# Introduction to My Contact Book

The **Contact Book** allows you to securely store important contact information and manage your Trusted Parties. As with the Vault, all contact information is **encrypted**, so any notes, labels or other data you enter will only ever be visible to you.

**Use the Contact Book as your single source of truth** for anyone whose contact details matter to you - family members, business contacts, medical providers and more. For **Trusted Parties**, start by adding the most important people in your life who should have access to your information when needed, such as family members and professional advisors.

You can add **Labels** and **Notes** to each Contact or Trusted Party.

> **Labels** help you sort and categorise your contacts, while **Notes** let you add extra information or context. What you include is completely up to you, but labels become especially useful as your contact list grows.
