1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide, maintain, and secure our digital legacy and estate management services:

• Account Information: When you register for an account, subscribe to a plan, or update your profile, we collect your name, email address, phone numbers (home, work, mobile), and billing details.
• Vault Data & Digital Assets: Information, files, documents, credentials, secure notes, and final instructions that you intentionally upload and store within your encrypted vault.

• Usage & Technical Data: Information about how you interact with our platform, including your IP address, browser type, device information, access times, and automated check-in ("heartbeat") timestamps.

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide and Maintain the Service: Operating your account, processing your subscription payments, managing user profiles, and executing automated check-in monitoring.
