Momeria will take reasonable measures to safeguard user privacy in line with the guidelines outlined in this policy and with applicable U.S. laws. In this policy, “user” or “you” refers to anyone accessing the Momeria Site, utilizing the Service, or providing any personal information to Momeria in connection with the Service. By utilizing the Service, you are expressing your consent to this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DISAGREE WITH THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING THE SERVICE.
What Information Do We Collect?
Personal Information: If you create a Momeria profile, we may request specific personal information (the “Personal Information”) for the profile, including details like your name, email address, and geographic location. When you sign up to use tools provided through the Service, which may include information sharing, account closures, obituary creation and placement, we will seek your name, address, date of birth, phone number, email address, location, and pertinent account details. If you register to use tools associated with managing your health information, like creating, sharing, or accessing advance directives, we may require information about your healthcare and medical history, which you provide directly to us (“Health Information”). When you contact Momeria through the Site, including via our digital concierge service enabling direct chat with a Momeria representative or other interactive tools on the Site, we will request your first and last name and email address. If you opt to receive communications from us via SMS, we will need your phone number. If you share additional personal information with us, we may store that Personal Information.
Web Tracking Information: We, along with third-party service providers we engage to offer services to us (“Contractors”), may utilize web tracking technologies such as cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and clear GIFs to operate the Service efficiently and gather data pertaining to Service usage. This collected data (“Web Tracking Information”) may encompass the websites you visited before and after visiting the Momeria Site, your browser type, your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the Service pages you visit, the links you click on, and whether you opened email communications we send to you. In order to collect Web Tracking Information and enhance your Service experience, we may store cookies on your computer. We may also employ web tracking technologies in web pages on the Service or in email communications to gather information about user interactions with the Service or such email communications, and our Contractors may do the same. We do not link Web Tracking Information to individual user Personal Information. Some Web Tracking Information may include data, such as IP address data, that is unique to you. You may be able to adjust your browser settings to modify which web tracking technologies are allowed when you use the Service, but this may affect the Service’s performance.
Mobile Users: If you access the Service from a mobile device, we may collect unique identification numbers associated with your device, your geographic location data, including GPS coordinates, or similar information regarding your mobile device’s location.
How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
Personal Information: We will use and store Personal Information for the purpose of delivering the Service (including establishing and maintaining your Momeria profile), as well as for analyzing and enhancing the operation of the Service. We may also utilize Personal Information for the Service’s internal operational and administrative needs. Personal Information is used for processing transactions related to the Services. We may input Personal Information into our contact management database and use this database to send you marketing materials and to contact you concerning your interest in Momeria products and services.
Health Information: We use Health Information to operate and administer the Service.
If you purchase premium products or services on or through the Service, we may use any Personal Information you provide to fulfill your purchase and for one-time and recurring billing purposes in line with the terms applicable to such orders. In the event that we (or our payment processor) encounter difficulties processing an order, such information may be utilized to contact you. Payment card information is sent in encrypted format and is solely used for transmitting it to our payment card processor for collecting payment for ordered products or services. Momeria does not make this information accessible to anyone other than our payment card processor and does not transmit it over a non-encrypted connection. After entry and submission, Momeria never views the full payment card number, except by the payment card processor for authorizing, clearing, and reversing charges to your payment card.
Aggregate Information: We will also generate statistical, aggregated data relating to our users and the Service for analytical purposes. Aggregated data is derived from Personal Information, but in its aggregated form, it does not relate to or identify any individual. This data is employed to comprehend our user base, and to develop, enhance, and market our services.
Web Tracking Information: We use Web Tracking Information to administer the Service and gauge the Service’s performance, store your user preferences, and compile statistical information on Service usage. This allows us to identify the most favored features among visitors to aid us in enhancing the Service, personalizing your user experience, and measuring overall effectiveness.
Legal Exception: Nevertheless, Momeria may utilize Personal Information to the extent mandated by law or legal process, or if Momeria reasonably believes that such use is necessary to investigate fraud or any threat to an individual’s safety, to protect Momeria’s legal rights, or to safeguard the rights of third parties.

California Online Privacy Protection Act Notice
On September 27, 2013, California enacted A.B. 370, amending the California Online Privacy Protection Act to require website operators like us to disclose how we respond to “Do Not Track Signals”; and whether third parties collect personally identifiable information about users when they visit us.
(1) We honor do not track signals and therefore do not track, use cookies, or employ advertising when a “do not track” mechanism is in place.
(2) We authorize the collection of personally identifiable information from our users for third-party use through advertising technologies.
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 also permits our users who are California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of Personal Information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please send an email to privacy@momeria.com. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per user each year.
Children: Momeria does not knowingly collect or maintain personally identifiable information from individuals under 13 years of age, and no part of the Service is aimed at individuals under 18. If you are under 18 years of age, please refrain from using the Service. If Momeria learns that personal information of individuals under 13 years of age has been collected without verifiable parental consent, appropriate steps will be taken to delete this information. To make such a request, please contact us at privacy@momeria.com.
