What is TrustKey?

There are things only you know. Information, files, and messages that matter to the people you love — but that they'd never find on their own. TrustKey makes sure that if something happens to you, that knowledge reaches the right hands.

It's a private encrypted vault with a built-in "dead man's switch". If you stop logging in, it automatically delivers your files and messages to the people you choose — and only to them. No lawyers, no paperwork. Simple, private, and always ready.

How does it work?

1. Set up your vault. Register, choose your plan, and upload what you want to pass on — files, documents, or a personal message. Designate your Safety Contacts: the people who will receive it.

2. Stay active. Log in periodically to reset your countdown timer. That's all TrustKey needs to know you're still there.

3. If you go silent, TrustKey acts. When your timer expires, we send you reminder emails first. If there's still no response after several days, your Safety Contacts are gently notified to check on you. If you remain unreachable, the switch activates: your contacts receive a unique access key and can download everything you left for them. They have 30 days to do so.

Changed your mind? Log back in at any point — even after activation — and everything resets instantly. Your contacts lose access and your vault returns to normal.

How do we protect you?

Privacy is the foundation, not an afterthought. Your files and messages are encrypted on your device before they reach our servers. We store encrypted data — not readable content — and we commit contractually never to access it. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Additional protections included in every plan:

• Duress password. If you're ever forced to open your vault, enter your secondary password. Your contacts receive a silent alert while anyone watching sees nothing but an empty account.
• Secure password recovery. Recovery links are sent to your email and only become active after a 24-hour delay — an extra layer of protection against coercion.

A few things worth knowing:

• TrustKey is a secure delivery channel, not a primary cloud backup. Keep your own copies of important files.
• Once activated, your Safety Contacts have 30 days to download their files. After that, all data is permanently deleted from our servers.
• TrustKey is not a legal will or testament. For formal succession planning, please consult a qualified professional in your country.
