## What is Photo Vault & Lock?

Veil is a private vault that locks your photos, videos and files behind a passcode only you can open protected by real AES-256 encryption, Face ID, and Touch ID. No one gets in but you.

Most "hide photo" apps just move files around. Veil actually encrypts them.

— WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE VEIL —

• Face ID & Touch ID unlock instantly, lock automatically.

• Break-in alerts Veil silently captures a photo of anyone who enters the wrong passcode.
• Hidden app icon disguise Veil as a Calculator, Notes, or Weather app.
• Private browser save documents (PDF, XLS) straight into your vault, with no history left behind.
