Find answers to common questions about Confidence Vault

How Escalation Works

Confidence Vault quietly monitors your daily check-ins. Here's what happens if you miss one:

📧
1. Reminder Sent
At your scheduled check-in time, we send you a friendly reminder via email (and SMS if enabled). The reminder includes a one-tap "I'm OK" link.
2. Grace Period
You have a configurable grace period to check in. This gives you time to respond without causing unnecessary alerts.
🔔
3. Trusted Contacts Notified
If you don't check in within the grace period, your trusted contacts are notified via their preferred channels (email/SMS). Each contact receives a unique portal link.
🔒
4. Emergency Info Accessible
Your trusted contacts can access your emergency vault using their personal PIN. They'll only see the sections you've allowed them to view in Permissions.
5. All Clear
When you check in again, your trusted contacts automatically receive an "all clear" notification and the vault becomes locked again.

Getting Started

How do daily check-ins work?

Each day at your configured time, you’ll receive a reminder to check in. Click the “I’m OK” button in the email or visit your dashboard. If you don’t check in within your grace period, your trusted contacts will be notified.

What happens if I miss a check-in?

If you don’t check in, your trusted contact(s) are automatically notified with clear instructions on what to do next.

Using the App

What is Quick Check-In?

Use Quick Check-In when you’re heading out — it sets a timer and alerts your trusted contact if you don’t check back in.

Can I pause check-ins?

Yes. You can pause check-ins anytime from your settings. You can pause indefinitely or set a specific end date. Your trusted contacts won’t be notified during paused periods.

Can I change my check-in time?

Yes. You can change your check-in time from Check-In Settings. Choose any time that works for your schedule.

Do I need to wear a device or keep the app open?

No. Confidence Vault works with simple reminders — no wearables or complicated setup required.

What if my schedule changes or I’m traveling?

You can adjust your check-in anytime. It’s designed to fit real life, not a rigid schedule.

What should I store in my emergency vault?

Your vault can include medications, medical conditions, doctor information, pet care instructions, home access info, insurance details, and personal notes. Include anything your trusted contact might need if they can’t reach you.

Setup & Contacts

How do I add a trusted contact?

Go to Trusted Contacts in the sidebar. Enter their name, email, and create a PIN they’ll use to access your vault. They’ll receive an onboarding email with instructions.

Account & Security

How secure is my data?

All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your vault is only accessible to your trusted contacts when an escalation is active, and they need the correct PIN. We never share your data with third parties.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Go to Account and click “Manage Billing.” You can cancel your subscription there. You’ll retain access until the end of your billing period.
