# Privacy Policy
Effective date: May 15, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how FamilyTree ("we", "our", or "the app") handles information when you use the FamilyTree mobile application.
FamilyTree is designed to help you create, view, save, and share family tree information on your device.
## Information You Add to the App
You may choose to add family tree information such as:
- Names
- Gender
- Birth dates
- Relationship details
- Photos
- Notes
- Hobbies
- Job information
- Location text
- Blood type
- Deceased or divorced status
This information is entered by you and is used to display and manage your family trees inside the app.
## Local Storage
Family tree data is stored locally on your device.
The app does not operate its own account system, cloud database, or remote family-tree sync service. If you delete the app or clear its data, locally stored app data may be removed from your device.
## Photos and Media
If you choose to add a photo to a person profile, the app may request access to your photo library or gallery. Selected photos may be cropped and stored in the app's local documents storage so they can be shown in your family tree.
The app may also request permission to save generated family tree screenshots to your photo library or gallery.
## Files, Exports, and Sharing
FamilyTree lets you export project files, generate PDF files, capture screenshots, and share files using your device's sharing options.
When you choose to share or export content, the information included in that file may be handled by the apps, services, or people you share it with. Please review the privacy practices of any third-party service you use to share exported files.
## Advertising
FamilyTree uses Google AdMob to show ads, including banner ads, interstitial ads, and app-open ads.
Google and its partners may collect or receive information from the app and your device for ad serving, ad personalization, ad measurement, fraud prevention, frequency capping, and reporting. This may include device identifiers, IP address, app interaction information, and similar technologies as described by Google.
Where required, the app uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage advertising consent choices before requesting ads. You can manage ad consent choices from the app's Settings page under Privacy Choices where available.
You can learn more about how Google uses information for advertising here:

## Third-Party Services
The app may use third-party services and device platform services, including:
- Google AdMob for advertising
- Google User Messaging Platform for consent management
- Device photo/gallery services
- Device file picker and sharing services
These third parties may process information according to their own privacy policies.
## Children
FamilyTree is not intended to be directed to children under the age required by applicable law to consent to data processing.
The app may contain family information about children if you choose to add that information to your tree. You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to enter, store, export, or share information about other people, including children.
## Your Choices
You can:
- Choose what family information you add to the app
- Edit or delete people in your family tree
- Delete family trees from within the app
- Manage ad consent choices where available in Settings
- Control photo/gallery permissions from your device settings
- Delete the app or clear app data from your device settings
## Data Security
We use the storage and security features provided by your device and operating system. However, no method of storage or transmission is completely secure. You should avoid sharing exported files with people or services you do not trust.
## International Users
Privacy and data protection laws may vary by country or region. Advertising consent and privacy choices may appear depending on your location and applicable legal requirements.
## Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the effective date above.
