QUESTIONS

What is SealedLight, and when does it open?

SealedLight is a planned private digital legacy vault for messages, documents and handover instructions. Early access starts in the EU in January 2027. People anywhere can join the waitlist today. Nothing is available yet.

PLANS AND FREE TRIAL

What does the free trial include?

1 month free with full Plus features. No card needed to start.

How much will the plans cost?

Planned until launch: Plus at €4.99/month or €49/year; Legacy at €9.99/month or €99/year, with crypto handover, unlimited nominees and extended storage.

What happens after the free trial?

You choose a plan. If you don't, your vault stays safely stored and your release instructions keep working; you just can't add new items until you subscribe.

Will I be charged automatically?

We remind you 7 days before your trial ends. You're only charged if you choose a plan.

FOUNDING 100

What do founding members get?

SealedLight Plus free for 12 months, a Founding member badge and first access. No card needed.

How do I know if I got a spot?

Your confirmation email shows your founding number.

What happens after 12 months?

You choose a plan. If you don't, your vault stays safely stored and your release instructions keep working; you just can't add new items until you subscribe. You are only charged if you choose a paid plan.

EVERYDAY LIFE

Can I use SealedLight outside the EU?

SealedLight is built in Europe and early access starts in the EU in January 2027. People anywhere can join the waitlist today, and we'll invite you as we open to more countries. Wherever you live, your vault is protected by end-to-end encryption.

What if I am in hospital or cannot reach my phone?

The grace period (30, 60 or 90 days, your choice) and an optional backup contact exist for this. Logging in or checking in at any stage cancels the process.

What if I travel for a long time?

You can pick a grace period that suits you. A backup contact can also vouch for you.

What if I lose my phone?

You can sign in again on a new device with your recovery key. Without it, we may be unable to restore access.

How often do I check in?

Weekly, monthly (the default) or quarterly, including during the full-Plus free trial.

NOMINEES AND VERIFICATION

How are nominees verified?

Every nominee accepts from their own email and creates their own private key on their own device. For extra certainty, you can ask for an ID check: they upload an ID and take a live selfie, and our team reviews it.

What if a nominee refuses or cannot be verified?

They do not receive anything. Their items are not released to anyone else unless you assigned them to another nominee.

Who decides that a release should proceed?

Evidence such as a reviewed death certificate and/or confirmation from multiple nominees, following rules you set.

SECURITY

What if the encryption is hacked?

No system is unbreakable. The design limits what any single breach exposes, and independent audits and penetration tests aim to reduce the risk further.

Can SealedLight read my vault?

No. Your vault will be encrypted on your device and we never hold the keys to read it. We will publish an independent security audit before launch.

What is the blockchain fingerprint?

An optional record that a file existed unchanged at a point in time. It never contains your content.

LEGAL AND DATA

Is SealedLight a legal will?

No. Your will handles your assets and legal inheritance. SealedLight is for everything else: your words, memories and the details your family will need, delivered to the people you choose. We recommend having both.

Can someone who isn't my legal heir receive my items?

Yes. You'll be able to choose any person you trust, as long as they accept the role from their own email, and decide item by item who receives what. You can request an optional ID check with a live selfie for each person, reviewed by our team. That's different from inheritance law, which passes assets to your legal heirs. Financial assets still go through your will and executor.

Is my crypto safe?

SealedLight is non-custodial. It never holds your crypto. You store instructions only.

What happens if SealedLight shuts down?

You can export your data, and there is a plan for handling any pending release.

Can I export or delete my data?

Yes. You can ask us at any time at hello@sealedlight.com, and at launch you’ll be able to export or delete everything from your account.
