Burial Cloud Security
“Your Memories Are Sacred. Here’s How We Keep Them Safe.”
A transparent look at the security and privacy protections built into every Burial Cloud memorial.
When you entrust a family’s legacy to a digital platform, you deserve more than promises—you deserve transparency and rock-solid protection. We’ve built Burial Cloud with that principle at our very core.
Here’s an honest, straightforward look at how we safeguard the photos, stories, and memories you share with us.
1. Your Data is Locked Down with Industry-Standard Encryption
Think of this as an unbreakable seal on your family’s most precious memories. Every single piece of information you upload—from a candid snapshot to a heartfelt “Heart Letter”—is protected by the same high-grade encryption used by the world’s leading financial institutions.
Whether it’s resting safely in our databases or traveling to your device, your data is scrambled into an unreadable code. Only you and the loved ones you choose can unlock it with the proper “key.”
2. We’ve Put a Virtually Impenetrable Wall Around Your Data
We’ve taken physical security to the next level with an “air-gapped” storage system for your most critical information. This means that your core data is stored on a network that is physically disconnected from the internet, making it completely inaccessible to any outside threats or hacking attempts.
It provides the ultimate peace of mind, ensuring that the heart of your family’s legacy remains untouchable.
3. We Only Collect What We Truly Need (And You’re in Control)
Transparency is non-negotiable. We follow a strict ‘data minimization’ approach, meaning we only ever ask for the information essential to creating and managing your memorial space, such as a name and email to set up your account.
You can review our policies at any time. Our Terms of Service, explain in plain English exactly what data we collect and how we use it.
4. The ‘Padlock’ You See Isn’t Just for Show
You’ve likely noticed the padlock icon and the https:// in your browser’s address bar when you visit burialcloud.net. This is powered by a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate.
In today’s world, SSL certificates are mandatory for protecting websites and the people who use them. Among their three core functions are encrypting data traveling between your browser and the server and verifying our website’s identity, proving that you’re connected to the real Burial Cloud, not a convincing fake. Consider that padlock our digital handshake, your immediate visual guarantee that you are in a secure, verified environment.
🗝️ Protecting Your Family Tree & Memories (A Note on ‘Digital Legacy’)
Many memorial platforms focus only on the present, leaving families stranded when it comes to the future of their data. Planning for the long term is a core part of our mission. We’re actively designing access and inheritance features so you can designate a trusted loved one—a “Legacy Contact”—who can manage or access the memorial when the time comes, preventing digital assets from being lost forever.
🛡️ Your Trust is Our Most Valuable Asset
We know that security isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Building that trust is an ongoing commitment. So, we will continue to update our practices and keep you informed every step of the way.
