One of the most important parts of PSILY is your trusted buddies, but what exactly are they and what do they do?
A trusted buddy is a counselor: someone you choose because you trust them. You can designate one to three. They receive an e-mail invitation and play a quiet but important role in the background.
Their job is simple: if PSILY can't reach you for a while, your trusted buddies can confirm that the time has come and activate your account. This way, you can be sure that your groceries actually arrive, even if you are no longer there to arrange it yourself.
Just as important is what a trusted buddy can't do. A buddy can never see the content of your messages. They remain completely private until they arrive at the correct recipient. So a buddy doesn't open the door to your words — he or she just helps them get started at the right time.
You manage your trusted buddies in your account under “Trusted buddies”. Do you already have someone as a contact? Then you can make him or her a trusted buddy with one click. Choose people you really trust — knowing that your legacy is in good hands gives you peace of mind.
