Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
1. Our Commitment to Privacy
VaultScrub is built with a privacy-first architecture. Your documents and personal information are processed locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store your data on any external servers.
2. Data Processing
All document processing — including OCR text extraction, PII detection, and PDF redaction — happens entirely on your device. Your original documents never leave your computer.
- Documents are read from and saved to your local filesystem only
- OCR processing runs locally using on-device machine learning models
- Redaction patterns are matched locally without any network calls
3. Data Storage
- Application settings and preferences are stored locally on your device
- You can delete all stored data at any time from Settings
4. Analytics & Telemetry
VaultScrub does not collect any usage analytics, telemetry, crash reports, or tracking data. We have no insight into how you use the application.
5. Auto-Updater
If automatic update checks are enabled, VaultScrub periodically checks for new versions by requesting a version manifest from GitHub. This request contains no personal data — only a version number comparison is performed. You can disable automatic update checks in Settings → General.
6. Third-Party Services
- Stripe — Used for license purchases. Payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe; VaultScrub does not process or store payment information.
- GitHub — Used for update checks only. No personal data is transmitted.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the application and on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued use of VaultScrub after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
