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.

Communication effectiveness

The removal of deceased customers from your database enables you to communicate more efficiently with your database.

Brand reputation

Sending communications to someone who is deceased can cause unnecessary distress to their relatives, potentially damaging your brand and reputation.

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.
