Análise dos Termos de Uso e Políticas de Privacidade de Redes Sociais Quanto ao Tratamento da Morte dos Usuários (Analysis of Terms of Use and Privacy Policies of Social Networks Regarding the Treatment of the Death of Users)

Social networks are now the main means of communication between people. Users access them many times along the day and have their data stored in these systems. If people are born and evolve in social networks, their passing away should be addressed by these systems as well. Terms of use and privacy policies are documents that determine the relationship between users and digital service companies. This paper reports the results from a qualitative analysis on how such documents address issues of post-mortem digital legacy in the following social web platforms: Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Foursquare/Swarm, Linkedin, Whatsapp, and YouTube. In our comparative analysis, we highlight the different solutions adopted by these social networks.
