Why it’s important to plan your digital legacy left online
In the digital age, our lives are increasingly intertwined with technology, and this includes our online presence. As we created branded identities online our accounts and digital assets become increasingly important to deal with when we are no longer here. It's important to creating a digital plan for your online accounts after your passing, and at Dexit, we can help you identify those accounts.
Why is this important to have a plan?
Preserving Memories and Personal History:
Our social media accounts' online presence is a repository of memories, experiences, and personal history. The many photo-sharing platforms, and personal blogs often serve as digital diaries. You may have completely forgotten that you had pictures at Costco, Shutterfly, and Walgreens all at the same time! Creating a digital plan ensures that these memories are preserved securely for future generations.
2. Protecting Digital Assets:
In the last ten years the definition of a "digital asset" has taken on new meanings. In the most broad definition, digital assets can be considered as personal memories and content, anything you hold of value online. Today digital assets include values held in Web 3.0, assets such as cryptocurrency, blockchain data, and digital art ( NFT's). These assets may be lost or go unclaimed. without a digital plan that provides instructions on how to access and transfer such assets, ensuring they are appropriately managed and inherited by the intended recipients.
3. Simplifying Administrative Processes:
Dealing with the aftermath of a loved one's passing is emotionally challenging, and navigating the complexities of managing online accounts can add an additional layer of stress. Dexit can help you create a well-thought-out digital plan to simplify the administrative process for your executor. Clear instructions on how to close or memorialize accounts can save them from unnecessary difficulties during an already difficult time.
4. Ensuring Digital Privacy:
Online privacy is always growing concern, especially today with the rapid rise of AI, deep fakes and hacking. A outlined digital plan will allow you to set preferences for data privacy, specifying whether certain information should be archived, deleted, or shared with specific individuals.
You will be leaving a digital legacy behind whether or not you have a plan. By analyzing the content you want to leave behind is the best way to ensure your legacy as you would want to be remembered. This will include closing, deleting and memorializing certain accounts. It may also mean downloading data, to pass onto future generations.
