I did NOT receive any email and found out about the Ancestry change via Judy’s blog. The vendors do NOT have to notify you via email or message. I WANT my cousins to use these articles for their own research, and to share with others – but I have absolutely NO INTENTION, EVER of “giving” this information to Ancestry to use unrestricted as they see fit.Īs always, Judy encourages everyone to thoroughly read any new terms of service or modifications issued by ANY vendor because these documents change the contract you have with that vendor. I will leave the links to my articles, but I will add a note to each of those articles asking people to NOT copy, paste and/or upload anything from my articles to Ancestry – and I’ll explain why.

So, please, PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD anyone’s work except your own and only then if you intend to grant Ancestry perpetual (forever) rights to do anything they want with everything you upload.Īs for me, I’m deleting every single one of the images I’ve ever uploaded. I was pretty sure that since I only posted the link that Ancestry CANNOT take anything contained within these stories so long as NO ONE ACTUALLY COPIES THE ARTICE, PHOTOS OR IMAGES AND POSTS THEM TO THEIR TREE at Ancestry. I’ve added web links to the stories I’ve written about each ancestor to that ancestor’s Ancestry profile card. Q2: What about external web links I’ve posted in the profiles of each of my ancestors?Ī2: Ancestry can’t utilize anything from the link itself. That 30 days began on August 3 rd which means that if you do NOT remove something already uploaded or saved, Ancestry retains the right to use it any way they see fit, forever. Ancestry is taking that right by modifying the terms and conditions and notifying you – which started the clock.

I’m using the word “give” very loosely here. Judy presumes, and therefore I do too, that this means that customers (or anyone who has uploaded anything) to trees have 30 days to remove anything they don’t want to give Ancestry the right to use in any way they wish. Q1: What about photos and stories I’ve already uploaded, before this new change in Ancestry’s Terms and Conditions?Ī1: Judy says that relative to materials previously uploaded, Ancestry says the new terms take effect 30 days from the date you’re informed – which was August 3. I reached out to Judy with a couple questions which she was kind enough to answer:

I’m not a lawyer, but Judy Russell* certainly is and she has addressed this new information in her blog, here, titled “One big change at Ancestry.” Once uploaded, there’s no taking this decision back and there’s no revoking that permission at Ancestry. However, that does NOT, DOES NOT, extend to Ancestry claiming my photos for their own use – regardless of whatever that use is – forever. Furthermore, I want to share photos and family history with my cousins. I wanted to encourage other people to upload photos of my ancestors, because I want to find photos that I’ve never seen. In the past, I’ve ENCOURAGED people to upload photos because it makes your tree more attractive – as cousin bait. Yes, if you haven’t guessed, I’m gritting my teeth…and that’s putting it mildly.

This includes any image or information that you have saved that was associated with anyone else’s tree.

Or, if Ancestry has offered one of your images/photos as hints to someone and they have accepted that hint and added your image to someone in their tree.

This includes anything you’ve shared with anyone else and THEY’VE uploaded to Ancestry trees too.

Ancestry can now do whatever they want with anything you upload to your ancestry tree beginning August 3, 2021.

Delete anything previously uploaded or saved during the next 28 days (before September 2, 2021).

And there’s nothing I can do about it except: See all these photos I’ve uploaded to Ancestry?Īccording to Ancestry’s new updated Terms of Service dated August 3, 2021, Ancestry will be able to use these photos, and anything else I’ve ever uploaded or saved, in any way they want, for any purpose, forever.
