This Privacy Policy explains what information the App and its service providers may access, collect, use, process, store, transmit, or share; why that information is handled; how it is protected and retained; and the choices available to users.
Effective Date: October 2026CELL CAVE (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED ("Cell Cave", "we", "us", or "our") operates Cloud Storage: Secure Vault (the "App").
This Privacy Policy explains what information the App and its service providers may access, collect, use, process, store, transmit, or share; why that information is handled; how it is protected and retained; and the choices available to users.
By using the App, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
The information handled by the App depends on the features you use, the permissions you grant, your device, your region, and the services enabled in the current App version.
To create, access, and maintain an account, the App may process:
Your email address may be used for account registration, sign-in, account verification, account security, account recovery where supported, account-related communications, and sharing invitations where supported.
Account and authentication functionality may use Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Depending on the active services and features, technical information may include:
This information may be used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, monetize, maintain, and improve the App.
Cloud Storage: Secure Vault allows users to back up supported content to cloud storage.
Depending on the features selected, permissions granted, device capabilities, and current App configuration, supported backup content may include:
Users choose which supported content or categories they want to back up.
Supported backup files are encrypted on the user's device before upload.
Encrypted backup files are transmitted using encrypted network connections and remain encrypted while stored using Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure.
Supported backup content is therefore protected through:
Cell Cave does not use the contents of users' backed-up files for advertising.
When a user chooses to restore supported content, the App retrieves the applicable backup data and provides it to the authenticated user's device through the restore process.
An internet connection is required when content is uploaded to or retrieved from cloud storage.
The App requests Android permissions when needed to provide available functionality. Users may grant, deny, limit, or revoke applicable permissions through Android device settings.
If a required permission is denied or revoked, the related feature may not work or may have limited functionality.
The App may request access to photos, videos, audio, and supported media to:
Where Android supports these choices, users may be able to provide Full Access, Limited Access, or No Access.
The App may request Contacts access when a user chooses to use contact backup or restore functionality.
The App may allow users to select documents and other supported files for backup and restore. Where supported by Android and the user's device, users may also select supported content stored on external or removable storage, including an SD card.
The App may request notification permission to deliver backup-related, account, security, service, or other App notifications.
Internet and network access are required for cloud backup, restore, account services, notifications, advertising, analytics, and other online functionality.
When a user enables automatic backup, the App may periodically identify newly available eligible content and upload it according to the user's selected backup settings, permissions, network availability, and applicable Android background-processing restrictions.
Users can disable automatic backup through the available App settings. Disabling automatic backup prevents future automatic uploads but does not automatically delete content that has already been backed up.
The App may provide a Private Vault or app-lock feature for restricting access to selected content.
Depending on the App version and device capabilities, the Private Vault may use:
Users are responsible for protecting their Vault PIN, device credentials, and other security information.
The App may allow users to intentionally share supported files or folders with other people.
Depending on the available functionality, users may be able to:
When a user uses a sharing feature, information necessary to provide and manage that feature may be processed, including recipient email address, invitation information, account information, sharing permissions, and information necessary to operate the shared folder.
The App may provide an optional assistant that allows users to submit text questions and receive generated responses.
When a user chooses to use the assistant, submitted text is transmitted to and processed by infrastructure supporting the assistant. Assistant-related functionality may use AWS infrastructure and other processing services configured for this feature.
The assistant is optional and is not required for ordinary backup and restore functionality.
Users should not submit passwords, OTP codes, payment-card information, encryption keys, Private Vault PINs, or other highly sensitive security information to the assistant.
The App may use Google ML Kit to provide machine-learning-based features within the App.
The specific Google ML Kit functionality available may depend on the App version, device capabilities, and enabled App features.
No additional claims regarding the collection, storage, transmission, or sharing of information through Google ML Kit are made beyond the information-handling practices otherwise described in this Privacy Policy and the App's actual implementation.
Cloud Storage: Secure Vault uses Google and Firebase services for analytics, diagnostics, crash reporting, performance monitoring, push notifications, remote configuration, technical troubleshooting, reliability, and related functionality.
Firebase services used by the App include:
Depending on the service, Firebase may process information such as:
We do not intentionally send the contents of users' backed-up files to Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, or Firebase Cloud Messaging.
For more information, see:
The free version of the App may display advertisements through Google AdMob.
Google AdMob may process information such as advertising identifiers, IP address, device and App information, network information, advertising interactions, approximate location inferred from technical information where permitted, diagnostic information, and fraud-prevention information.
This information may be used to serve and measure advertisements, limit repeated advertising, detect fraud or invalid traffic, provide personalized advertising where permitted and consented to, and provide non-personalized advertising.
We do not use the contents of users' backed-up files to personalize advertisements.
The App uses Google User Messaging Platform (UMP), including the Google Consent Form where applicable, to obtain and manage applicable user consent and privacy choices for advertising and privacy purposes where required by applicable law or Google Play requirements.
The availability and form of consent or privacy controls may vary depending on the user's region, applicable requirements, and the advertising configuration available in the App.
For more information about Google's advertising and privacy practices:
The App may offer paid storage plans, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
Purchases and subscriptions made through Google Play are processed using Google Play Billing.
Cell Cave does not directly receive or process a user's complete credit or debit card number for purchases processed by Google Play.
The App may receive purchase and subscription information needed to determine whether a paid plan or entitlement is active.
Users can manage subscriptions, renewals, cancellations, and payment methods through their Google Play account.
Deleting an App account or uninstalling the App does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription.

Relevant purposes may include:
Google AdMob may receive or collect certain advertising-related information directly through its SDK or technologies when advertising services are active in the App.
When a user intentionally shares a file, folder, or other supported content with another person, information required to provide that sharing functionality may be disclosed to the selected recipient.
Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to:
Cell Cave does not sell personal information for direct monetary consideration.
Google advertising services may nevertheless process advertising-related information as described in this Privacy Policy, subject to applicable law, applicable consent requirements, user choices, provider terms, and the App's active advertising configuration.
Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on the purpose of processing, whether an account remains active, user choices, operational and security requirements, fraud-prevention requirements, legal obligations, and third-party provider retention practices.
Backed-up content may remain stored while associated with an active account or while necessary to provide the requested backup service.
Users may delete backed-up content using available App functionality.
Account information may be retained while necessary to maintain the account and provide backup, restore, authentication, and security functionality.
Information processed through Google and Firebase may be retained according to the App's configured settings and Google's or Firebase's applicable retention practices.
Google AdMob may retain advertising-related information according to Google's policies, settings, legal obligations, and applicable configurations.

Account deletion may be initiated from inside the App.
If a user cannot access the App, or wants additional information about the deletion process, the dedicated Account & Data Deletion page is available here:
View Account & Data Deletion Instructions
Users may also contact Cell Cave at cellcave70@gmail.com for account-deletion or privacy assistance.
When an account is deleted, associated active user-accessible backup data is deleted from the active service.
Short-lived residual copies may remain temporarily in infrastructure-provider backups, disaster-recovery systems, security systems, or other technically necessary backup systems.
Such residual copies are not retained as active user-accessible backups and may remain only for legitimate technical, security, disaster-recovery, fraud-prevention, or legal purposes.
Certain information may also be retained where required by law or necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, billing records, or enforcement of applicable agreements.
Uninstalling the App does not itself delete the user's account or cloud backup data.
Deleting an account does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription.
