Portable Hole

Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2024

Privacy Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Portable Hole ("the Application", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the app. Portable Hole is built as a local-first digital vault, so the core experience is designed to keep your saved content on your own device.
