Introduction
A vault next to messaging — not a second chat history.
Private Vault is Buzzio’s place for materials you want locked under a second unlock path: device biometric or PIN, plus vault wrap keys you hold. Store folders, media, encrypted notes, and site + password entries without mixing them into sealed chat threads.
Content is encrypted before upload. Staff cannot open your vault. We do not sell vault contents.
Why Buzzio is best for a private vault
Encrypt before upload
Files and notes are sealed on your device. The cloud holds ciphertext, not a staff browsing panel.
Second unlock path
Device lock plus vault recovery material — leave the vault and the in-memory key clears for the next visit.
Separate from chats
Conversations stay in chat. Vault is for durable private files and secrets you do not want in a thread.
Honest plan ladder
Free space forever for light use; paid Standard, Pro, and Elite tiers when you need more room.
Not chat backup
Encrypted backup restores sealed history. Vault stores the files and notes you put in it on purpose.
No staff override
Lose PIN, phrase wrap, or vault recovery key without a fallback you control — nobody can reopen that vault for you.
What you get
Folders, media, encrypted notes, and password entries — behind biometric / PIN unlock and keys you custody.
- Biometric / PIN unlock
- E2E before upload
- Folders & media
- Encrypted notes
- Password entries
- 20 MB free forever
- Paid space tiers
- Separate from backup
How it works
Unlock model
Open Private Vault
From Profile → Private Vault on the Buzzio app.
Unlock the device gate
Use biometric or device PIN when Buzzio asks — the first layer of the vault door.
Hold vault wrap keys
Vault wrap uses either your 12-word phrase wrap or a separate 64-character vault recovery key you create.
Leave clears memory
Leaving the vault clears the in-memory key so the next visit re-prompts — less idle unlock residue.
Encryption
Vault content is encrypted client-side before it leaves the phone. Buzzio stores encrypted blobs so you can reopen them later. Without your unlock material, those blobs stay sealed — including from Buzzio staff.
Treat vault recovery material like cash. Never send it to support.
Storage plans
Exact store prices can change — confirm in-app. Typical space ladder:
Space
- Free — 20 MB forever
- Standard — about 25 GB
- Pro — about 50 GB
- Elite — about 100 GB
After a paid plan ends
- Uploads pause when space is over limit
- Download, share, and delete still work
- Cloud vault files are typically retained about 90 days, then removed
Private Vault is a separate paid product from Buzzio Premium, encrypted chat backup, Rocket Drop, and Whisper Link Packs.
What to store
- Folders and media uploads you want locked
- Encrypted notes that should not live in a chat thread
- Site name + password entries
- Sensitive documents you still want on an encrypted cloud path
Boundaries
Private Vault vs Encrypted backup
Private Vault
- Personal file and secret locker
- You choose what enters
- Biometric + vault key unlock
- Free 20 MB + paid tiers
Encrypted backup
- Restore private chat history
- 1:1 + permanent E2E groups
- Backup recovery key unlock
- Different free / Premium cloud sizes
What Private Vault does not mean
Vault is not Rocket Drop transfer fuel, not chat backup, not Saved Messages, and not Whisper Link Packs. It is not available as a sealed vault client in the open web product. And there is no staff recovery if you lose every unlock path you set.
Tips
- Write down your vault recovery key offline before you rely on it
- Confirm plan prices and age rules in the app store listing
- Export or download important files before a paid plan grace ends
- Use sealed chats for conversation; use Vault for durable private files
