Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the VaultCard Android application ("the App") developed by Narsing Shah ("Developer", "we", "our", "us"). By downloading, installing, or using VaultCard, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using VaultCard, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App. Your continued use of the App constitutes your acceptance of any changes to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

VaultCard is a privacy-first Android contact management application that allows you to:

• Store and manage contacts locally on your device, separate from your default phonebook

• Back up and restore contacts via Google Drive or local VCF files
• Set Stay-In-Touch reminders for periodic contact with your connections
• Secure the app with a PIN lock and mask phone numbers for privacy

VaultCard does not access, read, or modify your device's default contact list or address book.

3. User Accounts

VaultCard can be used without creating an account. Google Sign-In is optional and used solely for Google Drive backup and restore functionality. If you choose to sign in with Google:
