Privacy Policy

1. Our Core Security Promise

Home Vault is built on a foundation of zero-knowledge architecture. Sensitive data added to your "Secure Vault" is encrypted on your device using AES-256 before being transmitted to our servers. We do not have the master key, meaning we cannot read, access, or decrypt your sensitive vault items.

2. Data Collection & App Tracking

To provide core app functionality, we collect the following minimum necessary data:

• Contact Information: Your email address for secure account authentication.
• User Content: Property details, sharing configurations, and encrypted vault payloads.
• Purchase History: We track subscription status to unlock premium limits. We do not process or store raw credit card data.

No Tracking: We do not sell your data to third parties, and we do not use your data for third-party tracking, profiling, or advertising networks.

3. Data Residency & Sovereignty

Home Vault prioritizes your privacy. In accordance with our Data Residency Policy, all personal identifiable information (PII) and vault assets for our UK and European users are strictly stored and processed in the europe-west2 (London) or europe-west3 (Frankfurt) regions. Your secure vault data will not be transferred cross-border without your explicit consent.

4. Your Automated Rights (GDPR)

We believe your data belongs to you. You can exercise your rights directly within the Home Vault app settings:

• The Right to be Forgotten: You can permanently delete your account directly inside the app (Settings > Danger Zone). Our automated Account Purge tool will recursively and permanently delete your profile, your entire Vault, and all stored assets from our servers immediately.
• Data Portability: You can instantly export your entire Vault into an interoperable JSON file (Home Vault Schema v1.0) along with your original assets.

5. Contacting the DPO
