Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Obituary News (referred to as "we", "our", or "the site") handles personal information from visitors, families submitting obituaries, and readers leaving tributes.
Information We Collect
Obituary information: Names, dates, biographical details, photos, and family information published with the consent of the family or authorized submitter.
Tribute submissions: Names and messages voluntarily submitted by readers leaving tributes. Tribute submitters' IP addresses are stored briefly for spam prevention but not displayed publicly.
Analytics: Aggregated, non-identifying visit data via standard server logs and analytics. We do not track individual users across the web.
How We Use Information
Information is used solely to:
- Publish and display obituary content as intended by the submitter
- Display approved tributes to honor the deceased
- Prevent spam and abuse of the tribute system
- Improve the site's performance and user experience in aggregate
What We Do NOT Do
- We do not sell personal information to third parties
- We do not share family contact information with marketers
- We do not use obituary data for advertising profiling
- We do not require accounts or logins to read obituaries
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site direct readers to third-party services (flowers, tree-planting, donations). When you click these links, the third-party sites have their own privacy policies. We may earn an affiliate commission, but no personal information is shared by us at the time of click.
Cookies
We use minimal cookies, primarily for tracking which pages a reader has visited within a session and for preventing duplicate tribute submissions. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Removal Requests
Family members may request removal of obituary content at any time. See our Editorial Policy for details. We honor all reasonable removal requests promptly.
Children's Privacy
This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Obituaries of minors are published only with explicit family permission.
