Give the important documents that do not need to stay online a secure offline home, available when you need them, physically disconnected when you do not.

Identity**Passports** Home**Property** Health**Medical** Future**Wills** Legacy**Family archive** Money**Tax and pensions** Storage**Dedicated hardware** Access**Controlled by you** When closed**No standing network path** A simple family question ## If you were not available tomorrow, would anyone know where your records are? Most people hold important records. Fewer have one clear, protected place for the things another person may need when life suddenly becomes difficult. **01** ### Someone needs your passport. The latest copy is somewhere between email, an old laptop, a phone and a cloud drive. **Identity and travel** **02** ### You need to make an insurance claim. Where are the policy, receipts, photographs, valuations and proof that you owned what was lost? **Home and recovery** **03** ### Someone has to manage your affairs. They know there is a will, but which version, where is it, and what else will they need? **Estate and succession** **04** ### A device or account disappears. The device that failed was also holding the easiest copy of information you cannot recreate. **Continuity** The personal records checklist ## Get the important information in order. Start with what already exists. The aim is not to move every personal file into a vault. It is to identify the records that are hardest to replace, most damaging to expose or most important for somebody else to find. Your records inventory ### Six areas of records almost everyone holds. Use this as a first-pass checklist. You can organise the files before you even decide which Firevault product you need. **Identity → Home → Money → Health → Family → Future** Your identity ### Identity - ✓ Passports - ✓ Birth certificates - ✓ Marriage certificates - ✓ Driving licences - ✓ Qualifications Your home ### Property - ✓ Title deeds - ✓ Mortgage documents - ✓ Home insurance - ✓ Valuations - ✓ Important receipts Your money ### Financial - ✓ Tax records - ✓ Pension information - ✓ Investment evidence - ✓ Asset records - ✓ Key statements Your health ### Health and care - ✓ Medical history - ✓ Health insurance - ✓ Care instructions - ✓ Important correspondence - ✓ Emergency information Your family ### Family archive - ✓ Family photographs - ✓ Important videos - ✓ Children's records - ✓ Genealogy - ✓ Letters and memories Your future ### Estate and succession - ✓ Will - ✓ Trust documents - ✓ Power of attorney - ✓ Executor information - ✓ Recovery instructions The Firevault difference ## Not everything needs to live online. Keep the files you use every day in iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive or wherever works for you. Firevault is for the smaller category of information you may need occasionally, yet cannot afford to lose, expose or leave permanently reachable. Everyday and connected ### Keep convenience where it helps. Cloud storage is useful when people need to work, sync and share constantly. - • School forms and current documents - • Shared calendars and household lists - • Working files and active projects - • Photographs you are currently editing or sharing - • Everyday collaborative information Important and offline ### Give consequence a different state. Selected records can be available when required without remaining permanently reachable the rest of the time. - ✓ Identity documents - ✓ Wills and trusts - ✓ Property and insurance records - ✓ Medical and financial archives - ✓ Recovery information and family history **Other services organise important information online. Firevault gives information that does not need to stay online somewhere else to live.**Online when you need it. Offline when you do not. Protect it now. Find it later. ## Make sure the right person can get the right information. A family solution has to do more than lock files away. It needs clear ownership today, controlled sharing when somebody needs a document and a planned route for succession later. VERIFIED OWNER FAMILY MEMBER SOLICITOR OR ADVISER VAULT BUDDY The owner controls everyday access. Selected files can be shared without exposing the whole vault. Vault Buddy exists for succession, not routine shared access. No family master password ### Ownership, sharing and succession are different things. Firevault separates them so the household does not have to weaken everyday security just to make sure somebody can find what they need later. **You own the vault**Everyday access remains linked to the verified owner rather than a household login shared by several people. **Share a file when somebody needs it**Give a spouse, family member, solicitor or adviser controlled access to selected information without handing over the whole vault. **Choose your Vault Buddy**Create a succession route so the information you protected does not become inaccessible when your family needs it most. This is not only about the worst day ## Useful whenever life changes. Preparedness matters during ordinary transitions too. The value is knowing the right records are together, current and protected before they become urgent. Moving house ### Property paperwork without the hunt. Deeds, mortgage documents, valuations, insurance and identification in one protected place. **Home transition** Travelling ### Clean copies when travel goes wrong. Passports, insurance and important documents available when the original is lost or inaccessible. **Travel continuity** Insurance claim ### Prove what happened and what you owned. Policies, photographs, receipts, valuations and evidence together before you need to make the claim. **Recovery** Caring for a parent ### Information organised before responsibility changes. Care records, financial information, property documents and instructions available to the person who takes over. **Family care** Medical emergency ### Important information is not buried in accounts. Relevant records, policies and instructions can be located without reconstructing somebody else's digital life. **Health** Estate and succession ### The documents somebody else may eventually need. Will, trust, power of attorney, executor information and other records have a defined home. **Future planning** Choose the Firevault that fits ## How many of your personal records need protecting? The right choice depends on how much you need to protect and how often you need to access it. The security principle stays the same. LUV · Occasional-Use Vault ### For the essentials.

Physical protection underneath. You should not need to become a cybersecurity team. Firevault changes the state of the selected data itself. **01** ### Dedicated hardware Important files are held on physical storage allocated to the customer rather than pooled cloud capacity. **02** ### Physical disconnection When offline, there is no standing network path to the selected data. **03** ### Identity-controlled access Access is linked to the verified owner rather than a shared household credential. **04** ### Continuity by design Controlled sharing and Vault Buddy give the owner a route for the people who may need information later. Questions people ask ## Before you move anything offline. The goal is a clearer records plan, not simply buying storage. Does everyone in the family share one login? No. Firevault is designed around a verified owner rather than a shared household password. Selected files can be securely shared without exposing the whole vault. What should we protect first? Do we have to stop using cloud storage? Can I give my spouse or solicitor one document? What happens if something happens to me? Should we choose LUV or Vault? Get your family's important information in order ## Start with the things that would be hardest to replace, most damaging to expose or most important for somebody else to find. Offline Secure Storage from Firevault. Online when you need it. Offline when you do not. [Protect your family's data](#choose) [Talk to Firevault](/contact)
