Privacy<\/h3>\n
Currently,
\nanyone connected to you on Geni, whether a blood relative, an in-law,
\nan in-law of an in-law, and so on, can navigate to your part of the
\ntree. In the future, only your blood relatives and their inlaws, plus
\n(if you are married) your spouse\u2019s blood relatives and their inlaws,
\nwill be able to navigate to your part of the tree. As you might expect,
\nyour tree will still include everyone who is related to you by blood,
\nincluding all your ancestors and all of their descendants.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Your Blood Relative<\/strong> is anyone who shares a common ancestor with you.<\/li>\n
- Your Tree<\/strong> is all of your blood relatives and their partners.<\/li>\n
- Your Forest<\/strong> is your Tree, your spouse’s Tree, and
\nall of the Trees directly connected to your Tree (and your spouse\u2019s
\nTree) through a partner.<\/li>\n- You will only be able to navigate Trees in your Forest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Here are some diagrams that may help further explain these new tree
\nnavigation privacy rules. Please keep in mind that these are small
\ntrees for illustration only. Actual trees may be much taller and will
\ninclude many more navigable nodes. These trees are intentionally short
\nand wide to help illustrate the rules. The multicolored nodes represent
\nmarried couples, making them part of two Trees. Click on the images for
\nthe full size version.<\/p>\nLet’s say that this is a portion of your tree on Geni:<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i234.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee318\/geniteam\/Screenshots\/diagram.gif\")
<\/a><\/p>\nYou will be able to navigate every node in this tree except for the
\nthree solid purple nodes in the top right. These nodes represent your
\nspouse’s in-law’s in-laws. Every other node will still be navigable.
\nThis is indicated by the following diagram:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i234.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee318\/geniteam\/Screenshots\/diagram_me.gif\")
\n<\/a><\/p>\nNow let’s see how this will affect other users in your tree. Let’s
\nsay one of the solid blue nodes has joined the tree. What part of the
\ntree will they be able to navigate? All of the colored nodes in this
\ndiagram:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i234.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee318\/geniteam\/Screenshots\/diagram_blue.gif\")
<\/a><\/p>\nNow let’s look at one of the nodes closer to the edge. Here is the
\nportion of the tree that a person represented by a solid green node
\nwill be able to navigate:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/i234.photobucket.com\/albums\/ee318\/geniteam\/Screenshots\/diagram_green.gif\")
\n<\/a><\/p>\nAgain, please keep in mind that this only shows a portion of a small
\ntree as an example. If the tree extended further to the right, the
\ngreen nodes would be able to see even further along those branches. All
\nof these same rules would apply to all of the ancestors of these nodes
\nas well.<\/p>\nHopefully this helps illustrate the following: You may be interested
\nin people in the yellow tree and people in the green tree, but these
\npeople are not very likely to be interested in each other. In fact the
\noverwhelming feedback we have received is that there is a limited
\ncircle of interest, and this relationship would fall outside of that
\ncircle for the vast majority of users. I really hope this helps
\nillustrate better what affect this change will have, in any, on your
\ntree.<\/p>\nWe have discussed all of the great feedback
\nto our planned changes to Tree Navigation Privacy, and we have a new
\nplan that I believe addresses many of your concerns:<\/p>\n- \n
- Your infinite tree will remain completely navigable without restriction.<\/li>\n
- The following nodes and profiles will appear and act just as they do now, regardless of where they appear in the infinite tree:\n
- \n
- Nodes within your Forest (as previously described)<\/li>\n
- Nodes of your Family and Friends<\/li>\n
- Nodes you have added<\/li>\n
- Node of the person who added you to the tree<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- You can choose (opt-in) to make your node, or any node you have added, viewable by anyone. This will mean:\n
- \n
- Your node will appear as it does now to anyone in your infinite tree<\/li>\n
- When anyone outside of your Forest clicks on your node they will view your public profile<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- All other nodes will:\n
- \n
- Display First Name and Last Initial only<\/li>\n
- Include ‘Invite to Family’, ‘Invite to Friends’ and ‘Send Message’ actions (as applicable)<\/li>\n
- Not link to the associated profile<\/li>\n
- Include a visual indication for easy identification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- A new privacy setting gives you control over who can add new nodes onto the nodes you manage<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
We believe that this will preserve the infinitely navigable tree,
\nwhile preserving each user’s control over their own privacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To help you navigate around your tree we have introduced some new terms.
