4. HOW YOUR CONTENT IS ENCRYPTED, AND WHEN WE CAN DECRYPT IT
This section describes how your content is protected and when the recovery key is used. Please read it rather than relying on a summary. The legal acknowledgment of the recovery-key architecture is in Section 3 of the Terms of Service.
4.1 Encryption
Your User Content is encrypted in your browser, before it is uploaded. It is stored encrypted, and it is transmitted encrypted. Your password is never sent to us and is not stored anywhere on our systems.
Each account has a master key, which is what your content is actually encrypted with. That master key is stored in two wrapped forms: one that can only be opened with your password, and one that can only be opened with a key held by ForeverVault in Amazon Web Services Key Management Service.
4.2 What the second copy is for
That second wrapped copy is the recovery key. It is what allows you to reset a forgotten password without losing everything, and what allows us to deliver your documents to the people you have nominated after your death, when you are no longer present to supply a password.
ForeverVault staff do not view, browse, or inspect your documents. No employee has a console for opening vaults. The people who can see your content are you, anyone you share with or nominate, and — only if the law requires it — a party named in a valid legal order.
4.3 The only situations in which the recovery key is used
Our systems are built so that the ForeverVault-held key can only be used for the following five purposes. Any other request is refused by the software itself, not merely by policy:
a. Password reset. When you have forgotten your password and complete our identity verification, so that your vault can be re-secured under your new password.
b. Legacy delivery. When the conditions you configured are met and we deliver your legacy portfolio to the recipients you nominated.
c. Share delivery. When you have shared an item and we make it readable to the recipient you chose, who does not hold your key.
d. Trusted contact release. When a trusted contact you designated completes the release process you configured.
e. Emergency message. Reading an encrypted contact detail you stored, so we can send an emergency message you configured.
Every one of these is an action you asked us to be able to perform. We do not access User Content outside them. No ForeverVault employee has a facility for browsing or reading your documents, every use of the key is recorded in an audit log we retain, and use of the key requires live credentials that can be revoked.
4.4 Your responsibilities
We cannot verify the accuracy, validity, or legal sufficiency of anything you upload.
You remain responsible for safeguarding your credentials, for keeping your nominated contacts current, and for understanding that the people you nominate will be able to read what you have designated for them.
5. NO STORAGE OF SENSITIVE CRYPTOGRAPHIC SECRETS
ForeverVault does not permit or support storage of private cryptographic keys, seed phrases, or mnemonic codes for third-party wallets or accounts.
Encrypted passwords you choose to keep in the Digital Wallet are stored on your behalf and are not used by ForeverVault for any other purpose.
Users bear all responsibility for compliance with this requirement.
6. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
We do not sell your information.
We may share limited personal data only in the following circumstances:
6.1 Service Providers
We use trusted third-party companies to provide:
Hosting (AWS)
Email delivery
SMS transmission
Error logging
Payment processing (Stripe)
These providers act only on our instructions and under contractual confidentiality obligations.
6.2 Legal Process
ForeverVault will disclose User Content only when required by applicable law or by legal process that ForeverVault reasonably determines to be valid, binding, and enforceable.
To the extent permitted by law, ForeverVault will notify you before disclosing your User Content so that you may seek appropriate legal relief. If ForeverVault is legally prohibited from providing prior notice, ForeverVault may provide notice after the prohibition expires, unless otherwise prohibited by law.
ForeverVault reserves the right, but does not undertake an obligation, to challenge or seek to narrow any request that it reasonably believes is unlawful, defective, or excessive. Any legally compelled disclosure will, where reasonably practicable, be limited to the User Content specifically required by the applicable legal process.
Except as authorized by you, required by applicable law, or expressly described in the Terms of Service or this Policy, ForeverVault will not disclose decrypted User Content to third parties.
6.3 With Your Direction
When you:
Share content
Add trusted contacts
Approve legacy actions
Designate an executor or heir
6.4 Estate Requests
Upon verified death and proper documentation, we may disclose limited information to authorized heirs or representatives as described in the Terms of Service.
7. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS
ForeverVault stores all data exclusively within the United States using AWS infrastructure.
We do not transfer User Content or personal data outside the U.S.
8. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only as necessary to:
Maintain your account
Provide the Service
Comply with legal obligations
Resolve disputes
Enforce our Terms
8.1 Account Deletion
When you delete your account:
Encrypted User Content is permanently deleted
Backup copies are purged according to our retention schedule
Some transactional or security logs may remain where legally required
8.2 Inactive Accounts
In accordance with user-selected inactivity settings, ForeverVault may:
Mark accounts as inactive
Notify trusted contacts
Restrict account activity
Close accounts after extended inactivity (e.g., 24 months)
8.3 Accounts of Deceased Users
As per the Terms of Service:
Accounts remain accessible to authorized heirs for up to 24 months
Thereafter, the account and all encrypted content are permanently deleted
9. SECURITY
We implement administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, including:
Client-side encryption
TLS encryption in transit
Strong credential hashing
Access controls
System monitoring
AWS infrastructure protections
No system is 100% secure. Users must maintain secure devices and passwords.
10. YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may request:
Access to personal information
Correction or updates
Deletion of personal data
Restriction of processing
Portability of non-encrypted data
Withdrawal of consent for certain processing
Requests: info@forevervault.com
We can delete your User Content and export it to you. We do not, however, decrypt and inspect User Content in order to answer content-level questions about it, such as identifying every document that mentions a particular person; the key is restricted to the five purposes in Section 4.3 and searching your documents on request is not one of them.
11. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The Service is not directed to children under sixteen (16).
If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us, and we will take appropriate action.
12. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We may update this Policy from time to time.
Changes will be posted with a new "Last Updated" date.
Material changes may be communicated via email or in-service notifications.
Your continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
