How ZeroLatch researches and reviews its guides
Our library supports real planning decisions. It should explain boundaries, cite primary sources where claims can change, and never turn a dramatic headline into a promise the product or law cannot keep.
Who publishes the library
Guides are published by ZeroLatch, which sells the service described on this site. They are not independent product reviews. Product-specific statements are reviewed against the interface, source code and available verification evidence. We do not claim professional legal, tax, medical, investment, or emergency-response expertise.
How a guide is prepared
Drafting may use research and software assistance. Before publication, claims are reviewed for relevance, internal consistency, unsupported guarantees, and conflicts with the current product. Automated checks flag risky legal, security, recovery, and delivery language; they support editorial review rather than replace it.
Sources and changing information
For laws, standards, platform procedures, security incidents, and technical specifications, we prefer legislation, regulators, standards bodies, vendor documentation, and original research. Readers should verify time-sensitive details with the responsible provider or a qualified adviser before acting.
Product and legal boundaries
ZeroLatch delivers selected information after a missed check-in and safety period. It does not prove death, create legal authority, transfer ownership, provide urgent monitoring, guarantee email delivery, or replace an independent backup. Security claims distinguish Simple assisted recovery from Private self-custody.
September 2026 corrections
We removed unsupported survey and loss statistics, replaced alarmist headlines, and corrected the description of QuadrigaCX: the regulator attributed its collapse to fraud, not simply inaccessible keys after its founder died. We also corrected claims that personal narrative passwords have a calculable strength or that encryption makes a provider breach harmless.
This review checks clarity, consistency and risky claims across the library. It is not an independent legal or security audit, and it does not certify every external fact or future provider policy. Changed articles carry their own update date. Our transparency notice records current product limits.
Updates and corrections
A page receives an updated date only when its substance changes. If a guide contains an error or unclear claim, email support@zerolatch.com with the page URL and supporting evidence. Material corrections are made in the article source and included in the next site release.
