Privacy

Your family's information stays yours.

LifeVault™ stores your vault data on your device. No accounts, no ads, no personal data collection. Medical records, insurance information, caregiver instructions, and everything else you organize stays private — on the phone in your hand. You decide what to share, with whom, and when.

On-device storage

Your records and documents stay on your device. Nothing is shared without your permission.

LifeVault doesn't upload your records or documents to any server. No cloud sync, no remote databases. Minimal anonymous analytics help improve the app but never include your personal information. Your medical records, insurance cards, medications, emergency contacts, and family information live on your device — protected by the same encryption that secures your phone.

No servers Your vault data never touches a LifeVault server. LifeVault does not operate a database for user records.
No accounts No email, no password, no sign-up. Open the app and start organizing.
No data harvesting No advertising identifiers, no data harvesting. Anonymous analytics help us improve the app, but we never see what you store, who you share with, or any personal information.

User-controlled sharing

You choose what to share. Nothing is shared automatically.

When you generate a PDF to share with a caregiver, pet sitter, or family member, you choose which sections to include. Medications only. Emergency contacts only. Or the full profile — you decide. The PDF is generated on your device and sent through whatever app you choose — text, email, or AirDrop.

LifeVault never sends information on your behalf. Every share is initiated by you, controlled by you, and delivered through your phone's built-in sharing tools.

Backup & recovery

Encrypted backups you control

Create a password-protected encrypted backup of your entire vault — records, documents, contacts, and settings. Save it to Files, AirDrop it, or store it wherever you choose. LifeVault does not store your backups on its servers. You control where your backups are kept and when they are restored.

Built for family trust

The information families organize deserves the highest standard of privacy.

Medical records. Insurance policies. Medication schedules. Calming strategies. Behavioral notes. Emergency contacts. This is some of the most sensitive information a family manages — and it deserves better than a notes app, a shared Google Doc, or a folder of photos in your camera roll.

Medical privacy

Medications, allergies, diagnoses, surgical history, and doctor contacts stay on your device. Share only what's needed, only when you choose to.

Financial privacy

Insurance policy numbers, bank contacts, account information, and identification documents are never uploaded, synced, or accessible to anyone but you.

Caregiving privacy

Support guides, behavioral notes, calming strategies, and accommodation details stay private. Share with specific caregivers through PDFs you control.

Privacy for sensitive information

Support guides and caregiver instructions — handled with care.

When you're organizing calming strategies, sensory accommodations, behavioral triggers, or medication instructions for a child or loved one, privacy isn't optional — it's essential. LifeVault treats this information with the care it deserves. Nothing is indexed, analyzed, or used for any purpose other than helping you organize and share it on your terms.

Secure exports

Your data stays portable. Export everything, anytime.

LifeVault doesn't lock you in. Export your data as structured PDFs or back up your information at any time. If you ever stop using the app, your information goes with you — because it was never on our servers to begin with. We believe your data belongs to you, and that includes the freedom to leave.

Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 22, 2026

LifeVault is developed and published by Pixel Street Media. This privacy policy explains how LifeVault handles your information.

The short version: Your data stays on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or have access to your personal information.

1. Data Storage

LifeVault does not require an account or sign-in. All data is stored locally on your device using on-device storage. Your profiles, records, contacts, and documents are saved directly to your iPhone and are not transmitted to any external server, cloud service, or third party.

Your data may be included in your regular iPhone backup (iCloud Backup or encrypted computer backup), depending on your Apple backup settings. LifeVault does not control or manage your iPhone backup configuration.

2. What Information LifeVault Stores

LifeVault allows you to store personal and household information including:

Personal profiles (names, dates of birth, relationships)
Medical records (prescriptions, allergies, insurance information)
Identification documents (passport details, driver's license information)
Pet profiles and veterinary records
Household information (home details, vehicle information, utilities)
Contacts and care provider details
Uploaded documents and photos

All of this information is entered by you and stored only on your device. LifeVault does not pre-populate, infer, or collect any of this data automatically.

