Terms of Service - Personal Vault


Effective Date: June 23rd, 2026

Welcome to Personal Vault. Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using our mobile application (the "Service" or "App").

By installing or using Personal Vault, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the App.

1. Description of Service

Personal Vault provides a secure local storage solution that allows users to encrypt, scan, organize, and manage sensitive documents, notes, and savings plans directly on their mobile device. The App also offers optional cloud backup and family sharing functionality utilizing third-party integration via the Google Drive API.

2. Privacy and Data Ownership

Your privacy is our core priority. As detailed in our Privacy Policy:

  • Data Custody: All data added to Personal Vault is stored locally on your physical device. We do not maintain central servers, and we do not have access to, read, or collect your files, documents, or master passwords/PINs.

  • Encryption: You are solely responsible for enabling security features (such as custom PINs or Biometric locks) to protect the data on your physical device.

3. User Responsibilities & Risk Acknowledgment

Because Personal Vault is a local-first application, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • Password/PIN Recovery: We do not store or have access to your master PIN or biometric data. If you forget your PIN, lose your device, or delete the App without a valid backup, we cannot recover your data.

  • Backup Maintenance: While the App provides an optional Google Drive integration to assist with backups, you are entirely responsible for executing backups and ensuring the security and accessibility of your personal Google account.

  • Lawful Use: You agree not to use the App to store or transmit any material that violates applicable local, national, or international laws.

4. Third-Party Services

The App integrates with third-party services, specifically Google Play Services (for authentication and billing) and the Google Drive API (for storage, backup, and sharing sync).

  • Your use of cloud backups is subject to Google's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

  • We are not responsible for any service interruptions, data corruption, or security breaches occurring within Google’s infrastructure.

5. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the App (excluding user-generated content and documents), including the software code, user interface, design, and branding, are the exclusive property of Personal Vault and its licensors. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes.

6. Termination and Deletion

You can terminate this agreement at any time by deleting the App from your device. To completely erase your data, you must use the "Delete Safe" feature within the App settings and clear your private backup folder inside your Google Drive account. Because we do not store your data on an external server, uninstalling the App and clearing your personal cloud folder eliminates all traces of your data.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE COMPLETELY ERROR-FREE, SECURE FROM ALL IMAGINABLE CYBER THREATS, OR UNINTERRUPTED.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL PERSONAL VAULT, ITS DEVELOPERS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE) THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

9. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide notice within the App update notes. By continuing to access or use the App after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms.

10. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding these Terms, please contact us at:

Dino Runner – From Idea to Google Play Store

  Introduction Dino Legends: Endless Run in short Dino Runner was built with a simple goal: create a fast, fun, and challenging endless runner that anyone can pick up and play within seconds.
