Learn how information and permissions are handled when you use private notes, file storage, notification archiving, access controls, and backup features.
Chat Privacy Lock is a utility for organizing private notes, files, imported chat records, and notification previews. Information handling depends on the features you enable and the configuration of integrated services. Please read this policy alongside the app's permission prompts and settings.
Depending on the features you use, the app may store or process:
Vault content is intended to be stored in the app's local storage. Advertising, push-notification, or other connected services may process technical information as described below. The app's actual data practices depend on its implementation and SDK configuration.
If you enable notification access in Android settings, the app can receive notification information made available by Android. Depending on the source notification, this may include its text, title, source application, and timestamp.
The app may save supported notification information in its archive so you can review it later. You can pause or resume archiving, clear archived records, or revoke notification access through Android settings.
Content you create or import is used to provide note-taking, organization, search, archive, import, export, and backup features. You are responsible for having the right to import and store the content you select.
Chat Privacy Lock is an independent utility and is not affiliated with or endorsed by third-party messaging services.
The app may use a PIN, Android biometric authentication, and Android security facilities to control access to protected areas. Biometric verification is handled by the device's Android authentication facilities; the app does not need to receive your fingerprint or face image to request verification.
Supported content and backups may be encrypted where that feature is implemented. Actual protection depends on the implementation, device, operating system, and how you manage your PIN and backup passphrase. No method can guarantee absolute protection.
If you create a backup or export content, you are responsible for protecting the resulting files and any backup passphrase. Content saved or shared outside the app may be subject to the privacy and security practices of the destination.
Deleting an item from the app does not necessarily delete previously exported copies or backups stored elsewhere.
The following permissions are declared in the app manifest you supplied. Their actual use should match the implementation and the feature descriptions shown to users.
The project configuration includes advertising and push-notification SDKs. Depending on the services enabled and their configuration, providers may process technical information such as device or advertising identifiers, IP address, diagnostics, app interactions, and information needed to deliver notifications.
Advertising providers may use information for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and other purposes described in their own policies. Push-notification providers may process information needed to register a device and deliver messages.
The exact information processed depends on SDK versions, configuration, consent choices, device settings, and actual use. Review the providers' privacy policies and ensure the app's Data safety declaration matches the implemented behavior.
Locally stored notes, files, and notification records may remain on your device until you delete them or clear the app's storage. Items in Trash may remain recoverable until permanently deleted.
Use the app's deletion controls to remove supported content. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage generally removes local app data, but may not remove information held by third-party providers, exported copies, or backups stored elsewhere.
Depending on the feature and your device, you may be able to:
Disabling a permission may limit the feature that depends on it.
The app is not intended to collect personal information directly from children. If you believe personal information has been provided through a service associated with the app, please contact us using the contact method described below.
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the app's features, integrated services, or applicable requirements change. The revised policy will be published with an updated effective date.
