1. Permitted use and responsibility
NoteVault is provided for lawful personal or internal note-taking. You are responsible for the content you save, keeping your device and PIN secure, and using the app in compliance with applicable laws and the rights of other people.
2. Local vault and security controls
NoteVault stores notes and preferences locally. The app's PIN feature and optional Android biometric authentication reduce unauthorized access, but no device or software security method guarantees absolute protection. Biometric availability and recognition depend on Android and your device settings.
You are responsible for protecting your device, PIN, and enrolled biometric methods. NoteVault does not offer an account-based cloud recovery service for local vault data.
3. Notes, migration, and backups
Local notes or settings may be lost if you clear storage, uninstall the app, forget security credentials, change devices, experience storage corruption, or encounter hardware failure. Recovery of notes from an earlier version depends on compatible earlier data remaining accessible on the same device.
Keep any device-level backup you consider necessary and verify that migrated notes are available before deleting earlier app data or backups.
4. Platform services and privacy
Optional biometric unlock is provided through Android. The current Android release also uses Firebase Analytics for limited technical and usage information. Consult the NoteVault Privacy Policy for a detailed explanation of local data, analytics, permissions, retention, and deletion.
5. Availability and limitations
NoteVault is provided on an as-available basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not liable for note loss, failed migration, forgotten credentials, biometric recognition failures, unauthorized device access, storage corruption, uninstallation, user-initiated deletion, or device failure.
Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded.
6. Changes and contact
These Terms may be updated when NoteVault's features or operational requirements change. The effective date on this page identifies the version of these Terms. For questions, contact [email protected].
