How It Works | DGLegacy - Your Secure Document and Password Manager with Digital Inheritance

How will you detect whether anything has happened to me?

The custom-engineered Heartbeat protocol of DGLegacy verifies that you are OK and detects whether anything unforeseen has happened to you through the following multi-step process.

Heartbeat protocol steps:

Recurring confirmation email

You receive a regular email with a link to confirm everything is OK. You can configure the Heartbeat period and the interval of the email confirmations. Also, every log-in to DGLegacy automatically resets the Heartbeat period.

Reminder emails

If you don’t confirm your OK status, there is a series of reminder emails, sent at configurable intervals, to both your primary and secondary email address.

Phone call confirmation

If you don’t confirm your OK status in response to any of the reminder emails, a representative from DGLegacy will also try to connect with you via phone.

The goal is to avoid triggering the Heartbeat protocol unless an unforeseen event has really happened to you.
