FAQ

Frequently asked
questions.

How does vault unlock work?

AstraVault uses fingerprint biometrics (via Android BiometricPrompt) as the primary unlock method. If biometrics fail or are unavailable, you can unlock with your vault passphrase. Your passphrase is the cryptographic root — biometrics are a convenience gate only.

How do Ad Boosts work?

Watch an optional 30-second ad to unlock +5 additional document slots for the day. Both Standard and Pro users can use Ad Boosts. This is completely optional — your vault access is never blocked by ads.

What if I forget my passphrase?

AstraVault is zero-knowledge — without your passphrase, nobody including AstraSoft can unlock your vault. Your passphrase is your only key. Write it down and store it offline in a safe place. There is no recovery option if you forget it.

Is my data safe if I lose my phone?

Yes. All encrypted document files are in your private Google Drive. The local SQLCipher database contains only metadata and is protected by 600K PBKDF2-derived key + AES-256-GCM. Without your passphrase, the data is unreadable.

How do I cancel my Pro purchase?

AstraVault Pro is a one-time purchase — there is no subscription to cancel. For refund requests within Google Play's refund window, contact Google Play support directly. For billing issues, email info@astravault.co.in.

Does AstraVault work without internet?

Yes. Already-synced documents are accessible offline through the encrypted local SQLCipher database. New documents you capture are queued locally and synced to Drive automatically when you go back online.

How are sensitive ID numbers protected?

When our OCR detects a 12-digit national ID pattern, it automatically masks the first 8 digits before storing any OCR snippet — protected by design. The encrypted document file itself is further protected by AES-256-GCM.
