Ancestry removed a link to 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' from the footer of their Terms and Conditions page on June 2, 2026. The link previously appeared alongside privacy-related links such as 'CCPA Notice at Collection' and 'Consumer Health Privacy'. The operational effect is that users can no longer access this disclosure page directly from the terms footer, though the underlying policy or mechanism may still exist elsewhere on the site.
Ancestry removed a hyperlink to 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' from the footer navigation of their Terms and Conditions page. This disclosure mechanism, which is typically required under California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations, is no longer directly accessible from the main terms document. The underlying policy or right may still exist on Ancestry's website, but users must now find it through alternate navigation paths rather than through the footer link.
