Privacy Policy
At DriveVault, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app and website.
Information We Collect
- Waitlist email: If you join the beta waitlist on our website, we collect your email address to contact you about beta access and product updates.
- In-app data: The DriveVault macOS app processes files locally on your device. It does not upload drive contents, file metadata, or personal files to our servers. We are not able to see any of the drive data that you scan into DriveVault.
- Diagnostics/telemetry: The app does not send analytics or telemetry to us.
- Bug Reporting + Feature Requests: As part of the public beta, we have added the ability for users to report bugs and request features. If you choose to submit this information to us, we may use it to improve the DriveVault app.
How We Use Information
- To provide beta access, product updates, and launch notifications.
- To respond to support requests you initiate.
Subscriptions & Billing
If you purchase a subscription in the macOS App Store, payment and billing are processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your full payment details. We may receive non-personal information from Apple (e.g., purchase receipts or subscription status) to unlock premium features on your device. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple per their policies.
Legal Bases (where applicable)
- Consent: for waitlist emails and marketing communications.
- Legitimate interests: to operate and improve the app and respond to your requests.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We use limited third-party processors only where necessary:
- Formspree (waitlist form processing for emails you submit).
- Apple (in-app purchases and subscription management).
Data Retention
Waitlist emails are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. In-app data remains on your device and is not retained by us.
Security
DriveVault is designed with security in mind, including macOS sandboxing and read-only scanning of drives. While no system is perfectly secure, we apply reasonable safeguards to protect the information contained in the app.
Your Rights
You may unsubscribe from emails at any time, or request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us at hello@drivevault.io.
Children’s Privacy
DriveVault is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective upon posting here.
