Data Security and Privacy

Understanding Data Security and Privacy in Legacy Secure

At Legacy Secure, the security and privacy of your data are our top priorities. We employ industry-leading practices to ensure your information remains safe and confidential.

Data Encryption:

  • In Transit:
    • All data transmitted between your device and Legacy Secure servers is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. This prevents unauthorized access during data transfer.
  • At Rest:
    • Documents are stored in encrypted Amazon S3 buckets.
    • Your data is stored in a MySQL database, which is also completely encrypted. The only readable data in the database is your email address.

Access Control:

  • Primary Account Holder:
    • As the primary account holder, you have full control over your account and its data.
  • Inviting Users:
    • Access is managed through the "Access" menu in the left-hand side of the app.
    • You can add users with varying levels of permissions:
      • View Only: Allows the user to view all data without making any changes.
      • Upload Only: Permits uploading documents without accessing existing data.
      • View and Upload: Grants the ability to both view existing data and upload new documents.
      • Full Access: Provides comprehensive permissions, including editing and managing data.
      • No Access: For users you want associated with your account who might gain access upon your passing.
  • Managing Access:
    • You can amend or revoke user access at any time through the "Access" menu.
    • Legacy Secure also allows you to specify different access levels upon passing, ensuring your heirs or trusted advisors have appropriate access when needed.

Data Deletion and Retention:

  • Account Deletion:
    • If you choose to delete your account via the settings, all your data will be permanently removed immediately.
  • Pending State After Cancellation:
    • After canceling your subscription, your account remains in a pending state for 60 days, during which your data is preserved but inaccessible. Post this period, data is irreversibly deleted.
