For athletes, public figures and their advisers, a single leak is permanent, so the most sensitive files should not remain continuously reachable. [Protect your private data](#checklist) [See what belongs offline](#choose) Offline Secure Storage Adviser sharing Reputation protection Identity security ![Offline Secure Storage for private data.](/assets/executive-hero-CCWJPnX3.jpg) Offline by default What individuals protect ### The files behind a private life. Commercial**Contracts** Health**Medical records** Financial**Financial files** Legal**Legal matters** Identity**Identity documents** Personal**Personal material** Storage**Dedicated hardware** Access**Controlled by you** When closed**No standing network path** A simple privacy question ## How many people currently hold a copy of your most sensitive files? Agents, lawyers, accountants, clubs and family members all accumulate copies. Every copy is another route to exposure. **01** ### An adviser's inbox is breached. Sensitive contracts and medical files leak through somebody else's account rather than yours. **Third-party risk** **02** ### Personal material is published. Private photographs or correspondence surface after a cloud account is compromised. **Reputation** **03** ### Identity is targeted. Passports and personal documents held online enable impersonation and fraud. **Identity fraud** **04** ### A relationship ends badly. Files shared informally with a former adviser or associate remain in their hands. **Control** The Firevault principle ## The problem is not only exposure. It is that private material is stored where reach is easy. Medical records, contracts, images and private correspondence usually sit in consumer cloud accounts protected by a password and a phone number. If private material is physically disconnected, extortion requires physical access rather than a stolen credential. **Select → Secure → Disconnect → Access when required** ### A path that does not exist cannot be used No account recovery, no session token and no sync client reaches a vault that is offline. ### Account takeover is the common route Most personal exposures begin with credentials or SIM interception, not with breaking encryption. ### Sharing should be selective One file can be released to an adviser without opening everything else. ### Recorded access supports action later If material is misused, dated custody and retrieval records help advisers respond. The privacy checklist ## Take back control of the copies. Start with the material that would be most damaging to publish and hardest to withdraw once it is out. Your private inventory ### Six areas most public figures already hold. Use this as a first-pass checklist before deciding which Firevault product fits. **Commercial → Health → Financial → Legal → Identity → Personal** What you signed ### Commercial - ✓ Playing contracts - ✓ Endorsement agreements - ✓ Representation terms - ✓ Image rights - ✓ Confidentiality agreements Your health ### Medical - ✓ Injury records - ✓ Treatment history - ✓ Scans and reports - ✓ Clinical correspondence - ✓ Insurance evidence Your money ### Financial - ✓ Bank and tax records - ✓ Investment evidence - ✓ Property documents - ✓ Sponsorship payments - ✓ Adviser statements Your matters ### Legal - ✓ Legal advice - ✓ Settlements - ✓ Disputes - ✓ Family law documents - ✓ Regulatory matters Your identity ### Identity - ✓ Passports and visas - ✓ Driving licence - ✓ Certificates - ✓ Residency documents - ✓ Travel records Your life ### Personal - ✓ Private photographs - ✓ Family records - ✓ Personal correspondence - ✓ Medical wishes - ✓ Private archives The Firevault difference ## Not everything should be one password away. Keep everyday phones, messaging and shared work where they are convenient. Firevault is for the files where a single exposure is permanent. Everyday and connected ### Keep convenience where it helps. Connected services suit scheduling, everyday communication and current work. - • Everyday messaging - • Scheduling and travel plans - • Current working documents - • Social and media content - • Routine correspondence Important and offline ### Give consequence a different state. Selected files can be available when required without remaining permanently reachable. - ✓ Contracts and image rights - ✓ Medical records - ✓ Financial and tax evidence - ✓ Legal and settlement material - ✓ Private personal archives **Reputation management responds after exposure. Firevault reduces what can be exposed in the first place.**Online when you need it. Offline when you do not. Ownership, advisers and succession ## Advisers get what they need, not everything you hold. Careers involve many advisers over time. Ownership, controlled sharing and succession should not be the same thing. VERIFIED OWNER AGENT OR ADVISER LEGAL OR MEDICAL SUCCESSION ROUTE The owner controls everyday access. Selected files can be shared for a purpose without exposing the whole vault. No permanent adviser access ### Sharing should be temporary and specific. Firevault separates ownership from access so relationships can change without your files changing hands. **One vault per user**Access is linked to the verified owner rather than an agency account. **Share a file, not the vault**Release one contract or report to one adviser for one purpose. **Recorded access**Retrievals are logged so you can see how sensitive material has been used. This is not only about scandal ## Useful throughout a career. Transfers, sponsorships, medical events and retirement all depend on producing sensitive documents securely. Transfer or signing ### Share terms securely. Contracts released to the right party without leaving copies everywhere. **Commercial** Injury ### Control medical information. Records available to the clinician who needs them, not to the estate at large. **Health** Changing agent ### End access cleanly. Sharing was specific, so nothing lingers with a former adviser. **Control** Tax and residency ### Produce evidence on request. Financial and travel documentation retrieved without exposure. **Compliance** Legal matter ### Protect privileged material. Advice and settlement documents held apart from everyday accounts. **Legal** Retirement ### Preserve the archive. A career record retained privately and passed on deliberately. **Legacy** Evidence and guidance ## Guidance on personal data exposure points the same way. Regulators and national bodies treat account compromise as the main route to private material and recommend separation of the most sensitive files. [NCSC NCSC guidance for individuals and families covers account compromise and recommends keeping important data backed up separately.

[Why Offline Secure Storage](/why-oss) ### Vault On-demand access to a digital safe deposit box for personal archives, media libraries and larger private collections. [Explore Vault](/vault) ### LUV A low use vault for medical records, contracts and private essentials, reached on a nominated access day. [Explore LUV](/luv) ### Storage Scalable offline capacity from 20TB upwards, designed with the solutions team around your requirement. [Explore Storage](/storage) Why Firevault ## Discretion on top. Physical protection underneath. Privacy should not depend on how careful every adviser happens to be. **01** ### Physical storage Offline Secure Storage instances are held on dedicated physical hard drives, not in S3 cloud buckets, shared storage pools or multi-tenant infrastructure. Your selected data is assigned to real hardware, with dedicated RAID 1 drives providing resilience. **02** ### Physical ownership Each Offline Secure Storage instance is allocated to a specific customer, with dedicated physical capacity and clearly defined ownership. Your data is not pooled, commingled or held within a shared storage estate. **03** ### Physical control Access begins outside the normal network path. An authorised out-of-band command, such as SMS, controls the physical Layer 1 connection to your #OSS instance. When access is not required, that network path is physically disconnected. **04** ### Physical security Your #OSS hardware is housed in carefully selected, professionally managed data centres with layered physical security, resilient power and environmental controls. Access is tightly controlled using three-factor authentication, including biometric identification, supported by 24/7 monitoring, restricted access zones and a complete audit trail. Firevault Bunkers provide jurisdictional physical resilience across our international infrastructure. Questions advisers ask ## Before you move private files offline. The goal is fewer copies in fewer hands. Can my agent still get documents? Yes. Selected files can be shared with a named adviser for a specific purpose without giving access to the vault. How quickly can I reach a file? Is the vault in my name or my agency's? What happens if I change advisers? Does this cover family members? Fewer copies. Fewer routes in. ## Start with the files that would be most damaging to publish and impossible to withdraw. Offline Secure Storage from Firevault. Online when you need it. Offline when you do not.
