Legacy Safe (LegacySafe) is a secure digital vault service designed specifically for families to manage and transmit sensitive information to designated beneficiaries. The platform operates on a "dead man switch" principle where stored data (passwords, documents, secrets) is only transmitted to loved ones after a series of reminders if the user becomes unresponsive.
Key Features
- Secure Digital Vault: Store passwords, documents, and sensitive information with AES-256 encryption
- Dead Man Switch Functionality: Automatic transmission only occurs after multiple reminders if user becomes unresponsive
- Targeted Distribution: Each designated beneficiary receives only the information specifically allocated to them
- European Data Hosting: All data is stored and processed within the European Union with GDPR compliance
- Device-Side Encryption: Sensitive data is encrypted on the user's device before transmission
- Multi-Factor Authentication: Optional second-factor authentication for enhanced security
- Free Tier Available: Start without payment, upgrade to paid plans (Sérénité or Premium) for advanced features
Use Cases
- Families with Children: Securely transmit access to bank accounts, insurance, and administrative documents
- Isolated Parents: Prepare clear digital succession plans with designated contacts
- Caregivers: Centralize access information for elderly parents' digital assets
- Professional Advisors: Financial planners and insurance professionals can offer this as a value-added service to clients
Technical Implementation
The service uses client-side encryption, European hosting infrastructure, and a structured reminder system before any data transmission occurs. Users maintain full control over what information is shared and with whom, with the system only activating after confirmed inactivity.
