Privacy policy

Effective date: 2026-10-30

Corgi Vault is built to keep your things private. This policy explains, in plain words, what the iPhone app and this website do with your data. The short version: your data stays on your device, encrypted, and we do not collect it.

What the app stores

• Photos, files, notes and seed phrases you add are stored on your iPhone and encrypted.
• Your encryption key is created on your device. We never receive it. A recovery key is shown to you once and is not stored in readable form.
• Your photos are never uploaded to our servers. We do not run servers that hold your content.

No accounts

There is no sign up and no login with us. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number to use the app.

No analytics or tracking

Version 1 of the app contains no analytics, no advertising SDKs and no tracking. We do not build a profile of you and we do not sell or share data, because we do not have it.

Backup files you control

If you make a backup, the app writes one encrypted file and you choose where it goes, for example iCloud Drive, a USB drive or another Files location. It is encrypted before it leaves the app, and only your recovery key can open it. We never receive the file or the key. iCloud Drive, if you choose it, is run by Apple under its own terms.

Photo library access

If you use the privacy scan or remove originals after hiding them, the app asks for access to your photo library. It reads the library on your device only, to find photos with a location, change them when you ask, and delete originals you confirm. Nothing from it is sent anywhere.

Camera and microphone

If you use the private camera or document scan, the app asks for the camera, and for the microphone when you record video. What you capture goes straight into your encrypted vault. It is not saved to your photo library.

No internet needed

The app makes no network requests of its own. The only connections are the ones Apple's App Store makes for purchases, and links you choose to open, such as this page.

Photo privacy cleaner

Removing location and camera data, and blurring faces, house numbers and licence plates, happens on your device. The free cleaner on this website runs entirely in your browser and does not upload your photo.

Purchases

If you buy anything in the app, payment is handled by Apple through the App Store. We do not see your payment details.

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. It loads the Nunito font from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google to fetch the font. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may process standard technical data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.

Children

The app does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
