2A
Your Digital Setup
Tell us how you currently organize your digital life and which devices are part of it.
Which of the following best describes your current style of digital organization? (required)
Why we ask: This helps us understand how you currently move through your digital life, not just which tools you use.
What devices do you currently use regularly?
Why we ask: Different devices store, back up, and manage data differently.
Choose the organization style that feels closest to where you are right now.

Your Connections
One last setup piece: shared devices, home internet, and the providers connected to your digital life.
Do you share any of your devices with other people?
Why we ask: Shared devices can affect access, privacy, passwords, and digital boundaries.
Do you have Wi-Fi at home?
Why we ask: Internet providers often include useful network, privacy, and device-management tools.
If yes, who provides your internet service?
Why we ask: Many providers offer free tools for pausing Wi-Fi, blocking devices, and managing your network.
Who is your current cell phone provider?
Why we ask: Your provider may include spam blocking, backups, and mobile-security tools.

Security & Access
Now we’ll look at the everyday protections around your devices and passwords.
Do you use a passcode or password on your phone?
Why we ask: This is the digital equivalent of your front-door lock.
Do you use biometrics (Touch ID or Face ID)?
Why we ask: Biometrics can add both convenience and protection.
Do you use a password manager?
Why we ask: This helps reveal where password security and digital overwhelm may still be colliding.
If yes, who is your password manager?
Why we ask: Knowing the tool helps us understand how established that protection is in your routine.
If you don't use a password manager, where do you store your passwords?
Why we ask: This tells us how exposed or scattered your current password system may be.

Backup & Recovery
This section looks at what happens when a device fails, disappears, or simply needs to be replaced.
Do you know how to back up your data on your main device(s)?
Why we ask: We’re looking at both readiness and confidence.
How do you currently back up your devices? (Check all that apply)
Why we ask: We want to know which systems you trust and whether they are part of your actual routine.
When was your last backup?
Why we ask: A backup only protects you if it is recent enough to matter.

Email & Digital Storage
Let’s map where your important information lives and how you get to it.

Why we ask: Email is often the control panel for passwords, receipts, travel, accounts, and important life details.
How do you access your email most often? (Check all that apply)
Why we ask: Access method affects syncing, local storage, convenience, and security.
Where do you store files and documents online? (Check all that apply)

Your Digital Readiness
Last section. This is where confidence, maintenance, and the “what if something happened today?” questions come together.
When your phone tells you it needs a software update, do you feel confident doing it yourself?
Why we ask: Staying updated is part of staying protected, but confidence matters too.
Have you ever checked how much space is left on your phone?
Why we ask: Storage awareness helps prevent stalled backups, crashes, and avoidable device problems.
If I were to take your phone right now, factory reset it immediately, and give you $2,000 to replace the phone and any accessories, what would be your next thought?
(Check all that apply)
Why we ask: This moves past the device itself and helps us understand what information, memories, and access you would worry about losing first, which tells us where your digital safety net may need attention.
