  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.

  Ancestry removed a reference to 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' from the footer links in their privacy statement as of May 1, 2026. This link previously connected users to a page addressing California consumer privacy rights under the CCPA. The removal of this link may make it harder for California residents to access that specific privacy right, though the underlying legal right itself is not affected by this document change.
