Last updated: February 16, 2025

Who We Are

We operate the website at divinitus.org. Our site provides genealogical services and resources to help people explore and document their family history with videography services.

Information Collection and Use

Account and Profile Information

When you use our services, we collect information necessary to provide you with genealogical resources and community features. This includes basic information such as your name and email address when you create an account or leave comments. For genealogical purposes, we store the family history information you choose to share, including family trees and historical records.

Comments and User Content

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media and Uploads

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. We store your genealogical documents and photos securely while providing appropriate access controls based on your sharing preferences.

Cookies

When you visit our site, WordPress sets certain cookies to help manage your session and preferences. If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. When you log in, WordPress sets cookies to store your login information and your screen display choices. If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded Content

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles) from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website directly. These websites may collect data about you, use their own cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to their website.

How We Protect and Share Your Data

We take the protection of your genealogical information seriously. Your personal data and family history information are stored securely, and we use industry-standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who help us operate our website
• When required by law or to respond to legal process
• To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
• As part of a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

You have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post any changes on this page and encourage you to review our privacy policy whenever you access our services.
