Heart2Soul's mission is to educate, offer planning information
and connect people. Heart2Soul is the resource to turn to when you
need funeral-related education, planning and support. It's a place
to learn about funeral traditions and etiquette, so you know what
to say and do. Where you can show support to a family who is
grieving. Where you can connect with family and friends near and
far during a difficult time. And where you can find resources to
help plan a funeral. We are not funeral directors.
Our goal is to help family and friends find answers at a time when
there are so many questions. And to educate everyone as they
navigate their way through this difficult life event (collectively,
the "Service"). In connection with the Service, we collect certain
personal information from registered users. This information may
include personal information such as name, address, city, state,
ZIP code, phone, and email address.

liability that may arise from, any information whatsoever posted by

for handling your account or performing other necessary services
that you require. Although we may share sensitive financial

Sharing of Information
When you submit information to Heart2Soul, it is generally
collected, processed and maintained solely by us. Sometimes we may
allow partner companies to collect non-personally identifiable
information about Users from us or other information directly from
you (through their Web site). When Heart2Soul is the source, it is
usually so that we can provide a service with a partner. We choose
to work with companies that we believe to be upstanding and that we
believe will treat your information responsibly. But, since we
don't own these companies, we can't speak for them on privacy
issues. Before telling them about yourself, check out their privacy
statements. If you are not satisfied with their information
practices, you can choose to not use their service.
If you do not want us to share information about you with our
business partners, you may send us an e-mail at email@example.com. Include the word
"privacy" in the subject line of the e-mail and all your
registration information in the body of the e-mail. Heart2Soul
reserves the right to transfer, sell and/or distribute all
information collected on its Site for any purpose, including, but
not limited to, for satisfaction of any debt or upon liquidation of
the company should such a situation arise.

both private and public areas of the Site at our discretion to
anyone, if required by law or if given reason to believe, in our
sole discretion, that someone is causing injury to or interference
with the rights of Heart2Soul members or the general public, or
with Heart2Soul's rights of property.

whether to receive correspondence from either Heart2Soul or its
affiliates or partners and whether you want to participate in a
variety of Heart2Soul-sponsored programs or specials that may be
offered from time to time. This information remains on your Profile
