Security and Privacy at Codex Vitae
Your digital legacy contains the most personal data of your life. The photos, messages, documents, and memories inside your vault deserve the highest standard of protection available. Codex Vitae was built from the ground up with this responsibility at its core.
Zero-Knowledge Encryption
Codex Vitae operates on a zero-knowledge architecture. This means that your vault contents are encrypted in a way that makes them technically inaccessible to us. Even if we wanted to access them, we could not.
Your encryption keys are yours. Your data belongs to you. Codex Vitae is the infrastructure, not the owner.
User-Owned Data
We do not sell your data. We do not analyze your content for advertising. We do not share your information with third parties for commercial purposes. Your vault is your property. Period.
Secure Directive Execution
Posthumous directive execution is one of the most sensitive operations in digital legacy management. Codex Vitae uses a multi-step verification process to ensure that access is granted only when the correct conditions are met, and only to the people you designated.
- ◆Multi-factor authorization requirements
- ◆Legal executor verification workflow
- ◆Time-delayed execution controls
- ◆Audit logging for all access events
Legal Verification Framework
Codex Vitae integrates with legal verification processes to ensure that posthumous directives carry legitimate authority. Our framework is designed to align with estate planning requirements so that your instructions are honored with proper legal standing.
Privacy Filtering
No encryption system protects your family from encountering content that was never meant for them. That requires a different kind of protection.
Codex Vitae runs every vault through AI privacy filtering before any curated archive is delivered to family members. Intimate, explicit, and private content is identified and quarantined automatically, before any human at Codex Vitae or in the family reviews the content. This filtering is structural to the platform, not a configurable option.
The filter summary your family receives tells them that filtering occurred and how many items were removed by category. It never tells them what those items were.
Infrastructure and Compliance
- ◆End-to-end encryption in transit and at rest
- ◆Healthcare-appropriate data handling principles (Codex Vitae is not a HIPAA-covered entity; we apply equivalent privacy standards to all personal health-adjacent data in our care)
- ◆SOC 2 compliance: planned as part of the platform's formal compliance roadmap
- ◆Regular third-party security audits
- ◆Geographically redundant secure storage
- ◆Continuous monitoring and intrusion detection
Individualized Access Permissions
Every person you designate in your vault receives only the access you define for them. A family member may receive access to photos and personal messages. A legal executor may receive access to account credentials and directives. These permissions are granular, explicit, and entirely in your control.
