Privacy & Compliance
Confidentiality
Our Commitment to Confidentiality
Your trust is our top priority. FuneralPlanningNJ.com (CAS Associates LLC) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that all our services are delivered in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Below we outline our key privacy practices and compliance standards:
- Personal Information Confidentiality: Any personal information you provide – whether through our website forms, email, phone, or in person – is kept strictly confidential. We use your information only for the purposes of delivering our services to you (for example, to make funeral arrangements or to provide you with information you’ve requested). We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties, ever.
- Limited Information Sharing: We will only share your details with third parties as necessary to carry out your wishes and services, and only with your knowledge. For instance, if we are pre-arranging a funeral, we might share relevant details with a selected funeral home, cemetery, or insurance company to set up your plan. In doing so, we ensure those parties are also obligated to protect your privacy. We do not disclose anything beyond what is required to fulfill your services.
- Secure Communications: Our website uses standard encryption (HTTPS) to protect any information you submit online. Our internal records (digital or physical) are secured and accessible only to authorized personnel. If we correspond via email or messaging, we take precautions to avoid including highly sensitive personal identifiable information unless necessary. You always have the option to provide information by phone or in person if you prefer not to send it electronically.
- Website Data & Cookies: FuneralPlanningNJ.com may use basic cookies or analytics tools to improve user experience (for example, to remember your preferences on the site or to see how many visitors access our Resources page). These tools do not collect sensitive personal details. You can adjust your browser settings to control cookies. We do not use any retargeting or invasive advertising trackers related to funeral services. If at any time we introduce new technologies that affect privacy, we will update our policy and provide an option to opt-out.
- Retention of Information: We retain your documents and plans on file for as long as needed to serve you (for example, keeping your pre-need arrangement on record until it is eventually used or canceled). If you request that we destroy or return documents, we will honor that request to the extent possible under law. We securely dispose of records that are no longer needed.
- Children’s Privacy: Our services are not directed to minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18 without parental consent. (In practice, funeral arrangements typically involve adults; in the case of arrangements for a minor’s service, communication is with the parent/guardian.)
If you have any concerns about privacy or data usage, please contact us. We can provide a more detailed privacy statement upon request and are happy to answer any specific questions about how we handle your information.
