The type of personal information I collect

 

I currently collect and process the following information:

 

  • Personal names

  • Contact numbers

  • Email addresses

  • Home addresses

​

How I get the personal information and why I have it

​

Most of the personal information I process is provided directly by a funeral home for the purpose of contacting you regarding the planning of a funeral service/memorial service or internment of ashes.

I also receive personal information indirectly, if a family member or friend has passed your number or details on so I can speak to you.

​

I use the information that I am given in order to arrange a funeral service and maintain contact with a family for a short period.

​

I may share this information with the Funeral Directors who are working on your behalf or the crematorium/cemetery which I am working with on your behalf.

​

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the lawful bases I rely on for processing this information are:

​

  • I have a contractual obligation.

  • I need it to perform a public task.

  • I have a legitimate interest.

​

​

How I store your personal information

​

Your information is securely stored on my password protected computer or in a notebook at home, which is stored securely. My computer has a password which only I know.

I keep email address, addresses, names and phone numbers for 3 months after I have finished working with you. I will then erase your information by deleting the emails from the funeral directors and yourself and also any other personal information from my email account and safely shred any paperwork I may have with your details on.

​
