We understand that privacy is an important issue for visitors to our web site. The following information is designed to help visitors understand what information we may gather from our site, and how we may use this information once it has been gathered.



Personal Information

Our funeral home may collect personal information that site visitors provide when they complete any online form, application, or survey. Information provided in a request for service or information link/e-mail will be forwarded to one of our associates or affiliates so that a staff member can respond to the request. Our funeral home may contact any visitor who has submitted a request for additional information, regarding the request.

Our company is the sole proprietor of all data files gathered and we do not rent or sell visitors' personal information to non-affiliate companies without the consent of the visitor.



Site Visitorship Data

Our Funeral Home uses aggregated site visitorship data to improve the content and services offered to site visitors. All reports cite visitorship data on an aggregate, anonymous basis, which means that no personally identifiable information is associated with it. This data may include:

  • The number of people who visit our site
  • The pages they visit
  • The amount of time they stay on our site
  • The domain name of the site where visitors are connecting from (google.com for example)
  • The aggregate demographics (age/sex/interests) of our visitors


Google may use this data to provide search results and advertisements more likely to be of interest to viewers with similar, general characteristics. Our Funeral Home may, in conjunction with the Remarketing and Similar Audiences features of Google, use this data to advertise to previous visitors to our website or audiences with similar aggregate characteristics to visitors to our website.

Users may opt out of internet-based online advertising by visiting: http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/. Opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the company or companies from which you opted out will no longer deliver ads tailored to your web preferences and usage patterns.



Use of Cookies

“Cookies” are small text files that a web site transfers to a site visitor's hard disk or browser for added functionality, or for tracking web site usage. We do not use cookies to gather personal information, like a person's name or e-mail address. In order to measure the effectiveness of our online presence, we may use cookies to identify repeat visitors to our web site, to determine the path visitors take on our site, and to identify visitors who came to our site as the result of a link on a third party web site.

Security

If visitors submit credit card information in an on-line form, our company uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology to protect the information they submit. This technology protects visitors from having their information intercepted by anyone other than our company while it is being transmitted. Our company works hard to ensure that our systems are secure and that they meet industry standards. Where appropriate, we employ firewalls, encryption technology, user authentication systems (e.g., user names and passwords) and access control mechanisms to control access to systems and data.
