What happens to your online presence when you die?

It can be hard enough protecting your online privacy when you’re still alive, but what about your posts, photos and all that other personal info once you kick the bucket?

Twitter may auto-delete your account after six months of inactivity, but you’ll live on forever on other platforms unless a relative or law enforcement requests an account deletion.

Some sites, including Facebook and Instagram can also “memorialize” your page, which keeps the page alive but limits other certain other aspects, including what’s visible and shareable.

Here’s how different sites handle your profile after your passing.

Facebook

Here’s a creepy thought: Facebook has over one billion users, meaning thousands die each day, and the day may come when dead members outnumber living ones. And that day may not be far off, either; Digital marketing firm WebpageFX crunched the numbers and figured Facebook could become a digital graveyard as early as 2065.

Account deactivation: only if requested or page is “memorialized.” Users can designate a “legacy contact” to administer the memorial page on their behalf. Without a legacy contact, your profile is locked and cannot be edited.

Required to deactivate: proof of immediate family relation.
