Terms of Use

Last updated: October 3, 2026

By creating an account or using Ancestale, you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.

The service

Ancestale helps you write your family's story, build family trees and share them with whoever you choose.

Your account

You must be at least 13 years old (16 in the European Union where applicable) and keep your sign-in details safe. You are responsible for what happens in your account.

Your content

The content you create stays yours. You allow us to store it and display it according to the visibility you choose.

When you add other people, especially living relatives, be careful and respectful. Data of living people is hidden from anyone outside the family.

Appropriate use

You agree not to:

  • publish content that is unlawful, offensive or violates the rights of others;
  • harass or expose people, or disclose someone's sensitive data without permission;
  • try to bypass security, overload or abuse the service.

Ending use

You can delete your content and your account at any time. We may suspend accounts that violate these terms.

Warranties and liability

The service is provided “as is”, with no guarantee of continuous availability. Keep a copy of anything that matters to you.

Changes

If these terms change, we will update the date at the top of the page.
