🔁 Transfer Policy (Information Release Policy)
1. Overview
- This policy explains when and how we transfer your vault items to your chosen recipients. It also explains the approvals required, how you can update or cancel transfer, and what the service operator can and cannot see.
- This policy summarizes the transfer protocol (DAV‑TP v0.1) in plain language for end users.
2. Your Control
You remain in full control of your Vault Data at all times while your account is active.
You can:
- Add, update, or remove beneficiaries
- Modify access rules and release conditions
- Update or delete stored information
No data will be released unless your defined conditions are met.
3. Key Roles
- Account Owner: You, the person who creates the vault and sets a transfer policy.
- Beneficiaries: Individuals selected by you to receive your information after the release process is completed.
- Executors: Trusted individuals you may assign to assist in confirming events or overseeing the release process.
4. Release Triggers
These may include:
- Account inactivity for a specified period "More than 90 days"
- A request initiated by designated individuals - Executor/Executors
- Submission of verification documentation (such as proof of death)
- Other conditions you configure within your account
5. Verification Process
This may include:
- Contacting designated individuals (such as executors or trusted contacts)
- Reviewing submitted documentation
- Applying waiting or grace periods Additional internal checks to reduce the risk of error or misuse
6. Your Control During the Grace Period
- You can cancel transfer at any time during the grace period by signing in and selecting “Cancel transfer.”
- Canceling ends the current request. A future trigger could start a new review if conditions are met again.
- After the grace period ends, the transfer cannot be canceled.
7. Security and Limitations
- No system can guarantee absolute prevention of all risks
- We rely on the accuracy of the information and contacts you provide
- We do not independently verify all external events beyond reasonable measures
We are not responsible for losses resulting from inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information provided by the user.
8. No Legal or Fiduciary Role
- We are not a law firm, trustee, or fiduciary, and we do not provide legal or tax advice.
- We do not adjudicate disputes. We rely on the approvals and evidence rules you set in your policy.
- We do not share your vault contents with anyone, including employees as we have no access to such data. Your vault items are encrypted end‑to‑end.
- This service does not replace a legally valid will, estate plan, or professional legal advice.
9. Security & Privacy
- Your items are encrypted with keys that only you (and, after approval, your recipients) can use. The service stores ciphertext and metadata only.
- Guardian approvals and transfer records are signed and recorded for audit.
- We minimize personal data, and we retain audit records of transfer decisions.
9. Updating Your Policy
- You can change recipients, guardians, thresholds, grace period, and item mappings at any time from your account settings.
- When you save changes, a new Transfer Ticket is created. Future transfers will follow the latest policy.
10. Edge Cases & Failures
- If a recipient loses access to their keys before transfer, you or they can register a new key while you are alive.
- If a guardian changes keys, you can update them anytime. During a transfer, any guardian with a registered key may approve.
- If a recipient is unreachable after release, they can still claim items later with their registered identity.
11. Complaints & Disputes
- If you believe a transfer review was started in error, cancel during the grace period and contact support.
- If a recipient believes an item mapping is wrong, they must contact the owner’s estate or executor; we follow the owner’s saved policy.
