PrivacyPolicy

Your privacy is our top priority. Learn how we protect your data and ensure your files remain completely private.

Last updated: September 2, 2025

Local Processing Only

All AI processing happens on your device. Your files never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy and control over your data.

No Data Collection

We don't collect, store, or analyze your personal files or usage patterns. Your privacy is not a product to be sold.

Online Only

Vaultarica requires an active internet connection for authentication and licensing verification. This ensures secure access and prevents unauthorized use.

Information We Collect

File Metadata: We process file names, sizes, creation dates, and content for indexing purposes. This data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to our servers.

Usage Analytics: We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the application, such as feature usage frequency and performance metrics. This data cannot be linked to individual users or files.

Account Information: If you create an account, we store your email address and preferences. This is used solely for authentication and service delivery.

How We Protect Your Data

Local Processing: All AI analysis happens on your device using local models. Your files are never uploaded to the cloud or transmitted over the internet.

Encryption: All local data is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Database files and indexes are protected with strong encryption keys.

Secure Communication: All communication with our servers (for authentication, licensing, and service access) uses TLS 1.3 encryption.

Online Authentication: Continuous internet connection is required for service authentication and licensing verification to ensure authorized access.

No Data Sharing: We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Service Providers: We may use trusted service providers for payment processing and customer support. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
