Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 18, 2025

Privacy at a Glance

TL;DR: SecretVault is designed for maximum privacy. We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data. Your passwords and secrets never leave your Mac. We can't see your data because we never receive it.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Dnyantra Tech Private Limited ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with the SecretVault application ("App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.

Company Information:

  • Company Name: Dnyantra Tech Private Limited
  • Contact Email: support@dnyantra.com
  • Location: India

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

SecretVault is designed with privacy as the foundation. We want to be clear about what we do NOT do:

  • Your Passwords: We never see, collect, store, or transmit your passwords or secrets.
  • Your Master Password: Your master password never leaves your device and is never stored anywhere.
  • Personal Information: We don't collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any identifying information.
  • Usage Data: We don't track how you use the App (no analytics or telemetry).
  • Device Information: We don't collect device IDs, IP addresses, or system information.
  • Location Data: We don't access or collect location information.
  • Crash Reports: We don't automatically collect crash reports or error logs.
  • Cookies: The App doesn't use cookies or similar tracking technologies.

3. How SecretVault Works

To understand our privacy guarantees, it's important to understand how SecretVault works:

3.1 Local Storage Only

  • All your data is stored locally on your Mac in an encrypted SQLite database
  • Database location: ~/Library/Application Support/SecretVault/
  • Data never syncs to cloud services
  • Data never leaves your device unless you explicitly export it

3.2 Encryption

  • All secrets are encrypted using AES-256-GCM before being stored
  • Your master password is hashed using bcrypt and never stored
  • Each secret has a unique encryption key derived from your master password
  • Encryption and decryption happen entirely on your device

3.3 No Network Communication

  • The App blocks all external network connections
  • No API calls to our servers or third-party services
  • Works completely offline
  • No internet connection required after installation

4. Data You Control

You have complete control over your data:

4.1 Your Database

  • You can manually back up your database file
  • You can delete your database at any time
  • You can export your data from the App
  • You own your data completely

4.2 Email Field

  • The "email" field during account creation is just a username for local authentication
  • It doesn't need to be a real email address
  • It's stored locally in your encrypted database
  • We never see or receive this information

5. App Store Information

When you download SecretVault from the Mac App Store:

  • Apple may collect purchase information (not shared with us)
  • Apple's privacy policy applies to App Store transactions
  • We only receive aggregated, anonymous sales statistics from Apple
  • We cannot identify individual purchasers

6. Support Communications

If you contact us for support:

  • We may collect your email address and message content
  • This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry
  • We don't use support emails for marketing
  • Support communications are retained for reasonable business purposes
  • You can request deletion of your support communications at any time

7. Third-Party Services

SecretVault does not integrate with any third-party services:

  • No analytics services (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
  • No crash reporting services (Sentry, Crashlytics, etc.)
  • No advertising networks
  • No social media integrations
  • No cloud storage providers

8. Children's Privacy

SecretVault is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used the App, please contact us.

9. Data Security

While we don't collect your data, we've designed SecretVault with security best practices:

  • Encryption: AES-256-GCM encryption for all stored data
  • Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations
  • Password Hashing: bcrypt with cost factor 10
  • Auto-Lock: Automatic locking after 15 minutes of inactivity
  • Rate Limiting: Protection against brute force attacks
  • Sandboxing: macOS App Sandbox for isolation

10. Data Breaches

Because your data is stored locally and never transmitted to us:

  • There are no servers that could be breached
  • Your data cannot be exposed through our infrastructure
  • You maintain physical control of your data

11. International Data Transfers

Your data never leaves your Mac, so there are no international data transfers. All data processing occurs locally on your device.

12. Your Rights

Since we don't collect your personal data, most data protection rights don't apply. However:

  • Right to Access: All your data is accessible through the App
  • Right to Deletion: You can delete your database at any time
  • Right to Export: You can export your data from the App
  • Right to Portability: Your data is stored in standard formats

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Compliance

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with:

  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • India's Information Technology Act, 2000
  • Apple's App Store Privacy Requirements

15. Open Source

  • No network requests are made
  • No analytics code is present
  • Data is stored locally only
  • Encryption is implemented correctly
