Cannon-Byrd Funeral Homes (“Cannon-Byrd,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at cannonbyrd.com (the “Site”), how we use and protect it, and the choices you have. It also describes our general practices for information you provide to us in the course of arranging or pre-planning funeral, burial, cremation, and related services.
By using our Site or providing information to us, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site or submit information to us.
1. Who We Are
Cannon-Byrd Funeral Homes is a family-serving funeral provider operating locations in Fountain Inn and Simpsonville, South Carolina. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our handling of your information, you can reach us using the contact details in Section 13.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in a few different ways:
Information you provide directly. When you contact us, request services, book a pre-planning appointment, submit a form, sign an online guestbook or condolence, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide information such as your name, email address, mailing address, telephone number, the name of a deceased loved one, and any details or messages you choose to include. If you make a payment or enter into a service agreement with us, additional information may be collected as part of that transaction, typically through our funeral home offices rather than the Site.
Obituary and memorial content. Our Site allows visitors to view obituaries and to leave condolences, tributes, memories, or messages in online guestbooks. Any information you submit in these areas — including your name and the content of your message — may be displayed publicly on the Site.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, when you visit our Site we may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, the pages you view, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this information using cookies and similar technologies (see Section 6).
Information from third parties. We may receive information from service providers that help us operate the Site, host obituaries, process payments, or manage communications, as well as from social media platforms if you interact with us there.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide the services you request;
- Arrange, coordinate, and fulfill funeral, burial, cremation, memorial, and pre-planning services;
- Schedule and manage appointments;
- Publish obituaries and display condolences and guestbook entries you submit;
- Send you information, updates, confirmations, and administrative messages;
- Operate, maintain, improve, and secure our Site;
- Understand how visitors use our Site so we can improve it;
- Comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations; and
- Protect the rights, property, and safety of Cannon-Byrd, our clients, and others.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers. We share information with trusted third parties who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, obituary and memorial platforms, payment processing, email delivery, and analytics. These providers are permitted to use your information only to perform services for us.
Public content. Obituaries, condolences, tributes, and guestbook entries you submit are intended to be displayed publicly and may be visible to anyone who visits the Site or is directed to it.
Legal and safety. We may disclose information when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to comply with a law, regulation, subpoena, court order, or legal process; to enforce our agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Cannon-Byrd, our clients, or others.
Business transfers. If Cannon-Byrd is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to this Privacy Policy.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites and services, including social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and may embed or link to third-party obituary or memorial tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services you use.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to help the Site function properly, remember your preferences, understand how the Site is used, and improve your experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can usually adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent; however, some parts of the Site may not function properly if you disable cookies.
We may also use third-party analytics services that use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how visitors use the Site. This information is used in aggregate to help us understand and improve the Site.
7. Your Choices
You have choices about how your information is used:
- Email communications. You may opt out of non-essential emails from us by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message or by contacting us directly. We may still send you messages necessary to complete or manage a service you have requested.
- Cookies. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, as described in Section 6.
- Access and updates. You may contact us to request that we review, update, or correct the personal information we hold about you, or to ask that we remove a condolence or guestbook entry you submitted.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect the personal information we collect against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You provide information to us at your own risk.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to provide our services, to comply with our legal, regulatory, tax, and recordkeeping obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Obituary and memorial content may remain publicly available on the Site indefinitely unless we remove it.
10. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.
11. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting. Because there is not yet a common industry or legal standard for recognizing and responding to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Site after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.
