Privacy
Family trees contain details of real people, some of whom are alive. Gedcom Art is built so that your data never leaves your computer.
- No sign-up
- No watermark
- Your file never leaves your browser
Your family file is not uploaded
When you open a GEDCOM file, a photo or a project in Gedcom Art, it is read by your web browser on your own device. It is not sent to our servers, because the editor has no server to send it to: the website is a set of static files.
What is saved, and where
To protect your work from a refresh or a crash, Gedcom Art saves your current project, including the family data and any photos you added, in your browser’s own storage (IndexedDB). That copy exists only on your device. It can be removed any time by clearing the site’s data in your browser, and a remembered “supported” preference is kept in your browser’s local storage so the download prompt is not repeated.
Living people
By default, Gedcom Art hides the dates, places and photos of anyone who may still be alive. You can change that, but think about who will see the poster.
Analytics and cookies
Gedcom Art does not use advertising or tracking cookies and does not run analytics scripts. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may keep standard server logs, such as IP addresses and the pages requested, to run and protect the service.
Third-party links
If you follow a “Buy me a coffee” link you will go to Buy Me a Coffee, which has its own privacy policy. Nothing from your family tree is passed to it.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, the best place to ask is the support page, where you can leave a message.
