Effective date: June 9, 2026
1. Information we collect
None. Veil has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking SDKs. We do not collect your name, email, device identifiers, location, usage data, photos, or videos.
2. Your photos and videos
Your photos and videos are encrypted on your device using AES-256, with a key derived from your password, before they are ever stored or synced. We operate no servers that hold your content.
3. iCloud Sync
Veil stores your already-encrypted data in your own private Apple iCloud (CloudKit) account, so you can restore it after reinstalling or on a new device. It remains end-to-end encrypted with your key — the key never leaves your device, so Apple cannot read it, and neither can we. This feature uses Apple iCloud and is additionally subject to Apple’s Privacy Policy.
4. Camera (Intruder capture)
If you enable the intruder feature, the front camera captures a photo only when an incorrect passcode is entered. These images are encrypted and stored locally on your device. They are never transmitted anywhere.
5. Face ID / Touch ID
Biometric authentication is handled entirely by iOS. Veil never receives, sees, or stores your biometric data.
6. Your password
There is no password recovery. We never see your password. If you forget it, your encrypted data cannot be recovered — by design. This is what makes it truly private.
7. Data sharing
We share nothing, because we collect nothing. No data is sold, rented, or disclosed to third parties.
8. Children’s privacy
Veil does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children under 13.
9. Security
Veil uses AES-256-GCM encryption. Your encryption key is derived from your password using PBKDF2 (200,000 iterations) and protected by the device Secure Enclave / Keychain. The key never leaves your device.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
