If something happens to you, Vaultneur automatically gives your chosen heir access to your vault — without ever exposing your data to us. One nominated person, one physical card, and a key we mathematically cannot turn.
Legacy Vault Release is entirely your choice — it's off by default and you activate it in Settings when and if you're ready. Setup takes a couple of minutes and happens entirely inside the app on your device.
You choose the single person who should inherit your vault — a partner, a child, an executor. You add their name and the email where the release link will eventually be sent. This is your decision, and you can change it any time.
Pick how often Vaultneur should confirm you're still here: every 30, 60 or 90 days. Shorter means faster release; longer means fewer reminders.
Your device generates a one-time claim code and prints it onto a Legacy Card — a PDF you save and hand to your heir. This card is the only thing that can unlock the vault later.
As long as you keep confirming you're OK, nothing happens. The release only begins after you've gone silent through a full warning sequence.
You don't confirm. The grace window opens — but nothing is released yet.
We email you again, clearly flagged. One tap still cancels everything.
Escalating reminders tell you release is approaching unless you check in.
Only now does your heir receive a release email — a link, and nothing more.
This is the part that matters. The whole mechanism is built so that even a full breach of our servers reveals nothing — because the only thing that can decrypt your vault is a card we never see.
When you turn on Legacy Vault Release, your phone creates the claim code with platform-grade randomness. It is printed onto the Legacy Card and never transmitted.
Vaultneur stores a one-way hash of the code — enough to verify the right card at claim time, useless for reconstructing the code itself.
The encrypted vault key can only be unwrapped by the real claim code. A full server breach yields ciphertext and a hash — nothing that decrypts the vault.
Typed or scanned from the Legacy Card you left them. The code stays on their device.
Our servers confirm the hash matches — they still never receive the code in usable form.
The code unseals the encrypted vault key locally — the one step that can't happen anywhere but on a device holding the card.
Documents and records are decrypted with the heir's own key. Vaultneur is never in the loop.
No accounts to untangle, no support tickets, no codes hidden in an email that could be intercepted. Just the card you left them, and the app.
It contains no code and no key — just a link to open the Vaultneur app. There is nothing sensitive in the message itself to leak or steal.
Using the card you left them, they enter the one-time claim code. The card is the physical proof that they're the heir you chose.
The vault is decrypted locally with their own key. At no point does Vaultneur hold anything that could unlock it — not before, not during, not after.
The honest version of Legacy Vault Release. Everything on the right is impossible by construction, not by policy.
hash of the claim code — for verification onlyInheritance shouldn't mean handing your secrets to a company and hoping. We built Legacy Vault Release so the only key that opens your vault is the one you put in your heir's hands.
Turn it on in Settings, save your Legacy Card, and the people who matter will never be locked out of what you leave behind. Questions? Email info@vaultneur.com.
