The data that a Legacy Contact can access depends on what the Apple Account holder stored in iCloud and in their iCloud Backup. A Legacy Contact can access all of the data types below — the original account holder can’t choose to exclude data types. For example, the account holder can’t grant access to only Messages and Mail and exclude iCloud Photos. But if they kept all of their photos on a third-party site, those photos aren't stored with Apple and won’t be in their Apple Account data.
Data that a Legacy Contact might be able to access includes:
iCloud Photos
Notes
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Messages in iCloud
Call history
Files stored in iCloud Drive
Health Data
Voice Memos
Safari Bookmarks and Reading List
iCloud Backup, which may include downloaded App Store apps; photos and videos stored on device; device settings and other content backed up in iCloud and not excluded by the list below
Data that isn’t available to a Legacy Contact includes:
Licensed media, for example, movies, music, and books that the account holder purchased
In-app purchases, for example, upgrades, subscriptions, game currency, or other content that was bought inside an app
Payment information, for example Apple Account payment info or cards saved to use with Apple Pay
Information stored in the account holder’s Keychain, for example, Safari user names and passwords, internet accounts (used in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages), credit card numbers and expiration dates, and Wi-Fi passwords
A Legacy Contact is someone you choose to have access to the data in your Apple Account after your death. For security, Apple reviews requests from Legacy Contacts and provides access to account data only after verifying the required information.
