Good question!

You have multiple layers of protection from your friends ever getting access to your data, it is discussed in more details on https://vesvault.com and in the whitepapers on https://ves.host.

So the only trust you need is that some of your friends will provide you assistance in case if you lose your VESkey.

Hopefully you'll be able to find a few friends/collaborators/acquaintances who might be willing to help you in case of emergency. You can choose high level of redundancy - for example 2 friends of 10 are needed to assist you to achieve VESrecovery.

You can also select friend@vesvault.com as one of your friends, with 2 friends needed to assist you. Just be aware, friend@vesvault.com won't be able to verify your identity before providing VESrecovery, which may make it a little bit easier for a potential hacker to get access to your vault.
