Functionalities

For the young person:

• A Digital Safe for the secure preservation of a digital copy of their documents and photographs.
• Access to the Digital Safe in a private and secure way (with a pattern or password).
• Consultation of any stored documentation, both from a mobile phone (with or without a network connection) and from a computer connected to the network.
• Sharing of documents to selected professionals or with QR or sending documents to third parties, for administrative procedures or other needs.
• Retrieval of the password through the supporting professionals, from a social services centre or a social entity
• Permanent remote contact with reference professionals
• Receipt of notifications (automatic or manual) about needs and procedures related to the digital copies of the saved documents
• Alert system allowing support professionals to be alerted

For professionals providing socio-educational support:

• Registration of the adolescent or young user in the application
• Scanning and uploading of documents to the Digital Safe of each user and incorporation of meta-data.
• Ability to communicate with the adolescent or young person at any time and to send them manual notifications regarding stored documents: upcoming expiry date, pending procedures, official appointments, etc.
• Secure password recovery service through key questions that verify their identity.

Characteristics

• It is easy and intuitive to access with the help of icons.

• It is for private use and for the exclusive use of the adolescent or young person
• It does not need to be associated with a phone number, email account or identity document.
• Is accessible from both a mobile phone and a computer
• It remains accessible if the user changes mobile phone, loses it or does not have it
• It offers password or pattern recovery in case of forgetting the password or pattern through key questions to verify identity
• It allows for permanent remote contact with socio-educational professionals through the mobile phone
• It sends the user notifications about needs and procedures related to copies of saved documents, generated automatically by the application or manually by reference professionals.

Unlike existing free cloud storage tools, the Digital Safe:

• It does not require an email address
• It does not require a telephone number or data contract (it will be sufficient to connect the mobile phone from time to time to wi-fi networks, or to access via a computer).
• It does not require an identity number (the identity will be registered and verified through key questions created by the professional together with the user and therefore undocumented young people can also benefit)
• It has a security system against possible loss or theft of the mobile phone, or attempts to impersonate the user’s identity
• It offers support and accompaniment by professionals from third sector organisations or public services.
