Where protocol data lives
On your device, in the app’s SQLCipher-encrypted local database.
The short, clear version
Data safety
What stays on your device, what can leave it, and the choices you control—without dense legal language.
Designed to collect less.
Protocol Vault’s core features run locally. The app does not need a Protocol Vault cloud account to organize your entries.
What we receive
We do not receive your vault contents through normal app use.
When data can leave
When you deliberately export, enable a backup, or include information in a support request.
Who controls deletion
You do. Delete entries in the app or erase all app storage from device settings.

From entry to deletion

The entry is written to the encrypted app database.
2. You use the appOffline capable

3. You choose a backup or exportOptional
A copy goes to the destination you select. That provider’s terms apply there.
4. You deleteYour control
Local deletion removes the selected data or app storage. Delete external copies separately.

Disclosure summary
This page helps explain the app’s data practices. The official store Data safety form will reflect the released build and any included platform services.
No cloud collection of vault contents
Core protocol details stay on-device and are not transmitted to Protocol Vault servers.
No sale or ad sharing
No advertising profiles, data brokerage, or cross-app behavioral targeting.
Encrypted local database
SQLCipher protects data stored by the app. Device security remains part of the protection model.
A useful distinction
Local database encryption protects stored app data. It does not make screenshots, exported files, unlocked devices, or third-party backup destinations automatically private.
