Privacy Policy for Private Contacts Vault

What Private Contacts Vault is

Private Contacts Vault is a personal contact manager that stores a separate private contact list inside the app. It is designed to help users keep selected contacts out of the system phonebook while still making those contacts easy to recognize and manage.

The app also provides smart call awareness features, including popup cards for relevant calls, favorites, notes, recents, country-aware number handling, and one-tap contact actions.

Information handled by the app

Depending on how you use Private Contacts Vault, the app may process the following categories of information:

• Contact data you enter: such as names, phone numbers, favorite status, and private notes that you choose to save inside Private Contacts Vault.
• Call-related context: call state information and recent call details needed to show mid-call and post-call popup summaries.
• Phonebook comparison data: limited contact matching used only to determine whether a popup should be skipped for numbers already saved in the device contacts.
• Settings data: preferences such as default country code, theme mode, and other app configuration choices.

Private Contacts Vault is intended to keep your private vault stored locally on the device rather than as a cloud-synced contact list.

Storage and security

Private Contacts Vault is designed so that the private contact vault remains separate from your phone's built-in contacts. According to the current product feature set, data is stored locally in an encrypted app database.

Security measures may include:

• Encrypted local storage for app data.
• Internal app separation from the default system contact book.
• Duplicate number protection to reduce accidental duplicate entries.
• Theme-aware interface behavior for consistent visibility in light and dark modes.

No storage system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, but the app is designed to minimize unnecessary exposure of private contact data.

Data sharing

Private Contacts Vault is described as a no-ads, no-tracking, local-first app. Based on the current feature information, private contact data is not sold, rented, or shared for marketing purposes.

Information may only be disclosed if required by applicable law or legal process, or if necessary to protect the app, the developer, or users from abuse or security threats.

Data retention

Contact data that you save in Private Contacts Vault remains stored on the device until you edit or delete it, or remove the app and its local data.

Because the current product description emphasizes local storage and no cloud sync, data retention is primarily controlled by what remains on your device.

Your rights and controls

• You can edit or delete saved contacts inside the app at any time.
• You can manage app permissions through your device settings.
• You can remove local app data by uninstalling the app, subject to your device's behavior and settings.
• You can control visual preferences such as dark mode, light mode, and default country code settings from within the app.

Children's privacy

Private Contacts Vault is not intended for children under the minimum age required by applicable local law, and the app is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated over time to reflect product changes, legal requirements, or security improvements.

When this happens, the updated version should be published on this page with a revised effective date.
