Ancestry updated the navigation menu and footer layout of its Privacy Statement on May 6, 2026. The changes reorganized how certain links are presented—moving 'About Us' into the footer, reordering some menu items, and adding a 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link in the footer. These are structural and presentational updates to how privacy-related information and opt-out options are accessed, not changes to the actual privacy rights or data practices described in the statement itself.
This change makes it easier to find and exercise your right to opt out of data sales or sharing under California privacy law. The 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link is now prominently placed in the footer of Ancestry's Privacy Statement, rather than being buried elsewhere. You can click this link from the privacy page directly to manage your data sale preferences.
→ Locate and click the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link in the footer of Ancestry's Privacy Statement to review or update your data sale preferences.
Now prominently displayed in the footer of the Privacy Statement for easier consumer access to data sale opt-out rights.
