Swargbook, ("we," "us") provides online end-of-life services. Our Privacy Policy ("Privacy Policy") is designed to help you understand how we collect, use and share your personal information, and to assist you in exercising the privacy rights available to you.
SCOPE
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed by us in our business, including on our websites, mobile applications, and other online or offline offerings (collectively, the "Services").
I. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The categories of personal information we collect depend on whether you are an individual who creates an account on our Services ("User"), person with a relationship to a User for whom a memorial page is created ("Loved One"), provider of end-of-life-related services ("Business Account Holder"), an individual who accesses our Services without an account ("Website Visitor"), and the requirements of applicable law.
Information You Provide to Us.
-
Account Creation.
-
If you create an account as a User, we will collect certain personal information from you, such as your name, email address, and password. We may ask you for additional information on an optional basis, such as your age and gender, which may be included as part of your public profile.
-
If you register as a Business Account Holder, we will collect your contact name, role, email, password, and details about your business. In order to verify your identity and allow you to post items or services for sale, we may also ask for your business' telephone number, physical address, and payment information.

Information you share regarding Loved Ones.
Our Services allow Users to create pages and plan services (e.g., memorial services, charitable donations, sharing of photos or memories) for Loved Ones who are or are soon to be deceased. To create a page for a Loved One, Users must provide the Loved One's full name, date of birth and death, city they last lived, and gender. Users may optionally also add the Loved One's obituary, share photos, memories, or condolences, upload event information, make charitable contributions, designate other Users to manage content on the Loved One's memorial page, or upload other information as requested by us as needed to provide our Services (collectively, "Content").
