I. Strategic Privacy Overview
Android's standard security model relies on a single point of failure: the lock screen. Professional privacy requires a secondary, isolated partition that physically encrypts data archives. This ensures that even on a compromised device, your critical folders remain an unreadable cipher.

Technical FAQ
Forgotten Master PIN? ▼
True encryption architecture prohibits backdoors. Access recovery is strictly dependent on the verified email configured during initial deployment.
SD Card Support? ▼
Native OS safe folders often skip external storage. Folder Lock explicitly supports AES-256 for SD card directories to ensure hardware portability doesn't compromise privacy.
