LockBox Secure PIN Photo Vault
LockBox Secure PIN Photo Vault (“the app”, “the Service”) is provided as an Ad-Supported application and offers optional in-app subscriptions for unlocking premium features. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
🧾 Information Collection and Use
The app is designed to operate fully offline, and no personal data is stored on external servers. Some information may be collected automatically by the device or third-party services integrated into the app.
The app itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personally identifiable information (PII).
The following information may be collected automatically through third-party SDKs:
- Device identifiers
- Approximate location
- IP address
- Crash analytics
- Advertising identifiers (e.g., AAID/IDFA)
This information is used solely to provide and improve the Service.
🎟️ In-App Purchases & Subscriptions
The app provides optional auto-renewable subscriptions that unlock premium features (e.g., remove ads, unlock full functionality).
1. No Personal Data Collected for Subscription
The app does not collect or store personal information related to subscription purchases. All purchase processing is handled securely by:
- Apple App Store (StoreKit)
- Google Play Store (Billing Library)
The app only receives anonymous purchase status, not your name, email, or payment details.
2. Entitlement Checks
To determine whether a subscription is active:
- The app queries StoreKit (iOS) or Google Play Billing (Android).
- This process may involve:
- device identifiers,
- purchase tokens,
- transaction history tied to your App Store / Play Store account.
This data never leaves your device and is not sent to any external server, as the app does not have a backend.
3. Restore Purchases
If you reinstall the app or install it on another device:
- You may use the “Restore Purchases” feature.
- Restore operations communicate with Apple/Google servers to confirm subscription entitlement.
- No personal data is transmitted to the app developer.
4. Cross-Device Access
If you use the same Apple ID on multiple Apple devices:
- Your subscription may be restored across devices automatically or via “Restore Purchases.”
The app does not track or identify users and data across devices. Subscription validation is managed solely by Apple/Google.
5. No Server Storage
Because the app operates offline:
- Subscription status is stored only locally on the user’s device.
- No subscription information is stored on developer-owned servers.
📡 Third-Party Services
The app integrates third-party SDKs, which may collect data according to their own privacy policies.
Third-party services used:
- AdMob (Google) — for advertisements and general usage analytics
- Google Play Billing / Apple StoreKit — for in-app purchases and subscription validation
Please review their privacy policies:
- Google AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Google Play Billing: https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/
- Apple StoreKit / App Store: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
🧩 Log Data
In the case of an app crash or error, third-party services may collect diagnostic information, which can include:
- IP address
- Device model
- OS version
- Timestamp
- App configuration
- Usage statistics
This information is used solely to improve the app’s stability.
🍪 Cookies
The app itself does not use cookies.
However, third-party SDKs (e.g., AdMob) may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to personalize ads.
Users may disable ad personalization through device settings.
🧑💼 Service Providers
Third-party service providers may be used to:
- Facilitate advertising
- Process in-app purchases
- Provide analytics
- Improve user experience
These providers may temporarily access data as needed but are prohibited from using it beyond what is required.
🔒 Security
Reasonable measures are taken to protect the information processed by the app.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is fully secure.
The app does not store personal data on external servers.
🔗 Links to Other Sites
The app may link to external websites not operated by the developer. Users are advised to review their respective Privacy Policies.
The developer is not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.
👶 Children’s Privacy
The Service is not intended for children under 13.
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe your child has provided personal information, please contact the developer for removal.
🗄️ Data Retention & Deletion
- Locally stored data is kept only as long as needed to provide the Service.
- Because the app has no backend, all app data is stored on your device.
- Uninstalling the app will delete locally stored data.
- Subscription records remain with Apple/Google and are not controlled by the developer.
