Privacy
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information LatestDeaths.org may collect when readers use the site, how that information is used, and what choices readers have. The policy applies to the website and its memorial archive pages.
Operational data only
Like most websites, the service may collect technical and usage information needed to operate, secure, and improve the archive.
External source links
Memorial pages link to third-party publishers and official notices, each of which has its own privacy practices.
Scope
What this policy covers
This policy applies to LatestDeaths.org and the archive pages, search tools, and informational pages made available through the site.

This policy covers information collected through the website itself. It does not cover the privacy practices of external publishers, institutions, obituary pages, or other websites linked from memorial pages or source listings.
