TRUST · CURRENT AS OF FEB 2026

Your financial life deserves the quiet kind of security.

We only publish security claims we can prove today. This page describes exactly what VAULT does, what it never does, and where each control sits in the product.

WHAT WE NEVER STORE

The things VAULT never asks for.

VAULT organises your financial information. It is not a payment system, it is not a bank client, and it does not attempt to move money on your behalf. That means we never need — and we never store:

  • CVV or card security code
  • PIN for any card, account or app
  • OTP from your bank, wallet or card issuer
  • Internet-banking passwords or app credentials
  • Full card numbers — VAULT only stores the last 4 digits for identification
If any interface ever asks you for a CVV, PIN or OTP, it is not a legitimate VAULT screen. Please report it to security@vaultbypd.com.
ACCOUNT SECURITY

How you sign in — and stay signed in safely.

Passkeys (biometric auth)

Sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello or a hardware key. Passkeys are the WebAuthn / FIDO2 standard — there is no shared secret to steal or phish.

Password + bcrypt

Passwords are salted and hashed with bcrypt (cost 12) before they ever hit the database. We can never read your password, only verify it.

Re-auth for sensitive actions

Removing a passkey, exporting data or changing security controls requires a fresh authentication — even if you're already signed in.

Session tokens with short lifetime

Access tokens live 30 minutes; refresh tokens rotate every 7 days. Sign out of one browser and every session on that device ends.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Mine. Partner. Joint. Together — with real boundaries.

VAULT Together is built around four privacy zones. What lives in one zone is not visible to another unless you explicitly move it.

Mine
Private to you. Nobody else on your household — not even your partner — can see it.
Partner
Private to your partner. You cannot see it unless they choose to share it with you.
Joint
Financial items you own or manage together — home loan, joint accounts, shared subscriptions.
Together
Household-level summary of the shared items. No private items leak into Together.

Family plans extend the same model — every family member has their own private zone, and the shared household zone shows only what everyone has opted to share.

DATA PROTECTION

What actually protects your data today.

TLS 1.2+ in transit

Every request between your browser, our API and our database is encrypted in transit. HTTPS is enforced; plain-HTTP traffic is rejected at the edge.

Workspace isolation

Every record is scoped to a tenant_id filter server-side. A finance user in one household cannot query another household's data, even by ID.

Complete audit log

Every create / edit / delete / login / export event is written to an immutable audit log we can replay if you ever need to know what happened.

Role-based access

Admin, Finance, Expense-user and Viewer each see only what their role allows. Cross-role privilege escalation is enforced at the endpoint, not in the UI.

Not claimed: field-level encryption at rest, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI-DSS certifications. These are on our roadmap; we do not claim them until an independent auditor has signed the report.
YOUR CONTROLS

You can see everything, and you can leave with everything.

Export your data

Download every record in your workspace as JSON, any time, from Settings → Data Export. Nothing is held hostage.

Delete your account

Delete your workspace and every associated record from Settings → Account. Deletions are queued for 24 hours in case you change your mind, then purged.

Privacy Mode

Hide balances and card numbers with a single tap — useful when you're screen-sharing or on a train. Nothing about you appears in browser history.

RESPONSIBLE DISCLOSURE

If you find a security issue, we want to hear from you.

Email security@vaultbypd.com with steps to reproduce, expected impact and any supporting artefacts. We acknowledge every report within 3 business days. Please do not test on live customer workspaces or run destructive scans — the demo at /demo is a safe target.

DELETION & RETENTION

What happens when you leave.

  • Live records: deleted immediately from primary storage.
  • Backups: encrypted rolling backups are overwritten within 35 days.
  • Audit log: retained for one year for security-forensics purposes, then purged.
  • Billing records: retained for the period local law requires (typically 7 years in India).
