The most private data is the data nobody collects.

In short
Latent works without an account or an email address, shows no advertising and collects no analytics by default. If you choose to send crash reports, they never contain file names or content.
Key takeaways
- No account, no email, no sign-in.
- No advertising and no third-party advertising code.
- No telemetry by default.
Why a vault should not have an account
An account is a list of people who use a privacy app, held on someone’s server. It can be breached, subpoenaed or sold. Latent has nothing of the kind to lose, because it never had it.
Why no analytics by default
Usage analytics in a vault app reveal patterns — how often you open it, how many files you add, when. Latent sends none of this unless you decide otherwise.
Crash reports
Crash reports help fix bugs. If you turn them on, they describe what went wrong in the code, never which files you had or what they were called.
