PRIVACY + INFORMATION CARE
Privacy, explained without the fine-print fog.
This policy explains what information Alder Row may receive through this website, why we use it and the choices available to you. Please do not send Social Security numbers, payment details, medical records or other highly sensitive information through a general contact form.

PRIVACY CONTACT
01 · SCOPE
What this policy covers
This policy applies to information collected through the Alder Row Funeral Home website, including general questions, requests for pricing, planning inquiries and messages submitted through a website form. It does not replace the separate notices, authorizations or records that may apply when a family enters into funeral arrangements or another service relationship.
02 · INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Information you provide and basic site data
You may provide your name, telephone number, email address, preferred method of contact, whether assistance is immediate or related to planning ahead, and the content of your message. The website may also receive basic technical information such as IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages visited, approximate location and timestamps. We ask for only the information reasonably needed to answer the inquiry or operate the site.
03 · HOW WE USE INFORMATION
To respond, coordinate and protect the website
We may use information to return a call or email, arrange a conversation with a funeral director, provide requested information, prepare for a planning appointment, maintain appropriate business records, protect the website, prevent misuse and improve how information is presented. We do not use a general website inquiry to make automated decisions about a person or to replace direct communication in an immediate-need situation.
04 · COOKIES + ANALYTICS
Essential functions and measured improvement
The website may use essential cookies or similar technologies for navigation, form delivery, security and saved preferences. If analytics are enabled, they may be used to understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, referral sources and device performance. The live site operator should identify the specific services in use and provide any consent controls required by applicable law. Browser settings can usually limit non-essential cookies, although some site functions may be affected.
05 · SHARING
Limited sharing for defined purposes
Information may be shared with service providers that host the website, deliver email, support forms, maintain records, protect security or provide professional advice. It may also be disclosed when required by law, legal process or a competent authority, or when reasonably necessary to protect people, rights or property. Providers should receive only what they need for their role. Alder Row does not sell personal information submitted through this website.
06 · RETENTION + SECURITY
Keep only what is needed, and protect it reasonably
Website inquiry information is retained only as long as reasonably needed to answer the request, maintain appropriate records, resolve a concern or meet a legal obligation. Reasonable safeguards may include encrypted transmission, access controls, account protection, secure providers, backups and procedures for responding to an incident. No online system is completely secure, which is why highly sensitive information should be discussed through an appropriate direct channel rather than a general form.
07 · YOUR CHOICES
Access, correction and communication preferences
Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct or delete certain personal information, or object to a particular use. You may also ask not to receive optional communications. Identity may be verified before information is disclosed. This website is not directed to children under 13, and Alder Row does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the public contact form.
08 · CHANGES + CONTACT
