Last updated: August 18, 2026
Introduction
JWpass ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our password manager application and website (collectively, the "Service"), available at jwpass.com and through our mobile applications for iOS and Android.

Encrypted Vault Data
Your passwords and secure notes are encrypted on your device before being transmitted to our servers. We use AES-GCM 256-bit encryption with keys derived using PBKDF2 (600,000 iterations). This means:
- We cannot read your stored passwords or secure notes
- Your encryption key never leaves your device
- Only you (and those you explicitly share with) can decrypt your data

- Device type and operating system version
- Application version
- Crash reports and performance data (anonymized)
Usage Information
We collect basic usage analytics to improve our Service:
- Login timestamps (for security monitoring)
- Feature usage patterns (anonymized)
- Error logs (to diagnose and fix issues)
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
- Authenticate your identity and manage your account

- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
- Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve user experience
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security threats

Data Storage and Security
Zero-Knowledge Architecture
JWpass employs a zero-knowledge security model. Your master password is never transmitted to or stored on our servers. All encryption and decryption occurs locally on your device.
Infrastructure Security
We use industry-standard security measures including:
- TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit
- Encrypted database storage (Supabase/PostgreSQL)
- Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
- Multi-factor authentication support
- Secure hosting on Vercel (web) and compliant cloud infrastructure
Data Location
Your encrypted data is stored on servers located in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and storage of your information in the United States.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- With your organization: If you are part of a congregation or organization, administrators may have access to certain account information (but never your encrypted vault data).
- Service providers: We use trusted third-party services (Supabase for database, Vercel for hosting) that process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process. However, due to our zero-knowledge architecture, we cannot provide decrypted vault contents.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
