Vault — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2026

Vault does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal data. It has no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no tracking. The developer never receives anything you save.

What Vault stores, and where

Everything you save stays in your browser, on your device: video links and previous links, titles, thumbnail links, thumbnail images you upload yourself, tags, cast names and aliases, ratings, notes, lengths, favorite moments, your settings, and — if you set a PIN — a scrambled (salted and hashed) version of it, never the PIN itself.

When Vault reads web pages

• When you click the Vault button on a page, Vault reads that page once to fill in the save form: its title, link, preview image, video length and where the video is playing. It does not read other tabs or your browsing history.
• When you click a saved moment, Vault moves the video player on that page to the chosen time.

Network activity

Vault never sends your data anywhere. It only loads things from the websites your saved videos come from:

• thumbnail images, to show them in your library;
• if you turn on thumbnail matching (off by default): those thumbnails again, to compare them on your device and warn you about duplicates;
• if you click Get thumbnail from link: that one video page, once, to read its thumbnail.

These requests go directly from your browser to those websites, like visiting them yourself. Vault adds nothing about you to them.

Backups

Backups are files you create and keep. If you share one using your computer's Share menu (for example by email), it goes wherever you send it. You can protect backups with a password; Vault then encrypts the file on your device and never stores or sends the password.

Your control

• Export your data at any time from Settings → Backup & restore.
• Turn optional permissions off at any time in Settings.
• Removing the extension deletes all of its data from your browser.
