Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how FamiKi (“FamiKi”, “we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our family tree service (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Account information. When you sign in with Google, we receive the name, email address, and profile picture associated with your Google account.
- Family tree data. The people, relationships, dates, notes, and photos you add to your trees. This content is the data you create and control.
- Usage and technical data. Basic information such as browser type, device, and how you interact with the Service, used to keep it running and improve it.
How we use your information
- To provide, operate, and maintain the Service.
- To sync your trees across your devices and deliver sharing features.
- To send you service-related messages, such as access requests and invitations.
- To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, and security issues.
- To understand how the Service is used and improve it over time.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited ways:
- Trees you choose to share. When you invite someone to a tree or grant access, the contents of that tree become visible to them.
- Service providers. Trusted providers that help us run the Service (for example, hosting, email delivery, and authentication), under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Legal requirements. Where required by law or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Third-party services
The Service uses third parties such as Google (for sign-in and analytics) and cloud infrastructure providers. These providers process information as needed to deliver their services and according to their own terms and policies.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You can export a tree at any time, and you can delete individual trees or request that we delete your account and its associated data.
Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the address below.
Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated policy.
