Since your service is centralized, what is the sequence of events that leads to my digital data being disclosed without my consent/death? For example, if I am a beneficiary of Jane Doe, and I hack Cipherwill, can I get the keys I need to steal Jane Doe’s data while she is alive?

Cipherwill’s encryption is designed so that even if someone hacks the platform, they can’t access anyone’s data. The encryption keys are split between the user and their beneficiaries, and no one — including us — can access the data without the owner’s consent or passing. So, even if you're a beneficiary, you can’t get Jane Doe’s data while she’s alive.
