Privacy Policy

Xidid values your privacy. We are committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring you maintain control over how your data is shared.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to build and verify your lineage connections and secure your account access:

• Account Details: Email address, mobile number, and password hash.
• Lineage Profile: Full name, date of birth, gender, clan, sub-clan, family branch, and abtirsi names (father, grandfather).
• Media: Uploaded profile pictures and oral history audio records.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used solely to provide and improve our genealogical and community services:

• To construct and search the collective lineage database.
• To match family nodes and detect overlapping branches using our confidence engine.
• To process transcription of uploaded oral testimonies.
• To administer community scope activities (e.g. transparent fund campaigns, meetings, and voting).

3. Data Sharing & Visibility Control

You have granular control over the visibility of your biography and current location via the Account Settings panel. Lineage links, representing relationships, are shared nodes visible to relatives and elders who verify the branches. We will never sell your personal data or share it with third-party advertisers.

4. Security

We implement industry-standard encryption and secure token-based sessions. Lineage information is protected by our decentralized authorization scopes, ensuring only validated members of relevant scopes can view or interact with sensitive community data.
