Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using PrivateVault PRO, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the app.

App Description

PrivateVault PRO is a fully offline encrypted vault app for Android, published by Privatepappain. It helps you store, view, and manage personal files locally on your device, with no cloud accounts, telemetry, ads, or network permission. The app uses industry-standard AES-256 encryption in GCM mode; encryption keys are generated and stored securely on your device using key derivation functions like PBKDF2 or Argon2. This local-only architecture means your files are never transmitted off your device.

Some advanced viewing, scanning, and document features depend on bundled native components such as PDFium and OpenCV.

Purchase

PrivateVault PRO is a paid app distributed through Google Play. Pricing, taxes, payment, and refunds are handled by Google Play under its own terms. Please review Google Play's refund policy before purchasing.

Limitations

PrivateVault PRO cannot guarantee that every file type will preview or render perfectly. Unsupported, corrupted, extremely large, unusual, or password-protected files may fail to open, preview, or process. Scan-related features depend on image quality, lighting, document angle, and supported native components.

Screenshot protection and app obfuscation reduce risk but cannot provide absolute protection against rooted devices, compromised systems, external cameras, screen mirroring bypasses, malware, or advanced reverse engineering.

PrivateVault PRO does not provide cloud recovery, server-side password reset, or developer recovery access. If a vault password is forgotten or lost, encrypted files may be permanently inaccessible.

Encryption itself does not damage files. The real risk is an interrupted or incomplete write — caused by the phone powering off, storage running out, the app being force-closed, or cleaner apps modifying vault data. PrivateVault PRO uses authenticated encryption, which means even one altered byte will cause the app to block access to that file as a safety feature.

User Responsibility & Encrypted File Disclaimer

The developer will not be held responsible for corrupted, inaccessible, lost, deleted, or damaged encrypted files. Users are solely responsible for how they use the app and for maintaining independent backups of important data. By using PrivateVault PRO, you accept full responsibility for managing your files, remembering your vault password, verifying backups, and understanding the risks of encrypted local storage.

Third-Party Native Components

PrivateVault PRO may include third-party native components for supported local features, such as PDF rendering, image processing, and document-related operations. These may include PDFium, OpenCV, and related dependencies, which remain subject to their respective licenses. License notices and acknowledgements are included where required.

No Absolute Security Guarantee

PrivateVault PRO is designed with security-focused features, but no software, device, or storage system can guarantee absolute protection in every situation. You should keep backups where appropriate, protect your device, and use strong authentication.

Lawful Use Only

You agree not to use the app for illegal, harmful, abusive, infringing, or unauthorized purposes. You are responsible for the files you import, store, export, or share.

No Liability for Mishandling

The developer of PrivateVault PRO will not be held responsible for any loss, damage, data loss, accidental deletion, unauthorized disclosure, device failure, forgotten password, corrupted files, misuse, or other issue arising from mishandling, improper use, unsafe storage practices, or user-controlled export/share actions.
