Terms of Service

There is no recovery. Fotolok encrypts your files with a key that stays locked inside your device's Android Keystore, and the app opens your vault only with your PIN (or your fingerprint, if you turn that on). A backup file can be opened only with its backup passphrase. There is no PIN reset. If you forget your PIN and do not have a backup with its passphrase, your files cannot be recovered by anyone, including us. This is by design and is what keeps your files private. Please read Sections 3 and 4 carefully.

1. What Fotolok Does

Fotolok is an on-device vault that encrypts the photos and videos you choose to hide, using AES-256-GCM with a key held in the Android Keystore. Everything is processed and stored on your device. The app has no server and does not upload your content anywhere.

2. Free and Paid Features

Fotolok is free to use, with an optional one-time in-app purchase (not a subscription) that unlocks additional capacity beyond the free tier. The current free-tier limits and the purchase price are always shown in the app before you buy. Purchases are processed by Google Play and are subject to Google Play's Terms of Service; refunds, where applicable, are handled according to Google Play's refund policy.

3. Your Responsibilities

4. Data Loss

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LogicGateGames LLC is not liable for loss of your photos, videos, or other data resulting from: a forgotten PIN or backup passphrase; uninstalling the app without a backup; loss, damage, reset, or theft of your device; or your use of optional security features — including the "erase the vault after repeated failed unlock attempts" option, which permanently deletes vault contents when enabled and triggered; or the permanent removal of items left in the in-app recycle bin for 30 days.

5. Optional Security Features

Fotolok includes optional features such as a decoy vault and a calculator disguise. The calculator disguise changes only the app's launcher icon and name on your device, and opens a working calculator in which you type your PIN; on the Google Play Store, Fotolok is listed honestly as a photo vault. These features are provided as-is to help protect your privacy; you are responsible for choosing how to use them.

6. No Warranty

Fotolok is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. While the app is built to protect your files, no software can guarantee protection against every possible form of device compromise, malware, or physical access. Use it as one layer of your privacy, not your only one.

7. Intellectual Property

The Fotolok app, name, and design are the property of LogicGateGames LLC. Your photos and videos remain entirely yours — we never access them.

8. Changes to These Terms

Updated terms will be posted at this URL with a revised date. Continued use of the app constitutes acceptance.
