Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 2026 · ClickVaultHQ · ProofVault
Plain English Summary
- ProofVault captures submission evidence entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your device.
- No screenshots, page content, or captured evidence is ever uploaded or transmitted.
- No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party tracking of any kind.
- The only external call is to ExtensionPay for optional licence validation — it never sees your captured data.
- You can uninstall at any time and all locally stored data is removed.
1. Who we are
ProofVault is a Chrome browser extension developed and published by ClickVaultHQ. It is a standalone client-side tool with no user accounts, no backend servers, and no cloud infrastructure required for its core function.

2. What ProofVault does with your data
ProofVault helps you capture and store evidence for submissions, confirmations, claims, disputes, and compliance workflows. It acts as a local-first browser proof vault.
All evidence capture and storage happens entirely within your browser, using client-side JavaScript and Chrome’s local storage APIs. No screenshots, page content, captured evidence, or metadata is ever sent to any server — not ours, not anyone else’s.
The extension captures evidence from the page you are viewing, stores it locally on your device, and lets you access and export it on demand. That is the full extent of its data interaction.
3. What data is stored locally
ProofVault uses chrome.storage.local and unlimitedStorage to persist captured evidence on your device:
| Data | Purpose | Stored? | Transmitted? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page screenshots | Visual evidence of submissions and confirmations | Yes — locally | Never |
| Page metadata | URL, timestamp, and page title for evidence records | Yes — locally | Never |
| Captured evidence records | Your saved proof entries for disputes and compliance | Yes — locally | Never |
| Extension settings | Your preferences and configuration | Yes — locally | Never |
| Licence / billing state | Tracks whether you have a paid licence | Yes — locally | Only to ExtensionPay |
No captured evidence — screenshots, page content, metadata, or any other proof data — is ever transmitted off your device. Everything remains under your sole control.
4. What ProofVault never does
Hard guarantees
- Never uploads screenshots or captured evidence to any server
- Never transmits page content, metadata, or proof records
- Never sends analytics, usage data, or telemetry
- Never injects third-party scripts or loads remote code
- Never creates a user account or requires login
- Never accesses your browsing history, passwords, or other tabs
- Never sells, shares, or monetises any user data
- Never uses your captured evidence for training or any AI/ML purpose
5. Permissions explained
ProofVault requests only the Chrome permissions necessary for its core function:
- activeTab — Allows ProofVault to access the currently active tab when you invoke the extension. This is how it captures evidence from the page you are viewing.
- scripting — Used to inject the capture script into the active tab so ProofVault can read page content for evidence capture.
- storage — Used to save your captured evidence, extension settings, and licence state locally in Chrome.
- unlimitedStorage — Allows ProofVault to store a larger volume of evidence records and screenshots without hitting Chrome’s default storage quota.
ProofVault does not request broad host permissions for all websites. It only operates on the tab you explicitly activate it on.
6. Third parties (ExtensionPay)
ProofVault uses ExtensionPay (powered by Stripe) for optional paid licence management. When you purchase or validate a licence, ExtensionPay communicates with Stripe’s infrastructure to process payment.
ExtensionPay receives only the information necessary to manage your subscription — it never receives any captured evidence, screenshots, page content, or metadata from your proof records.
Apart from ExtensionPay, ProofVault has no third-party integrations, SDKs, or analytics libraries. The extension makes zero other outbound network requests during normal operation.
7. GDPR and personal data
Because ProofVault processes and stores evidence entirely on your device and never transmits it, no personal data from your captured evidence is collected, stored, or processed by ClickVaultHQ under the meaning of the GDPR.
If you are located in the EEA or UK, your rights under the GDPR — including the right to access, rectify, and erase personal data — apply to the limited billing data held by ExtensionPay/Stripe when you make a purchase. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at clickvaulthq@gmail.com.
ProofVault does not process evidence on behalf of any third party. Your captured data remains under your sole control at all times.
8. Children’s privacy
ProofVault is a productivity tool intended for adults and business professionals. We do not knowingly collect any data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will address it immediately.
9. Changes to this policy
If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via the Chrome Web Store listing update notes.
Continued use of ProofVault after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
