Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2026Version v0.1-draft
Draft — pending legal review. This page is scaffolding, not reviewed or binding legal content. Do not publish or rely on it until counsel has reviewed and replaced the placeholder text below.

This policy will describe how Procession OS handles personal data for funeral home staff, and — separately — for the families those funeral homes serve through the family portal. Replace with the real scope statement: who this covers, and who it does not (e.g. job applicants, website visitors vs. product users).

1. Information We Collect

Enumerate categories: account/staff data, decedent and family information entered by funeral homes, family-portal submissions, payment data, usage/analytics data, and note that decedent/family data is entered by the funeral home as data controller, not collected directly from the data subject in most cases.

2. How We Use Information

List purposes: providing the service, AI-assisted drafting features, customer support, product improvement, legal compliance, and communications.

4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

Describe sharing with subprocessors (link to /subprocessors), integrations the customer opts into (e.g. QuickBooks), legal disclosure circumstances, and confirm data is not sold.

5. Data Retention

State retention periods for account data, case/decedent records (likely long, given funeral industry recordkeeping norms and statutory requirements), and deletion procedures on account closure.

6. Your Rights & Choices

Cover access, correction, deletion, and portability rights where applicable, and how to exercise them — including the distinction between the funeral home (controller) and Procession OS (processor) for decedent/family data.

7. Security

Describe technical and organizational measures at a level appropriate for public disclosure (encryption in transit/at rest, access controls) without detailing specific defenses.

8. Children's Privacy

State that the service is not directed to children and is not knowingly used to collect data from them, with the standard carve-out for decedent records that may reference a minor.

9. International Transfers

State where data is hosted/processed and the transfer mechanism used if data crosses borders (e.g. SCCs).

10. Changes to This Policy

Describe how material changes are communicated and that the “Last updated” date and version above reflect the current version.
