Terms of service

The short version: be reasonable, and we will be too.

What LifeBeacon does

LifeBeacon is a secure digital vault for storing life's important details: bank accounts, property, insurance, contacts, and guidance notes. It helps the people you trust access them when it matters.

It helps you answer questions like:

  • If something happened to me, would my family know where to start?
  • Are all our important documents in one place?
  • Do the right people have the right access?
  • Is there a plan for digital accounts and subscriptions?

This is not legal advice

LifeBeacon is an organisational tool, not a substitute for a will, trust, or legal counsel. We help you gather and store information. For estate planning, probate, or any legal matters, please consult a qualified professional.

Your data belongs to you

Everything you enter stays yours. We don't sell it, mine it, or share it with anyone. Your vault data is encrypted and only accessible by you (and any trustees you explicitly nominate).

The free tier

You can store unlimited vault items and use end-to-end encryption at no cost. The free tier includes 1 trustee and a 1-week proof-of-life check-in trial (fixed at every 3 days). File attachments are not included on the free tier.

Paid subscriptions

Premium adds up to 5 trustees, unlimited proof-of-life check-ins with custom frequency, and file attachments. You can cancel anytime. If you cancel, you keep access until your billing period ends, then revert to the free tier.

Play fair

Don't abuse the service or use LifeBeacon for anything illegal. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these basics.

Your recovery phrase

If you enable vault encryption, you are responsible for keeping your recovery phrase safe. We cannot recover or reset it. If you lose your recovery phrase, your encrypted vault data is permanently inaccessible.

Liability

We do our best to keep the service running and your data safe, but we can't guarantee perfection or 100% uptime. LifeBeacon is provided “as is”. We are not liable for decisions made based on information stored in your vault.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms occasionally. If anything significant changes, we'll notify you by email.