3. Data Collection

LifeVault does not collect:

Your personal records, documents, or vault contents
Names, dates of birth, addresses, or contact information
Document text, OCR results, or photo data
Advertising identifiers or cross-app tracking data
Location data

LifeVault uses minimal anonymous analytics to understand which features are used and improve app stability. Analytics are limited to anonymous event counts (e.g., “a record was created”) and never include your personal information, record contents, or document data. A random identifier is generated on your device — it cannot be linked to your name, Apple ID, or any personal information.

No vault data is sent to Pixel Street Media or any third party.

4. Device Permissions

LifeVault requests the following device permissions, each used solely for in-app functionality:

Camera: To photograph and scan documents for attachment to records. Photos are stored locally on your device only.
Photo Library: To select existing photos for attachment to records. Selected photos are copied into the app's local storage.
Contacts: To import contact information from your iPhone address book into LifeVault's local contact directory. Contact data is copied locally and is not transmitted externally.
Face ID / Touch ID: To protect access to the app using biometric authentication. Biometric data is handled entirely by your device's operating system. LifeVault never accesses, stores, or transmits biometric data.

All permissions are optional. LifeVault functions without granting any of these permissions, though some features will be unavailable.

5. Document Scanning and OCR

LifeVault includes optical character recognition (OCR) to extract text from photographed or uploaded documents. All text extraction is performed entirely on your device using Apple's on-device Vision framework. No document images or extracted text are sent to any external service.

6. Third-Party Services

LifeVault uses Mixpanel for anonymous product analytics only. Mixpanel receives anonymous usage events (such as “a record was created” or “a backup was completed”) and basic app metadata (app version, platform). Mixpanel does not receive your personal information, vault contents, document data, or any identifying information.

LifeVault does not integrate with any advertising, crash reporting, or data brokerage services.

7. Data Security

App data is protected by your device's built-in security features, including device passcode, Face ID, and Touch ID.

LifeVault provides an optional app-level biometric lock that requires Face ID or Touch ID authentication when opening the app or returning after a period of inactivity.

8. Data Export and Deletion

You can export your vault data as a PDF document at any time. You can also create a password-protected encrypted backup of your entire vault, which you control and store wherever you choose. LifeVault does not store your backups on its servers.

You can delete all app data permanently through the Settings screen. Deletion removes all profiles, records, contacts, documents, and credentials from your device. This action cannot be undone.

9. Children's Privacy

LifeVault is designed for use by adults to manage family information. The app does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian stores information about their children within LifeVault, that data remains on the parent's device and is not collected or transmitted by Pixel Street Media.

10. Website Analytics

The LifeVault website (lifevaultapp.com) uses limited, anonymous analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. This helps us improve the experience and understand which features people are most interested in.

Website analytics collect only:

Pages visited
General device type (mobile or desktop)
Referral source (how you arrived at the site)
Button clicks related to product interest (e.g., TestFlight links)

Website analytics do not collect:

Names, email addresses, or personal information
Medical, caregiving, or household data
Form contents or typed text
Persistent user profiles or cross-session identity
Advertising identifiers or fingerprinting data

Analytics are disabled for visitors whose browser sends a Do Not Track signal. LifeVault does not sell website analytics data to anyone.

Website analytics are entirely separate from the LifeVault app. The app uses minimal anonymous product analytics as described in Section 6. No vault contents, personal records, or identifying information are included in app analytics.

Privacy questions

Common questions.

Does LifeVault upload my data to any server?

No. Your records and documents stay on your device. LifeVault does not operate servers or databases for your personal data. Because there is no centralized LifeVault user database, your personal information is not exposed to server-side data breaches. Information only leaves your device when you choose to share, export, or back up.

Does LifeVault require an account or login?

No. There's no email, no password, and no sign-up process. Open the app and start organizing. Your data is protected by your phone's built-in security — Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode.

What happens to my data if I delete the app?

Your data is deleted with the app. Since everything is stored locally on your device, deleting LifeVault removes all records, profiles, and documents. We recommend exporting your data before deleting if you want to keep a copy.

Does LifeVault sell or share data with third parties?

No. LifeVault does not sell, share, or provide your personal data to any third party. Your records, documents, and vault contents are never collected. Anonymous product analytics help improve the app but contain no personal information, vault contents, or identifying data. No advertising identifiers, no tracking SDKs.
