Therefore, as a genealogist, I may have collected such information related to you and your family from a variety of publicly available sources. The privacy of this information is very important to me and I assure you there is a strong privacy policy in place for the Rintoul/Bowman Family website.
Most of us would prefer not to have to worry about our personal data. However, in this day and age, it is a very real concern, and we must use caution to prevent misuse of information. Identity theft and credit fraud are the worst problems. Concerns about misuse of information are valid, and therefore we have made efforts to secure such information on this site that could be misused for fradulent purposes.
This site, and the following Privacy Policy, distinguish between "living" and "non-living" individuals. Further detail is provided in this Privacy Policy, but in high level, this means:
This website suppresses the names of all living individuals, substituting "Living" in place of a "living" individuals full name for the general public. If you are aware that someone is living and their full name is shown here, please let me know, so that I may quickly remedy the situation.
Note: Only individuals who have registered with our website as confirmed family members and are logged in to the site will be able to view information on living individuals. At the discretion of the site administrator, this access may be restricted to only their branch of the family.
Photographs containing living individuals are considered personal data and are completely suppressed for the general public. At this time, no exceptions will be made. For access to photos of living individuals, you must register so that I may confirm your connection to our family.
Any legitimate objection to the display of any photograph on this site, for living or non-living relatives, will result in the timely removal of the photograph from the site until such objection can be addressed.
To ensure the privacy of "living" individuals, our genealogy website always suppresses their personal data from viewing by the general public. Personal data includes, but is not limited to, names, birth/marriage dates/locations, photographs, notes, and biographies.
Personal data access is restricted to registered and confirmed family members who must login to access the normally suppressed personal data of living individuals. At the discretion of the site owner, access may be restricted to their own family branch only. By registering for access, you are indicating your agreement with our Privacy Policy & Terms of Use, and the Data Protection Policy. When registering for your user account, you must indicate how you are related to an individual already in our database. All user access is reviewed, and will be granted or denied at the administrator's discretion.
If you are not related, you will not normally be granted a user account unless a very special reason is identified. In this case, a temporary or time-limited account can be made available.
Your access may, in some circumstances, be restricted to:
Note: If any family individual does not want their suppressed personal data accessed (even by registered users), our security design allows a "privacy lock" to be put on this data. This does, however, preclude registration of that individual with this website. Please review our Data Protection Policy for more information.
Personal information collected by me in trust (email/street addresses, phone numbers, etc.), as a result of an application for membership will not be divulged to any person or entity for any purpose whatsoever unless we are legally bound to prevent or detect a crime. You should be aware, however, that much of this information is already in the public domain and may be readily available to others using internet search engines (e.g., Yahoo People Search, Google.com, Birthday.com).
This website reports on user activity via Google Analytics. Data collected is for purposes of evaluating server loads, and determining ways to improve the website, and will not be divulged to any person or entity for any purpose whatsoever. Data collected includes, but is not limited to, general location, referral data, browser type, and in the case of registered users, your User ID unique only to this website. Many websites use this same technology to analyze their traffic. If, for any reason, you are not comfortable with this collection of data, you may either discontinue viewing this site immediately, or you may opt-out of tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Opting out of tracking will prevent Google Analytics tracking on all websites that use this tracking technology.
