Introduction
Vault Hollandia ("the App", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your information. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and your rights when using Vault Hollandia.
By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
Vault Hollandia is designed with privacy as a core principle. The App does not require account registration, email addresses, phone numbers, or other personally identifiable information to function.
Information stored within the App may include:
- Collection records
- Precious metal holdings
- Notes and inventory information

This information is stored locally on the user's device and is not transmitted to developer-operated servers.
Local Data Storage
All collection data, inventory records, photos, notes, and related information are stored locally on your device.
Vault Hollandia does not upload or synchronize your collection data to any developer-operated cloud service or server.
Data stored within the App is protected using encryption technologies and security measures designed to help prevent unauthorized access.
Precious Metal Price Data
The App retrieves current gold and silver market prices from external data providers through a server operated by the developer. When retrieving price information:
- No collection data is transmitted.

Vault Hollandia does not automatically upload backups to developer-operated servers or cloud storage services.
Users are solely responsible for securing and managing exported backup files.
Photos and Camera Access
The App may request access to your device camera and storage in order to:
- Capture photos of collection items
- Store photos within the App
- Import data
- Export data
Photos remain stored locally on the user's device unless manually exported by the user.
Analytics and Tracking
Vault Hollandia does not use:

We do not sell, rent, share, or monetize user data.
Third-Party Services
The App may communicate with third-party services solely for:

Only the minimum technical information required for these services to operate may be exchanged.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect user data through encryption, secure application design, and ongoing improvements to the App.
However, no method of electronic storage, software development, or data transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
While we continuously work to improve security and reliability, users acknowledge that all software carries inherent risks.
Development Transparency
Vault Hollandia is developed using a combination of human oversight and modern AI-assisted software development tools.
AI-assisted tools, including Claude AI, may have contributed to portions of the application's codebase during development.
All functionality, security measures, and design decisions are reviewed and maintained by the developer. We continuously work to improve the App's security, stability, privacy protections, and overall user experience through ongoing learning, testing, and refinement.
Independent Project Disclaimer
Vault Hollandia is an independent passion project. The App is not operated by a corporation, financial institution, investment company, cybersecurity firm, or other professional organization.
The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
While we make reasonable efforts to maintain security, stability, and functionality, we do not guarantee that the App will always be free from bugs, vulnerabilities, interruptions, inaccuracies, or data loss.
No Financial, Investment, or Legal Advice
Vault Hollandia is intended solely as a collection, inventory, and precious metals tracking tool. Any pricing information displayed within the App is provided for informational purposes only.
Nothing within the App should be considered financial, investment, trading, tax, accounting, or legal advice. Users should conduct their own research and consult qualified professionals before making financial or investment decisions.
