The agreement,
in plain language.

By creating, editing, sharing, or reading a LIFEKEY profile you agree to these terms. If you don't agree with them, please don't use the service.

LIFEKEY has no accounts, so there is no sign-up screen where you tick a box. Using the service is the agreement.

LIFEKEY turns information you type in into a read-only web page that a first responder, nurse, or bystander can open in seconds. That's the whole service.

Every profile comes with two links. The short public link opens the read-only page and is meant to be shared. The long private link is the only way to edit that profile.

Anyone holding the private link can change or delete the contents of your profile. Treat it like a password: store it in a password manager, and never post it publicly or print it on anything you carry.

Because there are no accounts, we cannot verify who you are and cannot email a lost private link back to you. If you lose it, create a new profile and share the new public link.

You are responsible for what goes into a profile and for keeping it current. Out-of-date allergy or medication information can be more dangerous than none at all, so review your profile whenever your care changes.

Only add information about someone else — a child, a parent, a person in your care — if you have the authority to do so and they, or their legal representative, are comfortable with it being readable by anyone holding the link.

Use LIFEKEY for genuine emergency information. Don't use it to store or distribute anything else.

We work to keep LIFEKEY online and fast, but we provide it as-is and without any uptime guarantee. Maintenance, outages, network problems, and a dead phone battery are all real possibilities.

For that reason, a LIFEKEY should complement rather than replace other emergency measures — a bracelet engraving, a card in your wallet, a contact saved in a phone.

You can clear a profile at any time from your private edit link by emptying the fields you no longer want visible.

If you need a profile removed entirely, write to us from the address you can be reached at and include the public link. We may not be able to confirm ownership, so removal requests are handled case by case.

To the fullest extent the law allows, LIFEKEY is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for any decision made — or not made — on the basis of a profile's contents.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

We may update these terms as the service changes. The effective date at the top of this page always reflects the current version, and continuing to use LIFEKEY after a change means you accept the updated terms.
