Privacy Policy
We collect nothing.
Last updated: November 9, 2026
ReallyLocked is a vault for your photos and videos. We built it so that we never receive your data, and we could not read it if we did.
What we collect
Nothing. ReallyLocked has no accounts and no server of ours, and it contains no analytics, advertising or tracking code. We do not collect, store or sell any personal data, usage data or device identifiers.
Your photos and videos
Everything you add is encrypted on your iPhone before it is stored. The keys are derived from your pattern and from a key held in your iPhone's Secure Enclave, and they never leave your device. When you export a photo, the app writes a temporary decrypted copy for the share sheet or Photos and deletes it afterwards.
Encrypted iCloud backup
Backup is optional and on by default. With backup on, ReallyLocked uploads encrypted data only: encrypted chunks of your items, an encrypted index, and a recovery envelope that only your 12 word recovery phrase can open. It goes to your own private iCloud database, operated by Apple under your Apple Account. We have no access to that database. Apple's handling of iCloud data is covered by Apple's privacy policy.
To delete the backup, turn backup off in ReallyLocked's Settings while you are online. This deletes every ReallyLocked backup record in your iCloud. You can also remove ReallyLocked's data in your iPhone's iCloud settings.
Permissions
- Camera and microphone: used only by the secure camera inside the app. Captures go straight into your encrypted vault.
- Photos: importing uses Apple's photo picker, which needs no permission. ReallyLocked asks for access only if you choose to delete the originals after an import, and asks to add photos only when you export one to Photos.
Purchases
ReallyLocked Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple processes payments. We receive no payment details, and the app checks your purchase on the device.
Data retention and deletion
We hold no data about you, so there is nothing for us to retain or delete. Deleting the app removes your vaults from the iPhone. Your encrypted iCloud backup stays in your iCloud until you turn backup off in the app or delete it in iCloud settings.
Children
ReallyLocked does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
