Data Maintenance
Deceased screening
Deceased suppression is possibly the most important type of suppression, helping you to active sensitively when your customers have passed away. Mailing deceased individuals can cause further upset to bereaved families, could potentially lead to identity fraud and damage your brand’s reputation.
Deceased Screening Features & Benefits
Attempting to communicate with deceased individuals through any channel can cause further upset to bereaved families, risking damage to your brand’s reputation and your bottom line. You could also open your organisation up to potential identity fraud. By running this type of data cleansing you can be confident you are only ever contacting the right people.
Loqate’s deceased suppression service uses a combination of trusted deceased databases to ensure that your customer data is effectively screened against deceased data records.
Compliance Assistance
If you're not regularly checking your customer database against mortality files, then you could be at risk of not meeting GDPR requirements.
Brand reputation
Sending communications to someone who is deceased can cause unnecessary distress to their relatives, potentially damaging your brand and reputation.
Communication effectiveness
The removal of deceased customers from your database enables you to communicate more efficiently with your database.
