Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms", "Terms of Service") carefully before using the MyVault application and service ("Service") operated by MyVault ("us", "we", "our").

Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the Service.

1. Account Registration and Security

1.1 Account Creation

To use MyVault, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete.

1.2 Account Security

You are responsible for safeguarding the password and encryption keys that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your account. Due to our zero-knowledge architecture, we cannot recover your passphrase if you lose it. Your passphrase is the key to decrypting your data, and without it, your data will remain permanently encrypted and inaccessible.

You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

2. Privacy and Data Protection

Our Service operates on a zero-knowledge architecture, which means we cannot access, read, or share your encrypted data. Your data is encrypted using keys derived from your personal passphrase, which we do not store or have access to.

2.2 Data Processing

Any processing of your data (such as AI-powered organization) occurs within secure enclaves using temporary decryption that is only accessible through your authenticated session. We cannot and will not access your unencrypted data.
