We have agreements with our cryostorage providers to automatically transfer ownership of the assets to them in case Legacy ever did not exist in the future. So you would work directly with them and have the choice of either keeping the sample frozen there, or transferring it to a facility of your choice. We would help facilitate this to the greatest extent possible.
We do not yet have jurisdiction options, but I will say that I originally incorporated the company in Switzerland to benefit from their strong stances on privacy, and the "nuclear bunker option" is one that we are serious about setting up in the future. FWIW, nuclear bunkers are actually extremely common in Switzerland, this is a country-wide policy (https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/prepared-for-anything_bunkers-f...), so it's not a crazy idea to set up a cryo-facility in one.
For privacy, I'll start just by saying that I've been a privacy advocate for as long as I can remember, am a
user of Protonmail, Signal, VPNs, etc. I know how important data privacy and am only interested in working on a company that is designed to be privacy-focused from the beginning. As far as I know, we are the only company that is HIPAA-, GDPR-, and CCPA- compliant.
Most importantly, we do not sell your data. We outline our data collection in our privacy policy (on the footer of the website)

That reads pretty much as "good luck with that!" to me, I'm sorry. People would pay you exactly because they would never have a facility of their choice and in case it goes sour they would probably have to face a ridiculous price tag from some other new company not truly interested in keeping their sperm but that just happened to be part of your risk hedging or simply of a insurance deal.
Hey - I hear you, but I don't think that's entirely fair. We are obviously building a company that we believe will go far, and will be around for decades, but we recognize there's no guarantee that will happen.
In a worst case scenario, folks could keep their sample frozen where it is and pay retail rates at those facilities instead of the wholesale rates we offer.
We are real people who care a lot about the people who are using their service, and their ability to have kids in the future. We would genuinely do everything we could to support.
