Privacy Policy
Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Walala (“we”, “us”) handles information when you use the Vault mobile application (the “App”).
The App is designed as a private space for your files, photos, and notes. Most of your content stays on your device unless you choose to use optional features that connect to third-party services.
Information we process
Depending on how you use the App, the following categories may be processed:
- Files and content you import, create, edit, or store in the App, including photos, videos, documents, and notes.
- App settings and security preferences, such as password lock, stealth mode, app disguise, theme, and intrusion alert options.
- Authentication data used to protect the App (for example, a passcode hash or related secrets stored in the device Keychain, and optional Face ID / Touch ID usage through the system).
- Optional intrusion-alert captures: if you enable this feature, the App may use the camera to capture images after repeated failed unlock attempts and store them locally in the App.
- Device permissions you grant (Camera, Photos, Microphone, Face ID, Local Network, Location, Motion) solely to provide the related feature you enable.
- Optional cloud-account tokens and metadata when you sign in to services such as iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Baidu Pan to import, export, or back up files.
- Diagnostic information that the operating system may associate with crashes or App Store feedback; we do not operate a separate advertising or cross-app tracking profile.
How we use information
We use information only to provide, maintain, and improve the App’s features you request, including private file storage, security and disguise features, media playback, backups, and optional cloud transfers.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your private files for advertising.
Where your data is stored
By default, your files and App settings are stored locally on your device (and, if you enable stealth mode, in a separate local space).
If you use iCloud backup or third-party cloud services, the related files or credentials are processed by those providers under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control those third-party services.
The in-App privacy browser is designed not to keep a lasting local browsing history; downloads you save are stored in your App files.
Sharing
We share information only when:
- You initiate a transfer (share sheet, export, cloud upload/download, or Wi‑Fi computer import).
- Required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security.
- Needed for service providers acting on our behalf under appropriate safeguards (for example App Store distribution).
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures available on the platform, including Keychain storage for sensitive secrets and optional biometric unlock through the system frameworks.
No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. You are responsible for safeguarding your device passcode, App password, and recovery information.
Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region). Do not provide personal information of children through the App.
Your choices
You can revoke permissions in iOS Settings, disable optional security features, delete files in the App, clear App data from Settings, uninstall the App, or sign out of connected cloud accounts.
Deleting the App removes local App data from the device, except data you previously exported or stored with third-party services.
International users
If you access the App from outside the region where we operate, your information may be processed in your device locale and by third-party services you choose to connect.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective date” above will be revised when changes are published in the App.
