Effective Date: October 27, 2025

1. Overview

Dear Darling, LLC (“Dear Darling,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website, contact us, or use our services, including our coordination and concierge offerings for families managing affairs after a loss.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that helps us provide our services responsibly and with care. This includes:

• Personal Information: Your name, address, phone number, email address, and other identifying details.

• Sensitive Information: Details related to a deceased individual, estate contacts, financial institutions, and service providers.

• Transactional Information: Records of services requested, communications, and any contracts or invoices.

• Technical Information: When visiting our website, we may collect IP addresses, browser type, device data, and cookies for functionality and analytics.

We only collect information necessary to perform our services or comply with applicable laws.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and manage concierge and coordination services.

• Communicate with you regarding your service requests.

• Process payments and issue invoices.

• Verify identities when needed for sensitive transactions.

• Coordinate with trusted third-party vendors (e.g., financial institutions, home service providers, estate planners, etc.).

We do not sell or rent your personal information.

4. How We Share Information

We share information only as necessary to fulfill our services or as required by law. This may include:

• Authorized third parties who assist in carrying out after-life or estate management services.

• Legal authorities when required by court order or legal process.

All vendors and contractors are bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.

5. Data Storage and Security

We use secure, encrypted systems to store personal and sensitive data. Access is limited to authorized staff and vendors who need it to perform their duties. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.

Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs, we will notify affected individuals as required by law.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as needed to fulfill our services, meet contractual obligations, or comply with legal retention periods. After that, data is securely deleted or anonymized.
