Privacy Policy
Last modified: September 15, 2026. Famous Family Trees respects your privacy. We are committed to transparency and maintaining a privacy-first browsing experience.
1. Our Privacy-First Commitment
At Famous Family Trees (famousfamilytrees.net), you can browse noble dynasties, explore interactive graphs, search characters, and trace lineage paths completely anonymously. We do not require visitors to create personal accounts or disclose personal identifiable information (PII) to view our library.
2. Information We Collect
We do not harvest names, physical addresses, personal email lists, telephone numbers, financial data, or sensitive biometric details from our public readers.
Standard web server diagnostic logs (IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and timestamp) collected solely to prevent DDoS attacks and ensure server reliability.
3. Cookies & Local Browser Storage
We utilize minimal client-side browser storage (such as LocalStorage or session cookies) exclusively for functional preferences:
- Remembering diagram canvas zoom, panning preferences, and panel docking state.
- Caching recent search terms locally in your browser for fast keyboard navigation.
- Maintaining dark mode atmospheric styling preferences.
We do not use tracking cookies across third-party websites or engage in behavioral advertising networks.
4. Cloud Infrastructure & Image CDNs
To deliver lightning-fast interactive vector maps and high-resolution portraits across the globe, we partner with industry-leading infrastructure providers:
- Cloudflare R2 & Edge CDN: High-performance object storage and global caching for character portraits, heraldic sigils, and canvas wallpapers.
- Google Fonts: Webfont stylesheets delivered with privacy protections.
5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Because we do not store personal profiles or sell consumer data, we inherently uphold the core tenets of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You retain the right to inquire about any data held in administrative records or request deletion of correspondence.
