Protecting Your Information

The core of our service is to protect the privacy of our users and their data. This Privacy Policy explains the way SafeTech B.V. (“SafeTech”, “we”) handles your information with the SafeKey Mobile application (“Application”, “SafeKey Mobile” or “SafeKey Mobile App”). 

SafeKey Mobile is a SafeTech solution that enables you to securely store your Inheriti plan shares on a mobile device. Inheriti is a decentralized data protection solution for managing and transferring digital access data, also known as “Secret Data”, in a digital recovery or inheritance plan. Users, including owners, beneficiaries, and merge authorities of an Inheriti protection plan, may utilize either SafeKey Mobile or a SafeKey Pro hardware device to securely store their encrypted plan shares. 

We are strongly committed to protecting the confidential security and integrity of any information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. 

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any modifications will come into effect on the communicated date. In the event of updates, we will inform you via email about changes. The next time you login to your SafeKey Mobile App, you will be requested to confirm reading the updated Privacy Policy. The email associated with your SafeID login will be used for all communications.

Former versions of the Privacy Policy will be made available at the bottom of this page, including a registration of the history of changes.

Please read this Privacy Protocol carefully and in conjunction with SafeKey’s Mobile Terms of Use.

Security

SafeKey Mobile Data is highly secured by multiple comprehensive security measures to protect from unauthorized access, data loss, and other security risk: 

The Secret Data is encrypted using a military-grade and NSA-approved encryption standard, and split into shares using Inheriti’s proprietary SSDP technology, which prevents any single owner from decrypting the data, and requires a minimum threshold of shareholders to come together for the data to be decrypted. 

The merging of shares can only be initiated by the Merge Authority. Once all predetermined triggers set by the plan owner are validated, the actual merge can commence. The merger will only be completed if the set minimum number of shares are contributed to the merge. In an unexpected situation where a beneficiary cannot or will not participate, recovery shares can be utilized for enhanced security measures.

SafeKey Mobile uses an additional PIN code form claiming and releasing shares,

The shares to be stored on SafeKey Mobile gain an extra layer of security with additional encryption and the need to verify share ownership while the share is being claimed. Only beneficiaries with proper authentication can download the specific plan share.

SafeTech does not have access to your plan share or the Secret Data and we never store your Secret Data anywhere in the Service, databases or any other centralized instances. Learn more: <link to recent Red4Sec audit report>

Adjustments

SafeKey Mobile shares cannot be adjusted. If adjustments are required after the plan has been established, a new Inheriti plan must be created.

Erasure

Information stored on SafeKey Mobile can be deleted by removing the data via the settings of the app or by removing the app from your phone.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: IF YOU CHOOSE TO NOT KEEP A BACKUP AFTER CLAIMING, THE SHARES WILL NOT BE ACCESSABLE ANYMORE IF YOUR MOBILE DEVICE IS LOST OR DAMAGED. 

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: WHEN YOU DESTROY AN INHERITI PLAN, YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO MERGE SHARES AND UNLOCK ESTABLISHED INHERITI PLANS.

Data Sharing

SafeTech prioritizes the protection of customers’ data connected to SafeKey Mobile App. We only share this data with a select few third-party services, keeping the number of partners to a minimum. 

Please be aware that the third-parties may have residence in countries outside the European Union and/or are an international organization and might operate under different privacy regulation. Please check their privacy protocol for more information.

Data Retention

The data will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. 

As long as the SafeID account is not actively terminated, the SafeID data will be retained and kept accessible. In the event of user-initiated account termination, all deleted data will be securely deleted or anonymized within 30 (thirty) days to prevent unauthorized access and safeguard personal privacy.

We may retain and use your information to resolve disputes. After the dispute is resolved, any personal information that is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected will be deleted or anonymized. We will also ensure that any third-parties with whom we shared your data during the dispute resolution process will also delete or anonymize your personal data in a timely manner. Please note that certain data may be retained if necessary for legal or regulatory compliance, or to exercise or defend legal claims. In these cases, we will ensure that appropriate security measures are in place to protect your personal data.
