What happens if we shut down? What if we get hacked? Here's the truth.
This is the question every user should ask before trusting a service with their most important documents.
If we ever decide to shut down LegacyShield, we will give you at least 90 days' notice to export your data.
Download everything in one click. Your files, your contacts, your settings — all of it.
Encryption keys are derived from YOUR password — we never hold them. If our servers disappear, your files are encrypted blobs — but you can always re-derive the key.
Your data is yours. We will never hold it hostage or make it difficult to leave.
We have no venture capital investors pushing us to pivot or monetize your data. We're building for the long term.
Every company is a potential target. Here's what happens if someone breaches our servers.
Attackers would find meaningless encrypted data. Without your password, they can't decrypt anything.
There's no backdoor, no master key, no way for us (or anyone else) to decrypt your files without your password.
Military-grade encryption. The same standard used by governments and intelligence agencies worldwide.
We never see your password. It stays on your device and is used to derive your encryption key locally.
We've thought about this. Here's our commitment to European privacy.
We don't use US cloud providers with an EU region. We use European-owned servers in Germany and Finland.
Because we don't use US-owned infrastructure, American law enforcement cannot compel us to hand over your data.
If the EU ever weakened privacy protections, we would relocate to a jurisdiction that values privacy before compromising your security.
We publish a monthly warrant canary. If we're ever compelled to hand over data (or stay silent about it), you'll know.
We won't add features just to add features. LegacyShield does one thing exceptionally well: secure your most important documents.
We publish detailed explanations of our encryption, key derivation, and architecture. No security through obscurity.
This isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. We're building a service that will be here for decades, not years.
If we lose your trust, we lose everything. That's why transparency and honesty are non-negotiable.
