Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about vaultroom virtual data room.

What is a virtual data room?

A virtual data room (VDR) is a secure online repository for storing and sharing confidential documents during high-stakes transactions such as M&A due diligence, fundraising, IPOs, and legal proceedings. Unlike physical data rooms, a VDR allows authorized visitors to access documents from anywhere while maintaining full audit trails of who viewed what and when.

How does vaultroom secure my documents?

vaultroom uses end-to-end encryption for documents at rest and in transit. Documents are encrypted using AES-256 encryption. Access is controlled through granular permissions, and every document view is watermarked with the visitor's email and timestamp to discourage unauthorized sharing. Full audit logs track all access events.

What types of documents can I share?

vaultroom supports all major document formats including PDF, Microsoft Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), images (PNG, JPG), and other common file types. Documents are rendered securely in-browser with dynamic watermarks applied automatically.

Can I control who accesses my data room?

Yes. vaultroom provides granular access controls including folder-level and document-level permissions. You can set view-only or download permissions per visitor, create visitor groups, set document expiration dates, and revoke access at any time. All access is logged in comprehensive audit trails.

How does watermark protection work?

vaultroom applies dynamic watermarks to every document viewed in the data room. Each watermark includes the visitor's email address and the exact timestamp of viewing, discouraging screenshots and unauthorized sharing. Watermarks are applied server-side and cannot be easily removed by visitors.

Does vaultroom support NDA gates?

Yes. You can require visitors to accept a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before accessing any documents in your data room. You can use a standard NDA or upload your own custom NDA template. Visitors must accept the NDA before gaining access to any documents.

How can I track visitor engagement?

vaultroom provides detailed visitor analytics showing which documents each visitor viewed, how long they spent on each document, which pages they completed, and when they accessed the room. You can see real-time activity of who's currently in your data room and track overall engagement trends over time.

Can I use vaultroom for fundraising?

Absolutely. vaultroom is designed for fundraising workflows. You can organize pitch decks, financial models, and due diligence materials in one secure location. Track which investors viewed which documents and get insights into their engagement level to prioritize follow-ups.

What is the difference between vaultroom and free file sharing tools?

Unlike consumer-grade file sharing, vaultroom is purpose-built for confidential deal workflows. Key differences include: dynamic watermarking, full audit trails for compliance, granular access controls, NDA gate enforcement, Q&A collaboration tools, and dedicated analytics for deal tracking.
