1. Introduction

LockSnap: Private Photo Vault ("the App", "we", "our", "us") is a mobile application designed to help you securely store and protect your personal photos and videos on your device. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our App.

2. Information We Collect

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data to external servers.

All information is stored locally on your device:

• Photos & Videos: All media you import into the vault is stored exclusively in your device's local storage, within a protected and isolated app directory. We never access, view, or upload your photos to any server.
• Passcode: Your 4-digit passcode is stored locally on your device using secure storage mechanisms. We do not have access to your passcode and cannot recover it.
• Biometric Data: Face ID and Touch ID authentication is handled entirely by Apple's operating system. We never access, store, or process biometric data directly.
• Disguise PIN: If you use the Calculator Disguise Mode, your PIN is stored locally on your device.
• App Preferences: Settings such as biometric toggle, disguise mode, and onboarding status are stored locally using UserDefaults.
• Subscription Data: In-app purchase and subscription information is managed entirely by Apple through StoreKit. We do not have access to your payment information, credit card details, or Apple ID.

3. Device Permissions

The App may request the following permissions:

• Photo Library Access: Required to import photos and videos from your camera roll into the vault. We only access the specific items you explicitly select. We do not scan, browse, or access any other photos on your device.
• Face ID / Touch ID: Used for biometric authentication to unlock your vault. All biometric processing is handled by Apple's LocalAuthentication framework on your device. Biometric data never leaves your device.

4. Data Storage & Security

• All data is stored locally on your device in an isolated, protected directory.
• Vault files are excluded from iCloud backup for maximum privacy.
• The app automatically locks when you leave it (switch to another app or lock your phone).
