Client Data

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

Our commitment to data privacy encompasses several key principles: - 

1. We will only collect the essential personal data necessary to provide our agreed-upon services or facilitate communication with our clients. Personal data will not be used for any other purposes, nor will it be shared with any external parties. The legal basis for processing this data is to fulfil our contractual obligations to our clients. Clients are asked to consent to the storage and processing of their data when requesting our services. 
2. All collected personal data will be stored and processed with the utmost security. 
3. Certain services allow clients to pause and resume their family history exploration at a later time. To accommodate this feature, we will securely hold clients' personal data for up to one year following our last communication, unless a client requests earlier deletion of their data.
4. We conduct an annual review of the data we maintain for our clients and assess the adequacy of our compliance processes. Any updates will be reflected in this policy. 
5. Clients possess specific data protection rights, which we are obligated to uphold: 

• Right of Access: The right to request copies of the personal data we hold about them. 
• Right to Rectification: The right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete information. 
• Right to Erasure: The right to request the deletion of personal information. 
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: The right to limit how their data is processed. 
• Clients can exercise these rights using the contact details provided on this page. We are committed to responding to such requests within one month. 

Data Relating to Our Products

Given the nature of our business, we will provide clients with personal data regarding their extended family members. In our commitment to data security for all individuals, we will implement the following measures to protect the confidentiality of living persons:-

• We will not supply digital images of records that fall within these timeframes: - 
  • Births occurring within the last 100 years 
  • Marriages occurring within the last 75 years 
  • Deaths occurring within the last 50 years 
• For records outside these parameters, transcripts will only be provided upon verification that all the individuals to whom the record relates are deceased.
