Terms of Service
Effective Date: March 15, 2026 · Last Updated: March 15, 2026
1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Keepacy platform, including the website at keepacy.com, the web application, APIs, SMS and email notifications, and all related services (collectively, the “Service”), operated by Keepacy (“we,” “us,” or “our”).
By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use Keepacy. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
3. Account Registration and Security
- You must provide a valid email address and create a password to register.
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is required for all accounts and may not be fully disabled.
- You must notify us immediately at support@keepacy.com if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
- You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
4. Description of the Service
Keepacy provides a secure digital vault and check-in system that allows you to:
- Upload and store important documents in an encrypted vault.
- Designate beneficiaries who may receive access to your documents.
- Configure a periodic check-in system (the “dead man's switch”) that monitors your activity and, upon prolonged inactivity, initiates a notification and escalation sequence that may ultimately grant your designated beneficiaries access to your shared documents.
Important: Keepacy is not a law firm, financial advisor, estate planner, or healthcare provider. The Service is a document storage and notification tool. It does not constitute legal, financial, medical, or estate planning advice. You should consult qualified professionals for guidance on estate planning, legal documents, and related matters.
5. SMS Messaging Terms
Keepacy offers SMS-based features as part of the Keepacy messaging program, including check-in confirmations, two-factor authentication codes, and escalation alerts.
- Opt-in: by providing your phone number and enabling SMS features in your account settings, you consent to receive automated text messages from Keepacy. SMS consent is not a condition of any purchase.
- Message frequency: message frequency varies based on your check-in schedule and account activity. Typically, you will receive 1 to 10 messages per month, depending on your configured check-in interval and escalation settings. You may receive additional messages for two-factor authentication codes when logging in.
- Msg & data rates may apply.
- STOP: to opt out of SMS messages at any time, reply STOP to any message from Keepacy. You will receive a confirmation message and no further SMS messages will be sent. You may also disable SMS features in your account settings.
- HELP: for help with SMS messaging, reply HELP to any message from Keepacy, or contact us at support@keepacy.com.
- Supported carriers include but are not limited to AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, and other major US carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
- We do not sell, rent, or share your phone number or SMS opt-in data with third parties for marketing purposes. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
6. User Content and Documents
- You retain full ownership of all content and documents you upload to Keepacy.
- You grant us a limited license to store, encrypt, and transmit your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
- You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy, legality, and appropriateness of content you upload.
- You must not upload content that is illegal, infringes third-party rights, or contains malware.
- We do not access, review, or share your encrypted documents except as required to provide the Service or as compelled by valid legal process.
7. Beneficiary Access and the Check-In System
- You control which documents are shared with which beneficiaries.
- The check-in system operates as you configure it. If you fail to respond to check-in prompts within your configured inactivity window, the system will automatically begin escalation procedures, which may ultimately result in your beneficiaries receiving access to your shared documents.
- You are responsible for keeping your check-in preferences, contact information, and beneficiary designations up to date.
- Keepacy is not responsible for the actions of your designated beneficiaries after they receive access to shared documents.
- Keepacy makes no guarantee that the check-in system will function without interruption. Service outages, delivery failures, and other technical issues may affect the timing of check-ins and notifications.
8. Subscriptions and Payment
- Keepacy offers free and paid subscription tiers. Free accounts are subject to storage and feature limits.
- Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually, as selected at the time of purchase.
- Payments are processed by Stripe. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.
- You may cancel your subscription at any time. Access to paid features continues until the end of the current billing period.

15. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email and update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
