No we don't. You are in complete control of the information you save. Entering information can be as easy or complex as you like; however, we find that the typical user can dramatically increase their personal organization and effectively prepare for the unexpected in about two hours.
Whether you use the Desktop or Web Version of InformationSAFE, every piece of data you enter is encrypted to your chosen location the moment you hit save. Your data is encrypted using the same standards approved by the National Security Agency for top secret documents. If you are using the web version or backing up over the web, we use SSL encryption for transmission, the most secure process available.
Once you logout, the only way anyone can get to your files is if they get access to your password. We do not keep a copy of your password, so if you lose it we will have to re-verify your identity before we allow you to reset your password. We have also put in place a propriety point and click, second layer password system to tackle the remote possibility that someone is copying your keystrokes (and password in the process) through software put or downloaded onto your computer without your knowledge.
How you choose and secure your password is a critical part of InformationSAFE's security process. Always select strong passwords (alpha numeric, with upper case and lower case letters of at least 10 characters) and then be very careful about how you secure access to your chosen password.
The chart in the Learn More section of the Desktop and Web Version details the differences between the Desktop and Web Version. However, the short answer is choose the desktop version if you anticipate needing to access your information from one computer and/or you want complete control over where and how your information is stored. Choose the web version if you want secure access to your information from any computer anywhere in the world and want your information saved in secure remote servers. (see comparison chart)
You sure can and we've made it super easy and secure to do so. Simply click on the email button and you'll be able to select any individual record, entire category of records or all saved records. After selecting the record(s) you want to send you will continue on to an interface that will let you create an email and enter a message to the recipient. The final and most important step in the process is to select up to three security questions that the recipient of your email will have to answer correctly to open the secure link taking them to your selected records. (As a final security precaution, the secure link your email recipient receives expires after thirty days)
The secure link to your email documents opens up your records in a PDF format that can then be saved by the recipient. (Once saved by the recipient, the security of your document depends on the actions of the recipient, so be sure to only send records to someone you trust will properly safeguard your information).
You sure can. Just like when emailing, simply click on the print button and an email you'll be able to select any individual record, an entire category of records or even all saved records. Once you have selected the record(s) you want to print, you continue to a PDF preview. If you're happy with the preview, hit print and you're all done!
Of course you can. We've made InformationSAFE extremely flexible. Easily track information for just yourself or an entire family. Within every record you have the ability to save multiple tabs. So when you want to track more than one person, simply save their information on another tab. Enter information on up to seven tabs for every record.
If you choose the Desktop Version, you can run InformationSAFE software on either a Windows or Macintosh computer.
