store, operating-system provider, device manufacturer, or any other third party. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy terms.
2. Information in Vault
Vault lets you enter and manage information for your own use. The app stores this information locally and does not send it to us.
| Information | Examples | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Financial entries | Transaction amounts, type, date, category, and notes | On your device |
| Planning information | Budgets, savings goals, and custom categories | On your device |
| Preferences | Display name, currency, theme, and onboarding status | On your device |
Information we do not collect
We do not receive your Vault entries, create user profiles, or collect account credentials, precise location, contacts, photos, advertising identifiers, or payment-card or bank-account details. Vault does not use advertising or analytics SDKs.
3. How information is used
Information you enter is processed on your device solely to provide the app's features—for example, calculating balances, organizing transactions, displaying reports, tracking budgets and goals, and remembering your preferences.
We do not use your information for advertising, profiling, automated decision-making, cross-app tracking, or marketing.
5. Storage and retention
Vault stores app data in local storage on your device. It remains there until you delete it, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app. We do not set a separate server-side retention period because we do not receive this data.
Your device or operating-system provider may include app data in a device backup, depending on your device and backup settings. Those backups are controlled by you and the relevant provider, not by Vault.
6. Your choices
- You decide what information to enter in Vault.
- You can edit or delete individual entries in the app.
- You can remove transactions, goals, and budgets using Settings → Clear all data.
- You can remove all locally stored app data by clearing Vault's storage in your device settings or uninstalling the app.
- You can manage device backups through your operating-system or cloud-backup settings.
Because we do not hold your locally stored Vault data, we cannot access, correct, export, or delete it remotely on your behalf.
7. Security
Keeping data on-device limits its exposure, but no storage method is completely secure. Vault relies on your device's application sandbox and the security protections provided by your operating system. You should keep your device software current, use a screen lock, and protect access to your device and backups.
8. Children's privacy
Vault is a general-audience budgeting tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children—or from any user—through an account, analytics service, or developer-run server. If you believe a child has provided information to us outside the app, please contact us.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if Vault's features or legal requirements change. We will revise the effective date above and, when appropriate, provide notice in the app or through its store listing. Material changes apply prospectively from the stated effective date.
10. Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact the Vault developer using the developer contact information shown on the official app store listing from which you downloaded Vault. Please do not send sensitive financial information with your inquiry.
