Military-grade encryption. Zero data collection.

Privacy by design, not by promise.

Most finance apps promise privacy in their marketing while routing your data through cloud servers, third-party aggregators, and analytics platforms. PocketVault is architecturally incapable of accessing your data.

Encryption at rest

Your database is encrypted using SQLCipher with AES-256-CBC encryption. The encryption key is derived using PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 with 256,000 iterations and stored in your device's native secure storage.

Zero data collection

PocketVault collects no personal information whatsoever. No name, no email, no phone number, no location data. No analytics, no telemetry, no crash reports.

  • No name or email collected
  • No analytics or telemetry
  • No crash reports sent anywhere
  • No location data tracked
  • No phone number required

On-device AI

Unlike competitors which send your transaction data to cloud AI services, PocketVault runs AI entirely on your device using llama.cpp. Your transactions never leave your phone for AI processing.

All AI inference happens locally via llama.cpp. Semantic search uses on-device ONNX embeddings. Zero data is transmitted to any server.

Biometric authentication

Protect access with fingerprint or face recognition via your device's native biometric system. PIN fallback uses PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations.

PIN Fallback: PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 | 600,000 iterations
