You can hide all of that at AncestryIn *addition* you can even hide your email address at Ancestry, while FTDNA has it displayed publicly to your matches -----Original Message----- From: Lindsey Britton via GENEALOGY-DNA <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> To: genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Cc: Lindsey Britton <lplantagenet@aol.com> Sent: Thu, Nov 22, 2018 2:51 pm Subject: [DNA] Privacy at Ancestry If I buy test kits at Ancestry and have them sent to my address, how do I protect my privacy?  How much control  will I have over the information my matches can see?   At FTDNA we can withhold our names, addresses, and ethnic information if we wish--none of which is needed to identify a relationship.  How much can we withhold at Ancestry?  The only information I share at FTDNA is a list of ancestral surnames and locations.  Lindsey _______________________________________________ Email preferences: http://bit.ly/rootswebpref Unsubscribe https://lists.rootsweb.com/postorius/lists/genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com Privacy Statement: https://ancstry.me/2JWBOdY Terms and Conditions: https://ancstry.me/2HDBym9 Rootsweb Blog: http://rootsweb.blog RootsWeb is funded and supported by Ancestry.com and our loyal RootsWeb community
