MyMessages™ - Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat kinds of messages can I create?The content of your messages is entirely up to you. A message could be a declaration of feelings for a person, instructions to your next of kin, communication of a secret, or admission of a past transgression. This service is available for you to use exactly how you please, although you should keep in mind the reactions and feelings of the recipients. The format of the message can be simple text, or you can attach files such as a document, photo, graphic, video or audio. The MyMessages™ service will guide you through the process of creating these messages. Your messages will only be emailed to their intended recipients after you have passed away and after your designated Keyholder® unlocks the information (without ever seeing the contents of your messages). Who can I send them to?You can send messages to anybody with a valid email address. We do not currently support the delivery of messages using postal mail or courier services. How will you ensure that they are not sent prematurely?You will designate trusted Keyholders® who will be assigned a secure ID and password. At the appropriate time the Keyholder® will request the release of your messages. As soon as this request is received, we will automatically send a notification to your email address and you will be given an opportunity to block the release of these messages. If, after a period of time determined by you, we have received no order to block the distribution, then the messages will be sent. It is important that you choose Keyholders® whom you trust. Although safeguards are in place to prevent the premature distribution of your messages, you should not expect any of your Keyholders® to request the release of your messages before the appropriate time. What if a hacker gets into your system?All of your information stored at PartingWishes.com is safe and secure. Your information is so highly encrypted that nobody has access to this information other than yourself and your trusted Keyholders® using their randomly generated personal key. Even the owners and administrators of PartingWishes.com are not able to view your messages due to the software design and encryption methods used. All data passing from your computer to PartingWishes.com is authenticated and encrypted using 128-bit "SSL encryption". This is the most advanced level of encryption available today, and it means that any information sent from your computer is scrambled in a way which makes it completely unintelligible if intercepted. When you are on a secure section within the PartingWishes.com site, a padlock will appear at the bottom of your web browser's screen. This is your assurance that the encryption is in place and that you are communicating across a secure link. Furthermore, PartingWishes.com uses an industry standard high security streaming-encryption algorithm known as "RSA" to encrypt all of your information before it is stored online. To give you a feeling for the level of security provided by this encryption, it has been estimated that with the most efficient algorithms known to date, it would take a computer operating at 1 million instructions per second over 300 quintillion years (that's 3 with 20 zeros behind it!) to break the encryption. That's several trillion times longer than the age of the Earth. Can my information get destroyed or lost?All of our data is securely stored in a highly encrypted format on database servers in the USA. To protect against catastrophic data loss, daily backups are performed on each of our servers to locations in Canada and the U.S. Hence, if any one of our servers experienced technical difficulties, the data would not be at risk. Furthermore, physical protection of our primary systems includes:
As you can see, we take the security and privacy of all of our member information very seriously. How much does this service cost?The MyMessages™ service allows you to create text messages, and to store them securely at PartingWishes.com until it is time for them to be delivered to their recipients. Before then, you can add, modify or delete messages at any time. You can also designate your own personal "Keyholders®", who with their unique ID can release your private messages for delivery at the appropriate time. These services are all available with the Bronze membership package, which is currently completely FREE for 1 year. Should you need extra space for storing your messages, additional space can be purchased for as little as $2 per 100 Kilobytes. See our Prices page for more details. What countries, states and provinces do you support?All of our services here at PartingWishes.com are completely international. They can be used by anyone in any country in the world. Services such as MyFuneral™, MyMessages™, MyLife™ and MyMemorials™ do not create legal documents and make no assumptions about your country of residence. In the US and Canada, we have worked extensively to ensure that the legal documents created by the MyWill™ and MyPowerOfAttorney™ services are up to date with the laws in all of the states in the United States and the provinces in Canada, including: Alabama, Alaska, Alberta, Arizona, Arkansas, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Manitoba, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ohio, Oklahoma, Ontario, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Rhode Island, Saskatchewan, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Yukon Territory. The MyLivingWill™ service is available for all States in the United States except Louisiana, and for all Provinces in Canada except Quebec. Nevertheless, if you have any doubts about the legal standing of any documents in your jurisdiction, feel free to seek legal counsel in your area to have your documents reviewed. How can I get more information?There is a considerable amount of information included in the on-line help of the MyMessages™ service. This will answer most of the common questions regarding the steps included in creating your own messages.
