A digital vault is not just a place to store files. It is a safe space for your life. Your memories, your important information, your online world, all kept together in one secure place, ready to support the people you love when they need it most.

At Crux Legacy we see a digital vault as an act of care. It is not about preparing for the worst. It is about being organised, thoughtful, and kind toward the people who may one day need clarity instead of confusion.

In today’s world, so much of who we are lives online. That is why having a digital vault is becoming an essential part of modern life.

What a Digital Vault really is

A digital vault is a secure, private space where you store and organise everything important to you in digital form. This includes documents, accounts, memories, and instructions that your loved ones may need access to in the future.

Unlike folders scattered across devices or accounts forgotten over time, a digital vault keeps everything in one place, protected and clearly organised.

With Crux Legacy, your digital vault remains fully private while you are alive. Nothing is visible to anyone else until the moment you choose or until the legacy is released.

Why a Digital Vault matters today

Life is increasingly digital. Important information is spread across emails, apps, cloud platforms, and online services. Without organisation, this can become overwhelming for the people you care about.

A digital vault helps you:

• Keep everything in one secure place
• Avoid stress and confusion for your loved ones
• Protect sensitive information
• Share clarity instead of unanswered questions
• Take care of your digital life with intention

This is not about control. It is about responsibility and love.

What counts as Digital Assets

Digital assets are any online accounts, platforms, or digital resources you own or manage. If you log into it, pay for it online, or use it digitally, it is likely a digital asset.

Common examples of digital assets:

• Email accounts like Gmail or Outlook
• Online banking or investment platforms
• Cryptocurrency wallets or exchanges
• Cloud storage such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or iCloud
• Social media profiles
• Subscriptions like Netflix, Amazon, or Spotify
• Business tools such as Shopify, Stripe, or domain hosting
• Memberships or online services

Recording these inside your digital vault ensures your nominees know what exists and how to handle things when the time comes.

What you can store inside your Crux Digital Vault

Crux Legacy allows you to store far more than just account names. Your digital vault becomes a complete reflection of your life and responsibilities.

Items you can store:

• Important documents
• Digital asset records
• Notes and instructions
• Photos and videos
• Personal messages
• Journal entries
• Time Capsule messages for future moments

Each item can be assigned to one or more nominees, so the right people receive the right information.

How to document Digital Assets in Crux Legacy

Crux Legacy makes documenting your digital life simple and human.

1. Use clear and simple naming

Clear naming helps your loved ones understand what each asset is without confusion.

Examples:

• “Gmail – Main Email Account”
• “HSBC Online Banking – Personal”
• “Coinbase Wallet – Crypto”
• “Dropbox – Family Photos Archive”

Clarity today prevents stress tomorrow.

2. Add helpful notes and context

You can add notes to explain:

• What the account is used for
• Why it matters
• Any important context your nominee should know
• Instructions, without sharing passwords

This guidance can be incredibly reassuring for someone navigating your digital world later on.

A Digital Vault that respects your privacy

One of the most important aspects of Crux Legacy’s digital vault is privacy.

Your nominees cannot see anything while you are alive. This includes documents, accounts, photos, videos, notes, or messages. Everything remains encrypted and invisible until the right moment.

This protects:

• Your privacy
• Your relationships
• Your freedom to update or reorganise
• Your peace of mind

You can make changes freely, without awkward conversations or explanations.

A Digital Vault is an act of love

Creating a digital vault is not about preparing for something negative. It is about making life easier for the people you love. It is about leaving behind clarity, guidance, and care instead of questions.

Your digital vault becomes a place where your story is kept safely, ready to be shared with intention.
