## What is PicVaultPro?

Your photos deserve better than "probably private."

PicVaultPro is a private photo vault that encrypts every photo and video on your device, before anything is uploaded. Your password generates the keys. We store your encrypted vault; we never hold the keys to open it. If our servers were ever breached, attackers would get unreadable bytes.

WHY PICVAULTPRO

• Real end-to-end encryption
Every file is encrypted with AES-256-GCM on your iPhone before upload. Only you can unlock your photos and videos — not us, not advertisers, not anyone else.

• Face ID & Touch ID
Open your vault in a glance. Lock it again the moment you leave the app.

• Fort Knox vaults
An extra-secure vault mode for your most sensitive photos. Opening it requires SMS verification every time, sessions lock after 30 minutes, and its contents stay out of your People view, photo counts, and search until you unlock it. Available on Pro and Premium.

• Private AI that's off by default
Turn on face grouping only if you want it. AI runs on PicVaultPro's own servers — your photos are never sent to a third-party AI company, never used for advertising, and never used to train AI models. Turn it off any time and your face data is permanently deleted.

• Share with people, not links
Share vaults and collections with the specific people you choose. No public links floating around the internet.

• Organize your memories
Collections, slideshows, memories, and a Places map of where your photos were taken.

• Easy uploads
Add photos and videos straight from your camera or your photo library.

PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK

No ads. No data selling. No AI training on your photos. We make money from subscriptions — not from you.

We're also upfront about what is and isn't encrypted. Your photos and videos are encrypted with your key. Some metadata (like file names, dates, and photo location) is protected by access controls rather than your key, so our servers can read it. Our FAQ explains exactly what we can and can't see.

WHO IT'S FOR

People who read the terms of service and didn't like what they found. Couples who want a shared space that's truly theirs. Parents who don't want their kids' photos used to train AI. Anyone who has thought, "I wish I had somewhere truly private to keep this."

Your photos. Your keys. Your rules.
