Privacy

Janaza notices are public by design: they tell the community when and where a burial takes place. This page explains what else we collect, why, and how to ask us to correct or remove it.

What we collect

• Details of the deceased and the burial, as published on each notice.
• Names of relatives, as the family provides them.
• The informant’s name and phone number. The phone number is shown on the notice only if the informant agrees.
• Your WhatsApp number or email when you verify yourself to submit a notice or a correction.
• Optional private records (NIC number, death certificate, JMO report). Only admins and moderators can see them; they are never published.

How long we keep it

• Home addresses are hidden from the public 14 days after the burial; only the area is shown after that.
• Verification codes are deleted after two days.
• Private documents are kept for the period agreed with the Galle Janaza administration, then deleted.

Corrections and removal

Use “Suggest a correction” on any notice, or write to info@gallejanaza.com. We handle requests about living relatives and informants under Sri Lanka’s Personal Data Protection Act No. 9 of 2022.
