We use the information that we collect about you to create a more personalized online experience - records relating to a specific surname for example. This is just a brief overview, so please read on for more details about our Privacy Policy. This Policy may change from time to time, so please check back periodically.

We encourage you to ask questions and to be very cautious before you disclose your personal information to others.

This Privacy Policy will explain the following regarding use of our site:

What information does familytreeassistant.com collect from you?
familytreeassistant.com collects two types of information about its visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience while using our site.

Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are. Personal information is used to personalize your record search. We will only use your name for this purpose.

Non-Personally Identifiable Information
This refers to information that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We gather certain information about you based upon where you visit our site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. For example, this information may include the Web site's Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop.

Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide familytreeassistant.com's visitors with requested services. We review the actions of the familytreeassistant.com visitors on an aggregate basis to determine customers' preferences. familytreeassistant.com also does research on our visitors' demographics, interests, and pages viewed based on the information provided to us from our server log files and the HTTP headers.
