Privacy policy

Last updated: 16 July 2026

This is a starter policy for a local-first app. Have a qualified person review it before Google Play / App Store submission if your region requires it. Update contact details when ready.

Who we are

PreserveVault (“we”, “the app”) is a mobile application and website for home food preserving guidance. Website: https://www.preservevaultapp.com.

What the app stores on your device

Depending on features you use, the app may store locally:

• Recipe data bundled with the app
• Your vault / inventory batches (on-device database)
• Shopping list items
• Preferences such as metric vs US units and premium unlock flags

In the current design, this data stays on your device unless you later enable a cloud sync or account feature (not required today).

Internet use

The app may use the internet to:

• Play or open video links (e.g. YouTube)
• Open external websites you choose to visit
• In a future version: load news from this website (data/news.json or similar)

Third-party services (such as YouTube or your browser) have their own privacy policies.

Website

This website is primarily static information. Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) may be collected by the hosting provider (e.g. for security and traffic). We do not intentionally sell personal data.

Children

The app is intended for adults engaged in home food preservation. It is not directed at children under 13 (or the age required in your region).

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the app or site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

Privacy questions: Support (add a dedicated email on that page when ready).
