Private Vault

Ensuring that your data stays safe is essential in maintaining your privacy, which more than ever is at risk, due to the advent of both online and offline malware threats, as well as various unwanted eyes. This is why having a reliable tool for keeping your digital data tucked in neatly, is essential.

In a nutshell, this is exactly what Private Vault will do for you. It was developed as a tool that can allow you to encrypt your digital data in a “vault”-type of environment, and password-protect it for restricted access.

The main working principle behind Private Vault is quite simple, all that you need to do in order to protect your data, is to add it inside the “vault”, and you can do that by either adding multiple individual files or, for convenience, entire directories. Neat.

The encryption itself is ensured via a master password, which grants you access to the vault and its contents, but this global approach might be limited in some regards, but more on that in the following section.

As stated above, the provided encryption method involves defining and using a master password for the vault, therefore enabling global protection. However, as convenient as this method might be, it makes the data contained in the vault, more vulnerable to access.

This, unlike individual encryption for each file, is a far weaker approach, which limits the app’s overall capabilities. Nevertheless, you will be able to create and restore backups of the vault data, which offers some peace of mind.

Despite being simple and offering an accessible and straightforward way of protecting your data, because it relies only on global encryption and does not offer individual file encryption, Private Vault can be more vulnerable to unwanted access.
