At WikiTree, we aim to protect the privacy of all living individuals for their protection and in line with GDPR legislation.
WikiTree has excellent privacy controls, but that won’t protect you and your family if you publish your personal information, or the information of your living family members, in your biography.
Since WikiTree is a public website, I suggest removing dates and locations of life events and references to living individuals from your biography. If you create profiles for your family members instead, WikiTree’s automatic privacy controls will protect their information.
Did you know you can check what is visible to the public, by going to your profile and clicking on the Profile (public view) tab?
