Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 26, 2026
Shajara Nama exists to preserve family history while protecting the people in it. This policy explains what information we collect, how it's classified, who can see it, and how it's kept secure.
Three levels of visibility
Every piece of information in a family profile falls into one of three levels, so history stays accessible while living members stay protected.
Public
- Full name and profile photo
- Parent, spouse, and children names
- Birth year and death year
- Family branch and biography
- Family tree structure
- Approved historical photos
Family-Only
- Current country and city
- Education and occupation details
- Recent family photos
- Contact preferences
- Family announcements and event attendance
Private
- Exact home address and phone numbers
- National ID and passport numbers
- GPS coordinates
- Medical information
- Private notes and login history
How we protect your data
- Passwords are encrypted using industry-standard hashing (bcrypt/Argon2).
- All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS.
- Sensitive data at rest is encrypted in our database.
- Every change to a profile is logged with an audit trail.
- Deleted records are recoverable for 90 days before permanent removal.
- Regular automated backups protect against data loss.
Your rights
Living family members can request access to, correction of, or deletion of their personal information at any time by contacting a family administrator or reaching out through our contact form.
