Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Bazinet Vault, (bazinet.net), is designed as a zero-knowledge password manager.
The Service is intended to encrypt user vault data on the user's device before storage. Under normal operation, we are not intended to have access to users' master passwords or decrypted vault contents.
However, because software may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, implementation errors, or unforeseen defects, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or disclosure can never occur.
2. Development Status
Bazinet Vault is an experimental service under active development.
The Service has not necessarily undergone independent security audits and may contain bugs, vulnerabilities, or implementation errors.
Users should not assume the Service provides the same level of assurance as established commercial password managers.
Use of the Service is at your own risk.

We display advertising through Google AdSense on our public marketing pages only — never on pages where your vault is accessed. With your consent, Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads (see "Cookies & Advertising" below).
5. Third-Party Providers
We may use third-party providers including:

- Future infrastructure, hosting, analytics, email, security, or operational providers.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations.
6. Cookies & Advertising
We use strictly-necessary cookies for authentication, security, fraud prevention, and operation of the Service. These are always active and do not track you for advertising.
On our public marketing pages we also use Google AdSense to display ads, which helps keep the Service free. Advertising cookies and related processing load only after you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. If you decline, no ad cookies are set. You can change your choice at any time via "Cookie preferences" in the footer. Advertising never runs on the pages where your vault is unlocked or displayed.
Google may use cookies to personalize and measure ads. Learn more in Google's advertising policies and manage ad personalization at Google Ad Settings.
7. Data Retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, maintain, improve, or comply with legal obligations relating to the Service.
Retention periods may change over time.
8. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information.
However:
- No security system is perfect.
- No method of transmission is completely secure.
- No software can guarantee confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
You acknowledge these risks by using the Service.
9. Data Deletion
You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.
Deletion requests may be subject to operational, security, backup, legal, or technical limitations.
10. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed toward children under the age required by applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
11. International Processing
Information may be processed, stored, or transferred in jurisdictions where our infrastructure providers operate.
Those jurisdictions may have privacy protections different from those in your location.
12. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time.
The updated version becomes effective when published.
