Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Trovum is built so that we never have your data. We have no servers that store it, no accounts, and no analytics. This policy explains what that means in practice.

The short version

• We do not collect, receive, store, sell or share any personal information.
• Your records are encrypted and stored only on your device.
• There is no account, no sign-up, no advertising and no analytics or crash-reporting SDK in the app.

What stays on your device

Everything you add to Trovum (passport, visa and ID details, scans and photos, dates, notes and the answers Trovum derives from them) is saved in encrypted storage on your phone. We cannot see it, recover it or reset it for you. If you lose your device without a backup, or delete the app, the data is gone.

Device features the app uses

Trovum asks for access to these features only to do what you ask, and processes everything locally:

• Camera and photos/files: to scan or import a document. Text recognition (OCR) runs on your device.
• NFC: to read the chip in a biometric passport or ID card. The data goes into your vault and nowhere else.
• Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint: to lock the app. Biometric data is handled by your operating system; Trovum never receives it.
• Notifications: to remind you before a document expires. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device, not sent from a server.
• On-device AI (optional): if you switch on free-form questions, they are answered by the model built into your phone (Apple Intelligence or Gemini Nano). Your questions and records are not sent to us or to any third party by Trovum.

You can withdraw any of these permissions at any time in your device settings.

Exporting and sharing

If you export or share a file from Trovum, you choose the destination and the file goes there directly from your device. Once it leaves the app, its handling is governed by the app or service you sent it to.

Purchases

Trovum is a paid app. Your purchase is processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We do not receive your payment details, and we do not receive your name or email address from the stores. Apple and Google handle that information under their own privacy policies. We may see aggregate sales figures that the stores provide to developers; these do not identify you.

Backups

Your operating system may include app data in its own device backups (such as iCloud or Google backup), depending on your device settings. Those backups are controlled by Apple or Google and your settings, not by us.

This website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party requests. Fonts and images are served from the site itself. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and request time) for security and operation; we do not use them to identify visitors.

Children

Trovum is a general-purpose records tool and is not directed at children under 13. Because we collect no personal information, we hold no data about any user, children included.

Your rights

Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, port or delete on our side. You are in full control: you can edit or delete any record in the app, or remove everything by deleting the app. If privacy law where you live (for example GDPR or CCPA) gives you rights, they are satisfied by this design.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change how Trovum handles data, we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect. A change that involves collecting data would be a significant change and would be clearly announced in the app.
