Privacy

Respecting families and their information.

Privacy is particularly important when people contact us during bereavement or submit memorial information.

Information we may receive

Contact details, support requests, memorial information, volunteer expressions of interest and information you choose to include in an email or form.

How we use it

To respond to your request, coordinate support, review memorial submissions, manage volunteer or partner enquiries and improve the service.

Memorial information

We aim to confirm publication details with an authorised family contact before publishing personal memorial content.

Static website forms

The launch version uses your device's email application for forms. Information is therefore transmitted through your chosen email provider rather than stored in a Shine Down website database.

Sensitive information

Please avoid sending unnecessary medical, financial, identity or legal documents by ordinary email. Contact us first if verification documents are required.
