HomeVault

Privacy Policy

Effective date 9 October 2026.

HomeVault does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data. There is no account system, no sign-up, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking. The sections below explain this in detail.

Where your data lives

On your device, by default. Everything you enter, including places, items, photos, documents, tags and notes, is stored locally on your iPhone or iPad. Nothing leaves the device unless you set up sync.

Your own server, optionally. HomeVault can sync with a HomeVault server that you host on your own hardware, for example a NAS at home. If you turn this on, data goes only to the server address you enter, protected by an access token you provide. The developer has no access to that server or its contents. You operate it yourself.

Device permissions

Camera: only to photograph your items and to scan QR codes. Photos are stored locally in the app.

Photo library: only when you choose to attach an existing photo to an item.

NFC: only to read and write the NFC tags you use to label places and items.

Bluetooth: only to connect to a UHF RFID reader, if you pair one.

None of these permissions are used to collect data for the developer or any third party.

Retention and deletion

All data is under your control. Deleting an item or a place removes it from your device, and from your own server on the next sync if you use one. Deleting the app removes all locally stored data.

Purchases

HomeVault Pro is sold as an App Store subscription. Apple handles the payment, and the developer never sees your payment details, name or address.

Children

HomeVault does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children. The app is rated 4+.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
