# A private asset map for your family

> Family Asset Map — A private asset map for you and your family.

Show your family where to find your assets. E2E Encryption (end-to-end encryption) protects the data in your portfolio. We cannot read that data without your passphrase. Choose who can view your map.

## Your data stays private.

New portfolios use **E2E Encryption (end-to-end encryption)**. This means your browser encrypts your portfolio name and data before it sends them to us. We store the encrypted data.

A **passphrase** is a long password for your portfolio. We do not receive it. **We cannot read your data protected by E2E Encryption without it.**

Use an email code to sign in. Use your passphrase to unlock your portfolio. We can still see account emails and who has access.

## Help your family know where to look.

A portfolio is your map of assets, such as savings and investments. Add your banks, accounts, values, and notes. Use notes to show where you keep documents.

You enter values and exchange rates yourself. Family Asset Map does not connect to banks. It does not hold or transfer money. Do not add bank passwords.

## Start with three steps.

- **Create your map.** Sign in with an email code. Create a portfolio. Choose a long passphrase that you do not use elsewhere.
- **Choose who can view it.** Give access to a family member by email. They can view your whole portfolio, but cannot edit it.
- **Share the passphrase separately.** Use a safe method that you trust. Check that your family member can open the map.

## Help them when you cannot explain.

**For you and your partner.** Keep one clear view of savings and investments. One person updates the map. The other can view it.

**For illness or a death.** Help your family find the right institutions and documents. Set up access before they need it.

**For parents, adult children, or a trusted friend.** Choose who can view your map. Add notes that show where to look and whom to contact.

Access starts when you give it and the person has the passphrase. There is no automatic release after a death. A map does not give access to money or replace a will.

## Questions and answers

### Is sharing free?

Yes. During early access, creating your map, adding people, and viewing shared maps are free. No card is required. We plan an annual Family subscription and a separate, one-time purchase of 12-month Viewer Access. Paid plans are not available yet. See Pricing for the planned rules.

### Can you read my portfolio?

With E2E Encryption, we cannot read your portfolio name or data without your passphrase. We do not receive your passphrase. We can see account emails and who has access. In optional Standard mode, our server can read your data.

### What if I lose my passphrase?

We cannot recover your data protected by E2E Encryption without it. An email code lets you sign in, but cannot unlock the portfolio. Keep your passphrase in a safe place.

### Does my family get access only after I die?

No. Access starts when you give it and the person has the passphrase. Family Asset Map does not check for a death or give access later on its own.

### Can my partner edit our map?

Only the portfolio owner can edit it. Your partner can sign in with their own email and view the whole shared portfolio. Review changes together, then let the owner update the map.

### Can I share with a friend or show only some accounts?

You can share with a friend or another person you trust. Access covers the whole portfolio. You cannot share only selected accounts.

### Can someone open the map with just a link?

No. You must give them access first. They must sign in with the email address you chose. For E2E Encryption, they also need your passphrase. Share the passphrase separately.

### Can I use Family Asset Map offline?

The local edition works offline with a JSON file. You need the internet to sign in, save online, or open a shared portfolio. JSON exports are not encrypted.
