What is RVault?

safe image

RVault is an Online Drive designed to protect your legacy and seamlessly pass it on to your successors.

At its simplest, it is a place for you to organize your important documents including wills, insurance papers, property documents, Articles of association, partnership deeds, education certificates, any document that is important to you.

Own, Operate, Grow
- Jointly

Accounts are owned by the group. By a process of voting, users decide permissions for add/delete user, delete document, delete account. By design everybody is involved in decisions.

Radical Transparency

All activities, Registering a group, inviting user, steps etc. happen in clear-view of everybody. A read-only log of each-and-every event is maintained in the account and is accessible to everyone at any time. Thereby eliminating need to trust another. The process ensures compliance.

Nominees Seamlessly

By adding a nominee, transfer of the account happens smoothly. You can set up transfer of your account to your nominee either on a certain date e.g., 20th June 2035 or after number of days of inactivity e.g., 600 days of login inactivity.

Questions?

01
I still don't get it!
Ok, think of it as a storage room with a door with multiple unique locks. Each person has his unique key which will let him in. As long as he has his key no one can prevent his entry. Further, in RVault, no single user can remove contents.
02
Who is RVault for?
Simply, any group with common interests. Families, Joint-Families, Trusts, Partnership, Companies.
03
Why should I not use DigiLocker, after all it is developed by Govt. of India?
DigiLocker is great. However, its purpose is entirely different. While you can store documents, it is meant to access GOI documents and store ones' personal documents. It's a personal storage space. RVault is more than a personal storage space. It is for a group of people. It helps the users to control access of contents the when and how they decide.
04
Why should I look at Rvault when I can always use Google Drive, Dropbox etc.?
Google Drive, Dropbox and others are storage services. By design they put the control and ownership in the hands of one person.And that is the Danger. Access to documents can be terminated at any time by this one person. Rvault is much more than a storage space. By its very nature it ensures all users are in control of the contents. Once the vault the document cannot be deleted. Moreover, when the time comes a user can pass on control of his account to his nominee, thus ensuring entitlements reach the intended recipients smoothly.
05
What's the big deal? I can always make photocopies and keep them in a safe place.
Of course you can do that. Each can hold a copy of any of these documents. But, every time someone wants to add a document, copies need to be sent to everyone. This is obviously a hassle. Moreover, physical copies can always be misplaced or destroyed.
06
Afterall, these are digital copies, so can you explain why I should get on board?
1.It offers peace of mind. Everyone will know, what their entitlements are and any person with mala-fide intent cannot cause havoc on other's lives.
2.In case any original documents are mis-placed damaged etc. you will have something in hand to chase and get duplicates from concerned authorities.
3.Think of this as a service spanning multiple generations or Trusts. All documents remain in perpetuity and ownership is passed on seamlessly in a transparent manner.
4.Transparency discourages people from acting inappropriately.
07
What type of documents can I store?
At this initial stage we recommend you store public documents like Sale deeds, partnership documents, Insurance papers, Investment details, Bank accounts, deposits etc. In Word, PDF, EXCEL files Do NOT store very private and sensitive information like passwords, codes etc. We will let you know when its safe to do so. You can store WORD, PDF and EXCEL documents. The service will not allow any other file extensions for the sake of security. At this point you cannot view documents from within RVault, you must download the document on your system and use appropriate software to view files. RVault is simply a digital storage room. So we encourage you to name your files appropriately.
08
Any thing else I should know?
Every activity in an account, from the first step of opening an account to the most recent activity will be maintained in timestamped log, which can be viewed by any of the members.
