Effective Date: June 25, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy applies to LocalVault (hereinafter referred to as “the App”), a local password manager created by an individual developer (hereinafter referred to as “the Service Provider”). The App is free to download with an optional one-time Pro upgrade.

The App is built on a privacy-first foundation — all your data belongs to you, and the Service Provider has no means to access it.

Information Collection

The App does not collect any personal information. Specifically:

• No Analytics Tracking: No analytics, statistics, or telemetry SDKs are integrated
• No Crash Reporting: No crash logs or diagnostic information are collected
• No IP Address Collection: The Service Provider does not collect or log your IP address
• No Usage Statistics: Your page views, session duration, or action history are not tracked
• No Advertising: The App contains no advertisements
• No Third-Party SDKs: No third-party analytics, statistics, or telemetry SDKs are integrated

The App primarily uses Apple native frameworks (SwiftUI, SwiftData, CryptoKit, Security, CloudKit, StoreKit, LocalAuthentication, etc.), all of which operate under Apple’s privacy constraints. Additionally, the leak detection feature sends anonymous queries to a third-party API (HIBP) — see the Leak Detection section for details.

Your Stored Data

The App is a local password manager. When iCloud sync is not enabled, all data you store in the App:

• Stored only on your local device (in the App Group shared container via SwiftData and the file system)
• Inaccessible to the Service Provider: there is no technical means to access your plaintext data

Among your stored data, passwords, notes, secure note content, TOTP keys, and attachment files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage; titles, usernames, website URLs, and category labels are stored in plaintext (needed for search, list display, and AutoFill domain matching — do not store sensitive information in these fields).

If you choose to enable iCloud sync, encrypted data copies will be uploaded to CloudKit (see the iCloud Sync section for details).
