Privacy

Delete your data.

Your family's history is yours. You can remove your account and everything in it from Genesis Gates, permanently — here's how.

last updated · July 19, 2026

Delete your whole account

Signed in, go to Dashboard → Settings → Danger zone → Delete account. This removes your account and everything tied to it — your trees, the people in them, photos, voice memories, events, and personal details. Deletion completes within 30 days.

Delete only some things

You don't have to delete everything. From inside the app you can remove a single person, a photo, a voice memory, or an entire tree at any time, and it's gone right away.

If you signed in with Facebook

You can disconnect Genesis Gates from your Facebook account in Facebook → Settings & Privacy → Settings → Apps and Websites. When you remove Genesis Gates there, Facebook notifies us automatically and we delete the data associated with your Facebook sign-in.

To delete the rest of your data, use the account steps above or email us — see below.

Request deletion by email

Prefer we handle it? Email privacy@genesisgates.com from the address on your account and ask us to delete your data. We verify it's really you, then erase everything within 30 days and confirm when it's done.

What stays

One exception: if you chose to seal a record to permanent public storage (Arweave/Base), that copy is intentionally permanent and cannot be unwritten — that's the whole point of sealing. Everything else is fully removed.
