Privacy
Protecting personal data is important in the modern world. To help, My Family Tree includes two important privacy settings which can be used to restrict the information which is transferred when you create copies of your family tree data for sharing.
Hiding living people
In general, information about living individuals should be treated
as confidential. Any copies of your family tree data which you make
publicly available would normally require this information about living people
to be removed unless those with access to the information are trusted.
When the "Hide living people" option is enabled, living
individuals have all information except for their surname and sex
removed in the copies of the information produced.
Hiding private information
You can also mark most pieces of information as private within My Family Tree. When the "Hide private information" option is enabled, any information marked private is removed in the copies of the information produced.
