Crossing a border? Pack privacy.

In some countries your phone can be searched at the border. Decide what you carry.

  • Your vault is encrypted separately from the phone
  • No list of vaults to reveal what you keep
  • Back up a vault and restore it after your trip
  • Passport details with you, but not on show

How it works

Before you go

Back up the vaults you don't need on the trip and remove them from the phone.

While you travel

Keep only what you need, like passport details and bookings.

When you arrive

Restore your vaults with your recovery words.

A few honest words

We're not lawyers, and rules differ from country to country. In some places officials can require you to unlock a phone, and refusing can have consequences. Check the rules for where you're going, and follow them.

What a vault changes is what you carry. The safest file at a border is one that isn't on the phone at all: back up a vault, remove it before you travel, and restore it with your recovery words when you arrive.
