Privacy notice

This notice explains what this website collects and how the Rowe & Nibley family stories project will handle what relatives share. It is a draft and is being reviewed.

What this site collects today

Nothing. There are no forms, no accounts, no cookies, and no analytics or tracking. Fonts are served from this site, so your browser doesn’t contact other companies when you visit.

Like any website, our host (Vercel) processes basic technical information, such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the pages and protect the site from abuse. We don’t use that information to identify visitors.

When sharing opens

Later, relatives will be able to send photos, stories and family connections through a short form. Submissions will be sent privately by email to David Rowe, the family historian, and passed to our family researcher, who checks and files them. We will update this notice before sharing opens, including which email service delivers submissions.

How shared material may be used

Approved material may appear in the family history book Rowe & Nibley (print and ebook) and, only with approval, on this website. You will keep the rights to your photos and choose how you are credited: by name, by initials, or not at all.

Living people

Nothing that identifies living people is published. Living relatives appear only as “Living.”

Never published

DNA match details
Images of records

Changing your mind

Once sharing opens, you will be able to ask for anything you sent to be withdrawn at any time before the book is printed.
