Introduction
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 1st, 2026, effective April 15th, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how we process the information we collect about you when you use the Services. We define “Services” below, but it generally means the products and services that we offer to you.
Please carefully review this Privacy Policy and let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We encourage you to contact us, at any time, using the contact information at the end of this Privacy Policy.
Depending on how you use the Services, we may ask you to sign an informed consent form that describes certain aspects of the Services and asks for your consent to process your information as part of those Services. To the extent that there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and an informed consent form that you have signed, the informed consent form will control.
1. Key definitions
“Aggregate Information” is information about multiple individuals that we have combined so that no specific individual may be identified. Aggregate Information is not Personal Information because it cannot be used to identify you. For example, Aggregate Information may include a statement that “30% of our female users share a particular genetic trait,” without providing any data or testing results specific to any individual user.
“GENOMELINK” means Genomelink, Inc., which operates both the Genomelink™ and YourRoots™ brands and services. We will refer to GENOMELINK and YourRoots collectively as “we,” “us,” and “our” throughout this Privacy Policy. References to the “Services” include the products and services offered under both the Genomelink™ and YourRoots brands, including our websites at https://genomelink.io/ and https://yourroots.com.
“Cookie” is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web server. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. To learn more about Cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
“Data Collection Technologies” refer to Cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, and other technologies that we or third parties use on our websites and other digital services to collect information about your use of these services.
“De-Identified Data” is data that cannot be used to infer information about, or be linked to, an individual.
“Designated European Countries” means countries the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland.
“DNA” stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the molecule that contains your genetic information. Your DNA is what makes you uniquely you.
“Genetic Information” is any data concerning genetic material obtained from the analysis of your biological sample by us or by Third Party DNA services. Genetic Information also includes the fact that you have provided a biological sample or undergone genetic testing with us or any Third Party DNA Service, and any information derived from such testing. Genetic Information includes, but is not limited to, DNA, Raw Data and Traits.
“Personal Information” is information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your household.
“Raw Data” means information about your genotypes that is generated by Third Party DNA Services. Your Raw Data contains the “letters” (nucleotides A, C, G, T) that comprise DNA.
“Sensitive Information” is a subcategory of Personal Information under applicable data protection laws that may include, for example, your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, genetic information, biometric information, and information concerning your health, sex life, or sexual orientation. Additional information on the types of Sensitive Information we may collect can be found in Section 2 below.
“Service” means the GenomelinkTM service, associated websites (http://genomelink.io and http://www.genomelink.io/) and mobile applications, and other ancillary or related services we offer from time to time.
“Third Party DNA Services” means companies and organizations not related to or operated by us that you may use to obtain DNA testing and results.
“Traits” means the characteristics or attributes that may be influenced by your DNA. Your Traits may include your preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, preferences, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes. The traits we analyze as part of the Service are personal - not medical - in nature.

- With qualified research collaborators , only if you provide your explicit consent.
Genomelink will not sell, lease, or rent your individual-level information to a third party for research purposes without your explicit consent. In addition, without your consent:
- We will not share your data with any public databases, except as described below in connection with specific opt-in programs such as our forensic genealogy partnership (DNAsolves). If you separately and explicitly opt in to such a program, we may share your Genetic Information with that specific third-party partner solely for the purposes disclosed to you at the time of opt-in. You may withdraw your consent and opt out of any such program at any time.
- We will not provide any person’s data (genetic or non-genetic) to an insurance company, employer, or any entity that uses data for insurance underwriting, employment decisions, or risk assessment purposes. This prohibition is absolute and applies regardless of whether the user provides consent.
- We will not provide Genetic Information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities unless compelled by a valid search warrant that specifically authorizes the collection of genetic data. For non-genetic Personal Information (such as name, email, or IP address), we may comply with a valid court order or subpoena. We will notify you of any law enforcement request for your data to the extent permitted by law, and we will publish an annual transparency report detailing the number, type, and outcome of all law enforcement requests received.

