Thank you for choosing Family Tree Builder – Platinum Elite ("the Application").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and respecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is processed, and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and other applicable privacy laws.

By downloading, installing, or using this Application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

3. Information We Collect

This Application has been designed with a Privacy by Design approach.

The Application does not collect or transmit your personal data to us.

All information that you enter into the Application—including but not limited to:

  • Family member names

  • Dates of birth

  • Dates of death

  • Relationships

  • Notes

  • Images

  • Photographs

  • Custom colours and settings

  • Family tree layouts

  • Exported files

is stored locally on your own device.

We do not receive, view, or store any of this information.

4. No Online Storage

The Application:

  • does not upload your information to cloud servers;

  • does not maintain online user accounts;

  • does not synchronise your information online;

  • does not remotely access your files.

Your data remains entirely under your own control.

5. No Third-Party Sharing

We do not:

  • sell your information;

  • rent your information;

  • share your information;

  • disclose your information to advertisers;

  • provide your information to marketing companies.

Because we never receive your personal data, we cannot share it.

6. Cookies

The Application itself does not use cookies.

If you purchase the Application through third-party marketplaces (such as Gumroad, Payhip, Etsy, or other payment providers), those services may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies.

7. Analytics

The offline Application does not collect analytics or usage statistics.

If you visit our website, the website may use basic analytics to improve our services. Any website analytics will be described separately within the website privacy policy.

8. Legal Basis for Processing

Because we do not collect or process your locally stored information, we do not process your family tree data.

Where limited information is processed for customer support (for example, your email address when you contact us), the legal basis is one or more of:

  • Consent

  • Contract

  • Legitimate Interests

  • Legal Obligations

as applicable under GDPR.

9. Your Rights

Where applicable under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • access your personal information;

  • request correction;

  • request deletion;

  • request restriction of processing;

  • object to processing;

  • request data portability;

  • withdraw consent where applicable.

Because your family tree data never leaves your device, these rights are exercised directly by you through the Application.

10. Data Security

We have designed the Application so that your information remains on your own device.

However, protecting your device remains your responsibility.

We recommend:

  • using strong passwords;

  • enabling device encryption;

  • keeping antivirus software updated;

  • maintaining regular backups;

  • storing exported files securely.

11. Data Retention

The Application does not retain copies of your information.

Your data remains stored only on your device until you delete it.

If you uninstall the Application without creating backups, locally stored information may be permanently lost.

12. Exported Files

When you export your family tree (including HTML, PDF, PNG, JPEG, WebP or other supported formats), those files are created entirely on your own device.

You are solely responsible for protecting, sharing, backing up, encrypting or deleting exported files.

13. Children's Privacy

The Application is intended for use by individuals aged 18 years or older, or under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.

The Application does not knowingly collect children's personal data.

14. Third-Party Services

If you purchase the Application through:

  • Gumroad

  • Payhip

  • Etsy

  • Stripe

  • PayPal

  • or other payment providers

those services operate under their own privacy policies.

We recommend reviewing their policies before completing your purchase.

Continued use of the Application constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
