Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 19, 2026

Family Vault is a private record organizer. Vault contents and uploaded documents are encrypted in your browser before storage in Google Drive and Google Sheets associated with the Google account you choose.

Information we process

• Google account identity information needed for sign-in, such as your email address and account identifier.
• Encrypted vault records, document metadata, encrypted document files, groups, categories, payment history, and reminder dates that you choose to save.
• Short-lived Google and Firebase authorization credentials required to complete actions you request.

Google API access

Family Vault requests the Google Drive drive.file permission so it can create and manage only the Drive files used by this app. It uses Google Sheets as an encrypted database and Drive for encrypted document storage. Google authorization tokens are used to perform your requested operation and are not intentionally stored in the vault database or application logs.

Use of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Encryption and storage

Sensitive vault content is encrypted client-side with a key derived from your vault passphrase. The service operator does not receive your vault passphrase. Your encrypted files remain in your own Google account. Some reminder metadata, such as dates and an email address, may be processed by Google Apps Script to send reminders when you enable that option.

Sharing and sale

We do not sell your personal information or encrypted vault contents. We do not use Google user data for advertising, credit decisions, or training generalized artificial intelligence models. Data is disclosed only to service providers needed to operate the app, such as Google and Firebase, or when required by law.

Retention and deletion

You control records stored in your vault. Documents moved to the in-app Trash remain encrypted and can be restored during the displayed review period. Permanent deletion removes the vault reference and moves the corresponding file to Google Drive Trash. Google may retain trashed files according to its own retention policy. You can also delete app-created files directly from your Google Drive.

Security and your choices

Use a unique vault passphrase and keep an encrypted backup. A forgotten passphrase cannot be reset to decrypt existing vault contents. You may revoke Family Vault access from your Google Account permissions and may contact us to request help with access removal.

Children

Family Vault is not directed to children under 13 and should be used by a parent or guardian when family records involve a child.

Changes

We may update this policy when the app or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are published.
