"Inheritance and transmission of digital heritage" interview with Camille Guil on France Bleu Azur

Transcript of the interview with Camille Guil, journalist at the Tribune Côte d'Azur who was a guest on the "La nouvelle eco" radio program on France Bleu Azuron November 25 on the theme ofheritage and digital transmission.

  She answered a few questions posed by Quentin, her counterpart from France Bleu Azur. We've transcribed it for you. According to the La Tribune journalist, the average person has around a hundred online accounts. Between online banking, accounts such as Spotify, Netflix and everything to do with health, insurance, social security and social networks, the list climbs pretty quickly.  

How does this relate to digital transmission?

Startup Legapass offers a solution for securing the transmission of digital heritageThis includes all your sensitive data (passwords, IDs, access codes, etc.). Whether you want your friends and family to be able to access your online accounts, or your videos, music or photos stored on your computer or cell phone.  

How does it work?

"A person during his or her lifetime will create a space on Legapass to store all his or her data: content, passwords etc..."

The data is encrypted upon registration and sent to a temporary server to be stored in a real offline safe in order to avoid any hacking attempt. At the death of the person, his heirs will only have to recover the data via the bailiff who holds the key, able to decrypt them.  

How much does it cost?

The cost of the offer was one of the questions asked of the Côte d'Azur newspaper's journalist. Camille Guil replied that it was possible to register free of charge, but that there would be some transfer costs for heirs In other words, a fixed rate of €460, plus €10 per year of retention, for a total maximum of €600. She also mentioned the 2 premium formulas: 1 annual subscription for 49.99€ and a lifetime subscription for 299€, with the advantage of not generating no transmission costs to be paid by the heirsThis is because everything is taken care of by the account holder during their lifetime.  

Regarding Legapass, when was it launched?

In 2021, quite recently. Answered the journalist.

"It won the second prize for the young company of the UPE 06 at last year's Entreprenariales 2021 show with a special mention from the jury."

She also benefited from a subsidy of the French Tech by BPI France of €30,000. The platform was launched in April, and with few competitors in the sector, the company is expanding rapidly.  

What's next for Legapass?

"A fund raising which should be arriving soon, which will allow it to accelerate and recruit even more people. She recently joined the 13^ème promotion of the Allianz France gas pedal. Later on, the start-up led by Jean-Charles Chemin should attack the European market.

  In the end, the show ended with the consensus that, yes, it is possible to bequeath one's various internet accounts, whether they be bank accounts, social networking accounts or even the simple fact of regaining even control of them so as to be able to close them.
