  • When you register with or use HeavenAddress, we collect personal information such as your name, email address, telephone number, address, gender and any other personal or preference information that you voluntarily provide to HeavenAddress through the Websites or to a HeavenAddress services partner (which may include our funeral director partners). If you register or login to HeavenAddress via a social networking account, such as Facebook, the social networking site may provide your information to HeavenAddress.
