Rowan, by Animum Rege LLC. Last updated 2026-07-12.
Rowan is built so that no one but the people you choose can ever open your vault — not Animum Rege, and not Apple.
Nothing. Rowan has no analytics, no tracking, and no servers of our own. We do not receive your vault, your contacts, your usage, or any personal information.
Everything you add to your vault is encrypted on your device before it is stored, and it is kept only in your own iCloud account. Because it is encrypted on your device, Apple cannot read it either. We never hold your data or the keys to it.
The people you invite are identified through Apple’s iCloud sharing, using your own iCloud connections. Rowan cannot open your vault, cannot bypass the number of people you require to agree, and cannot see what your vault contains.
Your vault can only be opened when the number of people you chose agree, and after the challenge window you set — enforced by cryptography (the quorum) and by loud alerts plus your one-tap veto (the window). We are never in a position to open it.
Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We never see your payment details.
You can delete your vault and circle at any time in the app, which removes your data from iCloud. Deleting the app removes it from your device.
