07 / For you
Let someone help.Keep control.
Give a spouse, lawyer, accountant, or another person you trust a view of your mailbox. You choose whether they can only read or can also organise items. They cannot sign, consent, decline, or submit anything as you.

Who can see your Keepable
Three people, right now

Invite
By name, not by handing over your password
The thing people actually do today is share a password, or a phone. Both give away everything for good. An invitation names one person who has their own Keepable, proved their own identity, and gets in as themselves.
-
Choose
Two levels, and you pick per person
Read only, for the accountant who needs the statements. Read and tidy, for the person who keeps your inbox in order while you are travelling. Neither of them is allowed to answer anything as you.
-
Undo
Immediate, and it does not ask them
Access ends the moment you end it. There is no notice period, no request to the other person, and no awkward conversation required first. They can walk away themselves too, without asking you.
Somebody helping you with your post should never be able to sign in your name.
- Two levels
- Read only, or read and tidy. Chosen per person, changed whenever.
- What they can never do
- Sign, agree, decline, submit, upload, or delete anything for good.
- Whose name is on it
- Theirs. Every act they take is recorded as theirs, not yours.
The detail
- What can somebody with read access actually see?
- Everything in the mailbox, and properly: the letters, the documents themselves, the receipts, and the history behind each one. Access that lists a file and will not open it is not access, and it would send them back to asking you to forward things.
- What does the second level add?
- Housekeeping only. Marking read and unread, moving things into folders, throwing something away and getting it back, and pausing a sender who is writing too often. All of that changes where a letter sits and none of it changes what a letter says or what you have agreed to.
- Could my accountant sign something on my behalf?
- No, and it is not a setting you could turn on by mistake. Signing, granting or declining a permission, submitting a form and claiming a document with a code are all bound to your own passkey. Somebody else attempting one while looking at your mailbox is refused outright rather than quietly recorded under their own name, because a silent fallback is how a delegate ends up signing a document they were reading for you.
- Can they empty my trash, or upload things into my Keepable?
- Neither. Permanent deletion stays with you, because everything else they can do is recoverable and that one is not. Uploading always lands in the uploader's own Keepable, never in the one they are looking at, so nothing can be planted in your records.
- Who am I allowed to invite?
- Somebody who already has their own Keepable and has proved their identity with their NIN. They accept with a one-time code you give them, shown once. An email-only account cannot be turned into a keyholder for another person's mail.
- What happens when I end it?
- It stops immediately. They are not asked and there is no waiting period. Everything they did while they had access stays on the record under their name, which is the other half of why this beats lending somebody your phone.
The limit
Someone you let in sees your Keepable, including the letters that arrive after you invited them. It is not a way to share one document with one person: for that, send the file, and they can check it without an account. It is also not a will. It does not decide what happens to your Keepable after you die, and nobody should plan their estate around it.
