The most common topics.

Kipa stores your vault locally, so reinstalling is not a troubleshooting step to take before securing a backup.

Camera and scanning

Check camera access, automatic page detection, multi-page scanning, and photo attachments.

Face ID or fingerprint

Device biometrics must first be enrolled in iOS or Android settings before Kipa lock can be enabled.

Backup and transfer

Kipa creates password-protected backup and transfer files that you choose where to save or share.

Delete local data

Delete individual items inside Kipa. Removing the app also removes its local vault, subject to operating-system behavior.

Permission guide

Why Kipa asks.

Permissions are requested in context. You can say no and change them later in system settings.

Camera and photos

Used only when you scan, take a photo, or choose an existing document image.

Notifications

Used to schedule reminders locally. Kipa does not use push-notification tokens.

Biometrics

Used to unlock the vault if you enable app lock. Face and fingerprint data remain with the operating system.
