About nVault

nVAULT (www.nvault.biz) has suddenly emerged as a market leader in the secure protection and distribution of confidential information and intellectual property over the Internet. With its initial emphasis on empowering artists for the digital download of their original works from a secure electronic vault, and offering "content-on-demand" (COD) to the everyday consumer, nVAULT opens new e-commerce and community building opportunities for producers and consumers of art, film and music on a worldwide basis. By also now empowering consumers and patients with confidentiality and control over their own medical records, as well as providing medical practitioners with secure data, accessible anywhere, anytime, nVAULT provides a key value-added solution to privacy and security concerns within the on-line health information industry.

nVAULT also offers a variety of other personal privacy and security benefits to individual vault owners; including serving as an electronic safe deposit or lock-boxes for the on-line secure storage of many important documents; such as: financial information, birth certificates, passports, trusts and deeds, wills, legal documents, auto titles, insurance policies, stock certificates, medical records, etc. Only the owner of each private vault has control over the "keys" for electronic access and distribution of any secured documents. nVAULTs provide bank-like security at an extremely low cost; starting at only $ 5 per month per 100MB of storage. Vault owners may choose to store confidential data files in more than one nVAULT at any time, and have complete control over their storage costs.

nVAULT is the exclusive property of Axess Creative Properties, LLC, a Nevada corporation, sponsored by Axess Insurance Corporation, and a member of The AXESS MEDIA Group, Ltd.; in partnership with EnterVault, Inc. EnterVault, Inc., formed in July 2000, is a provider of trusted Internet services that support the security, delivery, storage and access of electronic files and documents for the benefit of an individual electronic vault owner. EnterVault provides back-end security and technical support for most of nVAULT's value-added product-line. PrivateVault, EnterVault's first online service, was originally designed to meet the unique confidentiality needs of financial and professional service providers, such as banks, healthcare providers, credit unions, lawyers, CPAs, securities firms, and financial advisors, as well as government contractors and third party suppliers. EnterVault, a Utah corporation, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zions Bank, an affiliate of Zions Bancorporation; the 36th largest bank in the U.S., with over 400 full-service banking offices in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Washington.
