At WikiTree, we aim to protect the privacy of all living individuals for their protection and in line with GDPR legislation. WikiTree has excellent privacy controls, but that won’t protect you and your family if you publish your personal information, or the information of your living family members, in your biography or communication preferences.
Since WikiTree is a public website, I suggest removing references to living individuals from your communication preferences. If you create profiles for your family members instead, WikiTree’s automatic privacy controls will protect their information.
Did you know you can check what is visible to the public, by going to your profile and clicking on the Profile (public view) tab?
If you have any questions about how WikiTree works, use the reply link below this comment (on your profile) to let me know. I am happy to help! If I can't answer, I will help you find someone who can.
Welcome Annette. Congrats on being a Family Member of WikiTree!
I am one of a team of volunteer greeters, here to answer your questions about WikiTree.
Our Member How-To pages can help you get started adding profiles or just learning your way around.
You mentioned that you don’t know much about your family tree yet. I assume you are new to genealogy. No problem! Every genealogist is a beginner at some point.
Take your time, keep track of sources and ask questions. Check here for tips.
This is just a note to say hi and to let you know that I'm available to answer questions about joining WikiTree.
