YOUR PHOTOS. YOUR PRIVACY. YOUR RULES. Haven Vault is a private home for your photos, videos and files — and a different way to share them. Because sharing something shouldn't mean giving up control of it. Keep private photos protected. Share them only with the people you choose. Decide how long they can be viewed, whether someone may keep a copy, and take access back whenever you want. What's private stays private. Share on your terms. Take it back anytime. Know if your trust is broken. SHARE WITHOUT GIVING IT AWAY Normal photo sharing usually means handing over a copy. Haven gives you another choice. With Haven-controlled sharing, you decide: • Who can see it • Whether they can view it once, for a limited time or until you revoke access • Whether they are allowed to keep their own copy • How strictly Haven protects it while it is being viewed Unless you deliberately allow Keep a Copy, the photo remains under your control. You shared access. You didn't surrender control. TAKE IT BACK ANYTIME Changed your mind? Revoke access to a Haven-controlled photo whenever you choose. The recipient loses access inside Haven, rather than every share becoming a permanent handover. KNOW IF YOUR TRUST IS BROKEN Haven can detect defined trust-breach events while protected shared content is being viewed. If the viewing rules you set are broken, Haven records the event so you know something happened. You choose how strict that protection should be. PROTECTED BY YOUR PRESENCE Haven is built around people, not just passwords. Facial-presence protection helps make sure your protected content is being viewed by you — not simply by someone holding your unlocked phone. Your enrolled facial data stays on your device. YOUR VAULT STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE Your personal Vault is stored on your iPhone or iPad, not on Haven's servers. Haven does not keep a readable copy of your Vault. When you privately share something, it is encrypted on your device before it leaves. Haven cannot read the private content you share. SHARED WITH ME Photos other people share with you stay together in Shared With Me. You can enjoy what someone has shared while their original permissions remain in place. If they later revoke access, their decision remains theirs. SAVE IT — OR GIVE THEM A COPY There is a difference between sharing something and giving it away. Keep a Copy lets the owner deliberately give someone their own independent copy. Useful for family photos, holidays, celebrations and memories you actually want another person to keep. Recipients can also ask the owner for permission to save a copy. BUILT FOR THE PHOTOS THAT MATTER Your partner. Your family. Your children. Your closest friends. Private moments. Personal memories. Haven is for the photos you want other people to enjoy without automatically surrendering control of them. WITH HAVEN VAULT YOU CAN • Protect private photos, videos and files • Organise photos into albums • Import from Photos or capture directly in Haven • Share with specific people you choose • Share with trusted groups and your Inner Circle • Like and comment on photos shared with you • Create a Haven profile and @username Practice safe sharing. Your photos. Your people. Your rules. FREE AND PREMIUM Your Vault, camera, albums and receiving shares are free. Sharing on the Free plan uses sharing credits, with additional credits available over time. Haven Premium unlocks unlimited sharing through an optional auto-renewable subscription. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Subscription purchases are billed through your Apple Account and can be managed or cancelled at any time in your App Store subscription settings.