Special Categories of Personal Information includes information about your racial or ethnic origin, genetic data (such as Raw Data), and data concerning health, sex life, and sexual orientation.
Other Uses: Any other purposes for which we wish to use your Personal Information that are not listed above, or any other changes we propose to make to the existing purposes will be notified to you by amending this Privacy Policy in accordance with the Section 17.
Hints and AI-Generated Suggestions.
- Automated Hints. We may use your family tree, records, or other submitted data to generate hints or suggestions about potential relatives or historical records. These hints are generated using automated algorithms and artificial intelligence and are not guaranteed accurate. They are intended to guide your research, and you are responsible for independently verifying their accuracy.
- AI-Generated Content Disclaimer. AI-generated content, including but not limited to narrative stories, transcriptions, search results, and genealogy suggestions, is provided on an “AS-IS” basis and may contain inaccuracies, omissions, or creative interpretations not supported by underlying records. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any AI-generated content. AI-generated content will be clearly labeled as such within the Services.
- Limitations on Use. You should not rely on AI-generated content for legal, medical, employment, or financial decisions.
- AI Data Usage and Opt-Out. We may use anonymized or aggregated data to improve AI features and other Services. If you prefer your data not be used for AI improvement purposes, you may opt out by submitting a request at https://privacy.genomelink.io/....
- Bias Mitigation. We are committed to testing for and mitigating bias in AI features, particularly those related to ancestry and ethnicity analysis, and we acknowledge that AI systems may reflect biases present in training data.
DNA Match.
- Overview and Consent. If you opt in to our DNA Match feature, we will compare your Genetic Information to that of other consenting users in our database to identify possible genetic relatives. When a match is found, limited information (such as your chosen display name, shared DNA amount in centimorgans, number of shared segments, and predicted relationship range) may be visible to your matches, depending on your privacy settings. We will never expose raw genotype data to other users. Participation is entirely voluntary and requires your explicit, informed consent.
- Opting Out. You may opt out of DNA Match at any time from your account settings, which will remove you from all match lists going forward. Prior match notifications already sent to other users will not be retracted.
- Unexpected Discoveries and Assumption of Risk. DNA testing may reveal unexpected information about your family relationships, including but not limited to: non-paternity events, previously unknown siblings or parents, that you or a family member was donor-conceived or adopted, unexpected ethnicity results, or other sensitive discoveries. By enabling DNA Match, you acknowledge that you understand and accept these risks.
- Relationship Prediction Disclaimers. Relationship predictions displayed in DNA Match results are statistical estimates based on shared DNA quantities. Multiple relationship types (e.g., half-sibling vs. grandparent) may share similar DNA amounts. Close relationships (parent-child, full siblings) are predicted with high confidence, while distant relationships (second cousins and beyond) have wide confidence intervals. These predictions should not be interpreted as definitive proof of any specific relationship.
- Privacy Controls. We provide granular privacy controls for DNA Match, including the ability to: (a) choose whether to appear in match lists, (b) control what display name or identifier is shown to matches, (c) choose whether your ethnicity estimate is visible to matches, and (d) choose whether any linked family tree is visible to matches. You may also set your contact preference (open to contact, limited contact, or no contact), which will be visible to your matches.
- Minor Protections. DNA Match is available only to users who are 18 years of age or older. If a parent or legal guardian manages a minor’s account, any DNA matching for the minor requires the guardian’s explicit consent, and the minor’s identity will not be displayed to other matches. All match interactions for minors are managed through the guardian’s account.
- Prohibited Uses. You may not use DNA Match results to harass, stalk, threaten, discriminate against, or repeatedly contact any user who has indicated they do not wish to be contacted. You may not create fake accounts to access another user’s match data, use match data for any commercial purpose, or attempt to identify users who have chosen to remain anonymous through external means. Violations may result in immediate account suspension or termination.
- Sharing Restrictions. DNA Match data may not be shared with insurance companies, employers, or used for any discriminatory purpose.
- Deletion. When you delete your Genetic Information or your account, you will be removed from all match lists and your match data will be deleted within 30 days.
- Support Resources. We provide links to genetic counseling resources and emotional support services for users who make unexpected discoveries through DNA Match.
Family Tree Data.
- Information We Collect. If you upload, create, or edit a family tree through the Services, we collect and process the information contained in your tree, including names, dates, places, relationships, photos, and stories you provide.
- Ownership and License. You retain ownership of all content you upload to your family tree. By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and display such content solely for the purpose of providing and improving the Services. This license terminates when you delete the content or your account, except for content that has already been shared with or copied by other users. You may export your family tree data at any time.
- Visibility Tiers. Your family tree is set to private by default. You may choose from three visibility tiers: (a) visible to other users on the platform only; (b) visible on public pages; or (c) visible on public pages and indexed by search engines and AI crawlers. Changing your tree from a higher visibility tier to a lower one will remove it from public access, but cached versions in search engines may persist for a period outside our control.
- Living Person Protections. We implement living person protections to prevent the disclosure of personal details of living individuals in shared or public trees. Living persons’ details (other than their relationship in the tree) will be masked and displayed as “Living Person” to anyone other than the tree owner and invited editors.
- Your Representations. You represent that you have the right to share all information you include in your family tree, and you agree not to include personal information of living individuals without their consent, except for basic family relationship information about your immediate family.
- Deletion. When you delete your family tree or your account, tree data will be removed from our systems within 30 days. Content that has been shared with or copied into other users’ trees will remain in those users’ trees.
5. When we share your Personal Information
We may share your Personal Information in the following circumstances:
- With service providers. We may share your Personal Information with contractors and third-party service providers who help us to provide the Service and to understand how you use it (each, a “Subprocessor"). Other categories of service providers we use include marketing, operations, payment processing, and technology vendors. The list of examples of our Subprocessors can be found here.
- With research partners. We may share your Personal Information with research partners only when you opt in to share your data with those partners or you provide your consent to share your Personal Information by signing an informed consent form. Our research partners may include commercial or non-profit organizations that conduct or support scientific research, develop drugs or medical devices, or are generally interested in DNA analysis. In some circumstances, we or a research partner may have a financial interest in the research arrangement.
Note: When we share your Personal Information with research partners, we do not have control over how those research partners use or disclose your Personal Information. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of the research partners and any other third party with whom you share, or ask us to share, your Personal Information.
- With other users. If you use certain features, we may share your Personal Information with other GENOMELINK users if you choose to allow it. For example, if you register for our DNA match feature and opt-in to information sharing, we may share your name and other Identifiers with GENOMELINK users who have similar segments or patterns of DNA.
DNA Match Sharing.
What We Share with Matches. When you participate in DNA Match, limited information about you may be shared with other participating users who share DNA with you. The specific information shared depends on your privacy settings and may include: your chosen display name or anonymous identifier, the amount of shared DNA (in centimorgans), the number of shared DNA segments, a predicted relationship range, and, if you have opted in, your ethnicity estimate and/or a link to your family tree.
What We Do Not Share. We will never share your raw genotype data, your email address, or your physical address with other users through DNA Match. You may adjust what information is visible to your matches at any time through your privacy settings. If you opt out of DNA Match, your information will be removed from all match lists.
- With forensic genealogy partners (opt-in only). If you separately and explicitly opt in to our DNAsolves program, we will share your Genetic Information with Othram, Inc. for inclusion in a forensic genealogy database. This database is used by law enforcement agencies solely for the purposes of identifying victims of crimes, missing persons, and unidentified human remains. We will not share your Genetic Information with law enforcement through this program without your separate, explicit opt-in consent. This program is not available in all states. See Section 3 above for full details.
- As required by law. We may share your non-genetic Personal Information (such as name, email address, or IP address) where we, in good faith, believe that a valid court order, subpoena, or search warrant requires us to do so. For Genetic Information, we will only comply with a valid search warrant that specifically authorizes the collection of genetic data. We may also share Personal Information to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, or violations of our Terms of Use; or in other circumstances where we believe is necessary to protect the rights, safety or property of GENOMELINK, our users, and third parties.
- As part of a business transaction. In the event that GENOMELINK is involved in a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your Personal Information will likely be among the assets transferred. In such case, your Personal Information will remain subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy.
Sharing Aggregate Information. We may share Aggregate Information with third parties or the general public for our marketing or research purposes. For example, we may provide Aggregate Information in commercial arrangements with our business partners so that they may develop new research or products. We may also provide Aggregate Information to advertisers so they may tailor marketing messages or advertisements to our general user demographics. Disclosures for these purposes will never contain your Personal Information.

