Burrow Privacy Policy
This policy covers the Burrow app (package in.provantic.burrow), published by Provantic Technologies Private Limited, Bengaluru, India ("we"). Short version: Burrow collects nothing. We never see your files, your PIN or anything about how you use the app.
No internet, no account
Burrow has no internet permission. Android itself stops Burrow from connecting anywhere, and you can check this in the app's Play Store listing under "About this app" → "App permissions".
There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no crash reporting. Nothing you do in Burrow is sent to us or anyone else.
What stays on your phone
Your photos, videos, files and notes, their names, dates and sizes, and your folders are stored on your phone, encrypted with a key that only your PIN, pattern or password (or your 12 recovery words) can unlock. We have no copy of any key and cannot open your vaults.
A few device settings (your unlock method, auto-lock time, whether Pro is unlocked) are stored on your phone, encrypted by Android Keystore. Android's own cloud backup is switched off for Burrow, so none of this leaves the phone through Google backup either.
Backups you make
If you make a backup, Burrow writes one encrypted file to the place you pick with Android's file picker (for example Downloads, a USB drive or Google Drive). The file can be opened only with your 12 recovery words. Where you keep it, and that service's own privacy terms, are your choice.
Sharing out of Burrow
When you choose to share or open an item in another app, that app receives a readable copy. What it does with it is covered by that app's own policy. Burrow warns you the first time.
Purchases
Burrow Pro is bought through Google Play. Google processes the payment; we never see your card or bank details. To check whether Pro is unlocked, Burrow asks the Google Play Store app on your phone. That check happens on your phone, not on our servers.
Purchases use Google's Play Billing library, which runs inside Burrow only to talk to the Play Store app. It is built to send Google usage logs, but because Burrow has no internet permission it cannot send anything.
Like every Play developer, we receive order records from Google in the Play Console (such as an order number, the price, the country and the date) so we can handle refunds and our accounts. They are covered by Google's privacy policy and are not linked to anything inside Burrow.
Permissions Burrow uses
Camera and microphone: only for Burrow's private camera, which records straight into your vault. Fingerprint: only if you turn on fingerprint unlock; your fingerprint stays with Android and is never seen by Burrow. Files and photos: only the items you pick with Android's pickers.
Your rights
Because we don't collect or hold personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export or erase on our side. You control everything on your phone: "Delete this vault" destroys a vault's keys and files, and uninstalling Burrow removes everything it stored. Backups you saved elsewhere are deleted by deleting those files.
If you contact us by email, we use your message only to reply and keep it no longer than needed.
Children
Burrow is meant for adults (18+) and isn't directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and, for important changes, say so in the app's release notes.
