1. Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit Ancestor Dig, certain information about your device is automatically collected via the Blogger platform. This includes information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. As you browse, we also collect information about the specific research pages you view and the search terms or websites that referred you here.

2. No User Accounts or Registration

To ensure a frictionless experience for all researchers, this Site is built on a "click and use" model. We do not require you to create an account, provide a name, or log in to access any of our family history resources or tools. Consequently, we do not maintain a database of user profiles or login credentials.

3. Use of Cookies

As a Blogger-hosted site, Ancestor Dig uses cookies from Google to deliver its services and analyze traffic. Information about your use of this site is shared with Google. By using this site, you agree to its use of cookies.

• You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here: Google Privacy & Terms.

4. External Links

Our articles often link to external archives, digital repositories, and genealogical databases. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements when leaving our Site.

5. Data Retention

Since we do not utilize a login system or user registration, we do not retain personal data for our visitors beyond the standard, anonymous traffic logs provided by the Blogger platform.

6. Changes

We may update this privacy policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
