Ancestry added a link to 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' in the footer of their Terms and Conditions page on April 19, 2026. This link was inserted between the CCPA Notice at Collection and Consumer Health Privacy sections. The addition provides a direct navigation point to a disclosure or opt-out mechanism related to California consumer privacy rights under the CCPA.
The updated Terms now include a direct link to Ancestry's 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' disclosure. This provides California residents a navigation point to access their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act. The link appears in the footer alongside other legal documents and does not materially change what Ancestry is permitted to do with personal information, but improves accessibility to existing privacy controls.
The updated Terms establish clearer navigation to California privacy rights disclosures. This change improves accessibility to opt-out mechanisms required under CCPA and reflects standard compliance practice for serving California consumers.
