How Your Digital Autopsy Leaks Personal Data
from The Privacy Podcast with Fexingo: Data Protection, GDPR, and Digital Privacy Rights · host Fexingo
When a loved one dies, their digital afterlife becomes a data battleground. Lucas and Luna explore how funeral homes, obituary websites, and online memorial platforms harvest and sell the personal information of the deceased. They examine the case of Legacy.com, which has faced scrutiny for selling visitor data from obituary pages. The hosts also discuss how state-level privacy laws like California's CPRA extend rights to deceased individuals and why most Americans have no plan for their digital estate. Listeners learn one concrete step they can take today to protect their own data—and their family's—after death. #DigitalAfterlife #DataPrivacy #DeceasedData #LegacyDotCom #FuneralHomeData #ObituaryPrivacy #EstatePlanning #GDPR #CCPA #Technology #DataBrokers #OnlineMemorials #PrivacyLaw #DigitalEstate #PostMortemPrivacy #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ThePrivacyPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
