How a Shared Family Vault Works Without Exposing Your Private Records
Sharing household administration should not mean surrendering every private record to another person — or to the service carrying the data. A shared family vault creates a deliberately limited common space while each member keeps an individual encrypted vault of their own.
One household, separate private vaults
Each NYROX member keeps an individual vault protected by their own device-held key. Personal bills and notes remain there unless the owner chooses to share them. Linking accounts does not merge those private vaults or give one partner blanket access to the other's records.
The invite code is a bridge, not a key
A salted invitation code confirms which two accounts should link, but it never contains a readable encryption key. The Family Data Encryption Key is generated and exchanged on-device, then wrapped separately for each member. The server transports encrypted material but cannot unwrap it.
Shared utility with cryptographic boundaries
Household bills, sinking funds and selected ICE breadcrumbs can be placed in the family vault so both members can maintain the same operational picture. Personal items stay in the owner's individual vault. Privacy is determined by encryption and an explicit sharing choice, not by a hidden server permission.
Why the Family Plan has a recurring fee
The core NYROX vault remains a one-time purchase. The optional Family Plan covers the live infrastructure required to link accounts, route wrapped keys and keep shared records available to both members. That service fee pays for the connection; it does not buy NYROX access to the data moving through it.
