We offer two ways of storing data on the piqlFilm; shared and dedicated.

Shared: The shared option are for users with smaller amounts of data that would like to store their information secure, offline on the piqlFilm. This is purchased as a service through piqlConnect where we make it hassle-free for you and we maintain the physical protection of your data on the piqlFilm in one of our piqlVaults.

This is the safest way of storing your important data, everything easily managed through piqlConnect. If you want your information back, you request retrieval through the interface and we will read back the data for you on the piqlReader. Once the data is available for download in the Archive section, we will notify you and you can download your information with a simple click.

Dedicated: The dedicated option allows you to have the legal ownership of the physical piqlFilm. In this case we can always ship the piqlFilm to you whenever you want and you can control the retrieval process yourself, now and forever. Some of our users choose this in combination with having their own piqlReader.

You can also choose to let us physically store the piqlFilm on your behalf, either in one of the piqlVaults or in a third-party vault of your choice. On contrary to the shared service model, you will always have the intellectual ownership of the physical piqlFilm and can request to have this shipped back to you, when you want it.

This option is most common for users who have larger amounts of data so they have multiple piqlFilms, who wants to store their data in their own vault, or who wants to make sure they have the ownership of the physical medium into eternity.
