A few thousand documents rather than decades of video.

Vault 2TB](#plan-vault-2tb) [If you hold 03 ### Decades of media, still growing Households consolidating old computers, phone backups and scanned family history into one owned place. Vault 4TB ](#plan-vault-4tb) 02 Why it matters ## Why personal records are the easiest thing to lose Personal data is rarely lost because someone targeted you. It is lost because it was sitting inside a service that was targeted. ### Your records live in someone else's account Consumer cloud accounts are reached with a password and a recovery route. Anything that reaches your account reaches every file inside it, including the copies you thought were safe. The account is the attack surface, not the file. ### Identity documents are reusable for years A stolen passport scan, National Insurance number or utility bill can be used long after a breach. Unlike a card number, you cannot cancel and reissue your own history. Identity fraud persists long after the original incident. ### Family archives have no second copy Photographs, letters and video usually exist once. When a device fails or an account is closed, the loss is permanent and nothing can restore it. Irreplaceable material needs a copy that is not reachable. ### What changes once records are offline The same records, held somewhere a remote attacker has no route to. Wills and deeds in a cloud folder Held offline, retrieved only in a session you open Password reset is enough to reach everything Identity verified ownership, one vault per person Family archive exists on one laptop Dedicated hardware with a spare held separately Next of kin have no route in Vault Buddy succession planning included 03 The range ## Offline Secure Storage® configured for personal use LUV is the scheduled access product.