We maintain reasonable and appropriate safeguards designed to protect your Personally Information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction. For example, we limit our collection and use of your Personal Information to the extent necessary to provide you with the Service. However, we cannot guarantee the security of our systems or your Personal Information, and we encourage you to take reasonable precautions to safeguard your Personal Data.
9. Data retention
We will keep your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including any legal, professional, accounting or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and all applicable legal requirements.
10. Users outside of the U.S.
We are committed to complying with this Privacy Policy and the data protection laws, including those outside of the United States, that apply to our collection and use of your Personal Information. We are located in the U.S. and may use facilities in the United States and other countries. When you provide us with your Personal Information or use the Service, we will process and store your Personal Information in the United States and such other countries where we have facilities. We recognize that the laws in the United States and such other countries may be different and, in some cases, not as protective as the laws where you are located.

Opt-out preference signals
Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit an opt-out preference signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, to online services you visit. When we detect such a signal, we set the Global Privacy Platform privacy string in your browser so that any third party who respects that signal will not track your activity on our website. Your request to opt-out of sale/sharing will be linked to your browser identifier only and not linked to any account information because the connection between your browser and the account is not known to us. GPC is supported by certain internet browsers or as a browser extension. Find out how to enable GPC.

Subject to certain limitations, we will delete your personal information from our records and notify our service providers, contractors, and third parties that you have requested deletion of your personal information.

Request Verification
Before we can respond to a privacy request, we will verify that you are the consumer who is the subject of the CCPA request. Requests to Opt-Out or Limit the Use of Sensitive Data (if applicable) do not require verification.
Typically, identity verification will require you to confirm certain information about yourself based on information we have already collected. For example, we will ask you to verify that you have access to the email address we have on file for you. If we cannot verify your identity based on our records, we cannot fulfill your CCPA request.
Authorized Agent
A California resident's authorized agent may submit a rights request under the CCPA by emailing us at privacy@awakens.co. Requests submitted by an authorized agent will still require verification of the consumer who is the subject of the request in accordance with the process described above. We will also ask for proof that the consumer who is the subject of the request authorized an agent to submit a privacy request on their behalf by either verifying their own identity with us directly or directly confirming with us that they provided the authorized agent permission to submit the request. An authorized agent that has power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code section 4121 to 4130 may also submit proof of statutory power of attorney, which does not require separate consumer verification.
If you have trouble accessing this notice, please contact us at privacy@awakens.co.
