One Pro feature you can access on a free

trial basis is PIN Timeout. This keeps KeepSafe

unlocked for 30 seconds after you leave the app, so

it’s perfect if you’re fed up of having to re-enter your

PIN every time your device goes to sleep or you

accidentally exit KeepSafe.

What happens to

my photos and

videos if I uninstall

KeepSafe?

The contents of your KeepSafe

account are associated with

your email address. This means

that if you uninstall KeepSafe

from your device, you can

always recover your content at

a later date by reinstalling the

app and logging in with your

original email address.

How do I prevent

KeepSafe from

copying all my

hidden photos

andvideosto

Private Cloud?

Private Cloud is the key to

syncing KeepSafe content

across all your devices. Backing

up your content to Private Cloud

also means that if your Android

smartphone or tablet breaks,

you won’t lose all the photos

and videos in your KeepSafe

account. However, if you don’t

want to back up your content to

Private Cloud, you can disable

this sync by opening KeepSafe’s

Settings and deselecting

Enable Private Cloud.
