Your Digital Legacy is your personal identity that lives on a computer, a phone, or the internet.

We spend so many of hours every day browsing the internet, sending emails and messages, shopping, scrolling social media, and sending photos up to the cloud. So much of our identities are stored in the mysterious digital space.
We need to realize how important digital assets are!

Things to think about...
Consider the importance of your digital legacy and make a few preparations now that will make life easier for you and your loved ones in the future.
01
Make a list of all your digital accounts and passwords. Store them somewhere safe (in a password protected app or in a physical safe in your home.) Check your browsing history to get you started...this process will be ongoing, adding to your list every time you login to a different site.
02
Decide how you would like each account handled should something happen to you. (close accounts, memorialize accounts, consolidate information, etc)
03
Choose a Digital Executor. Share your master password with someone you trust. This person will be responsible for looking after your accounts and carrying out your wishes when you are no longer able.
Digital Photos
Access to your digital photos is a big and VERY important part of your digital legacy.
Set yourself and your family up now so your precious memories are not lost, but enjoyed for generations to come!
