Effective September 4, 2026
These terms explain the responsible use of Family Tree and the services you may choose to connect to it.
By downloading, accessing, or using Family Tree: Private Archive, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the app or its optional cloud services.
These terms apply to the app, this website, support, cloud synchronization, and read-only family tree sharing. The Privacy Policy explains how information is handled.
Family Tree is licensed, not sold, for your personal, non-commercial use. You may use the app on Apple devices associated with your App Store account, subject to Apple’s usage rules and the Apple Standard End User License Agreement.
The app, website, visual design, software, and related intellectual property remain the property of their respective owner. You may not copy, redistribute, sell, reverse engineer, or misuse them except where applicable law expressly permits it.
You keep ownership of the names, relationships, dates, stories, photographs, and other material you add. You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of that content and for having the right to record, store, export, or share it.
Family archives can contain sensitive information about living people. Please respect their privacy, obtain any permission required by law, and share an archive only with people you trust.
The app can be used locally without an account. You are responsible for keeping a separate export of information you cannot afford to lose and for protecting access to your device and backup files.
If you choose cloud sync, sign-in, or read-only sharing, you authorize the technical processing needed to provide those features. Access depends on your account, internet connection, Apple and Google services, and service availability. You can stop sharing or delete your cloud account from the app as described on the Support page.
Do not use Family Tree to break the law, violate another person’s rights, gain unauthorized access, disrupt the service, distribute harmful code, or upload content you are not entitled to use. Access to optional online features may be limited or ended when reasonably necessary to protect users, the service, or comply with law.
The app and optional services may change as features, security requirements, operating systems, or third-party services evolve. Features may occasionally be unavailable, and no uninterrupted or error-free operation is promised. Reasonable care will be taken when changing or discontinuing a service that stores synchronized information.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Family Tree is provided “as is” and “as available.” No guarantee is made that the app will meet every requirement or prevent every loss of data. Liability is limited only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits rights, remedies, warranties, or liabilities that cannot legally be excluded or limited. The Apple Standard End User License Agreement also applies to App Store downloads; these terms supplement it and do not reduce Apple’s obligations under that agreement.
These terms may be updated when the app or its services change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms, to the extent permitted by law.
Questions about these terms can be sent to [email protected].
