Privacy Policy and Cookies

The application does not allow for or collect passwords, financial information, or any other types of secure or personal data. Visits to the Gigatrees website will log the time of your visit, your IP address, the page visited and the referring website page. This is true of all websites. In addition, the application will (Gigatrees only) on startup contact the Gigatrees server to validate you are running the latest version of the software. It will also upon completion send anonymous statistics and error reports to the Gigatrees server. These are used to find and fix issues missed by testing that may be specific to your deployment or exporting application (such as providing support for new GEDCOM tags) and to populate the User Dashbaord and Statistics pages. No personally identifiable information is sent. You can review the data sent in the User Dashboard. You can also disable the reporting features in the configuration.
