Our new partnership with Trustworthy

Throughout our lives, we accumulate an ever-growing collection of important documents: home titles, car titles, insurance cards, driver’s licenses, passports, vehicle registrations, birth certificates—the list goes on and on. According to the FTC, there are at least 16 different documents you should hold on to and store securely, and that doesn’t include important yearly documents like bank statements.  These documents can be a veritable goldmine for criminals looking to commit identity theft.

Not only do these documents contain personal information that can be used in fraud, but the documents themselves can be used in fraud schemes.  Consumers often rely on email inboxes or drop boxes to store these documents digitally.

However, these digital storage methods can be  breached, exposing you and your family to identity theft. Storing these documents securely and protecting them from bad actors is a key element of a digital protection strategy—if these documents and the information within them aren’t secure, then neither is your identity. However, you also need to keep these documents handy for everyday situations and to rebuild after a disaster. But how can you securely store your documents while ensuring they’re easy to access? 

Enter our new partnership with Trustworthy. Coming 2027, this new digital household assistant makes document storage and management easier than ever before. 

The challenges of document storage 

Managing important documents can be tough, especially as your family grows and you’re juggling parenting, your career, and organizing your family. With so many documents to look after, before you know it you and your family’s documents are spread across several folders in different boxes, with no way of knowing which documents are where.

 And worst of all, when you finally dig them out of storage, you may find they’re expired, which can significantly disrupt your plans.

Having easy access to up-to-date and current documents for everyday situations such as: 

• Providing a new doctor with insurance information 

• Verifying your identity when applying for a credit card  

• Renewing a vehicle’s registration  

• Sharing medical records during a medical emergency 

Storing, finding, and keeping documents up to date can be a challenge, but the real headache happens when disaster strikes. It’s a reality no one wants to consider, but if you lose your home to a fire, flood, or other natural disaster, you also lose all those documents. Without access to things like birth certificates, home titles, and more, it can make your recovery process even more stressful and difficult at a time when you need things to be as straightforward and simple as possible. 

The power of our digital household assistant  

Luckily, storing, accessing, and managing your documents is now easier than ever. With the digital household assistant powered by Trustworthy, you can upload your important documents to a secure, encrypted location—no more storing documents in old filing cabinets or piling them into a flimsy manilla folder. 

The digital household assistant allows you to securely store and easily access important documents such as: 

• Family records such as birth certificates, school records, and passports to simplify traveling and registering kids for school 

• Estate planning documents such as wills, trusts, and powers of attorney for easy, secure sharing with attorneys and family members 

• Documents for aging family members such as medical directives, medical records, and account details to help reduce stress about access to these documents and easy storage 

• Home and vehicle records such as titles, registrations, and insurance policies so you can make accessing documents for everyday situations a breeze 

Here’s what else your digital household assistant can do for you:  

• Keep your documents updated: With automatic reminders that alert you when a document has expired, it’s easier to keep your documents up to date and reduce the likelihood that something slips through the cracks 

• Streamline access for authorized people: Simply grant access to family members or professionals that need to see or copy your important documents, and you can even choose how long they have access to the document 

• Provide bank-level security: Leave the unlocked file cabinet in the past with security backed by encryption, tokenization, and required multi-factor authentication 

• AI-powered document analysis: Get critical insights with Trustworthy’s AI, which analyzes your documents to give you actionable information. For example, if you upload your car insurance documents over time, you can create a pricing overview to see how your insurance costs have changed over time. You can even analyze your taxes to see changes in your year-over-year returns etc. I think that's a really cool, valuable feature to consider including as well.
