Specialized Use Policy

The Service is designed primarily for personal genealogical research and family history purposes. To ensure appropriate service delivery and privacy protections, we provide the following guidelines:

​

a) Personal Use and Professional Genealogists:

• The standard consumer version of the Service is designed for individual users conducting personal genealogical research.

• All individuals, regardless of their profession or affiliation, are welcome to use the standard consumer version for their own personal genealogical research.

• Professional genealogists may use the standard consumer version to support their clients who are conducting personal genealogical research.

​

b) Examples of Personal Genealogical Research:

• Tracing family lineage and ancestry

• Building family trees

• Discovering family connections and relationships

• Researching historical records related to family members

• Learning about cultural and historical context of ancestors

• Identifying genetic relationships through DNA matching for family history purposes

• Other genealogical research activities not specifically limited by Section 14.1(c)

​

c) Professional Use Limitations: The standard consumer version of the Service is not designed or optimized for certain professional activities unrelated to personal genealogical research, including but not limited to:

• Criminal investigations or formal intelligence gathering

• Official background checks or vetting processes

• Systematic surveillance activities

• Formal evidence collection for legal proceedings

• Immigration or border enforcement screening

• National security operations

• Activities conducted by individuals working under the direction of, contracted by, or affiliated with law enforcement or intelligence agencies for purposes of developing information for those agencies

• Any systematic activity where the primary purpose is to generate information for law enforcement or government agencies rather than personal genealogical research

​

d) Representation and Anti-Circumvention: Users agree that:

• They will use the Service in accordance with these guidelines

• They will not use the standard consumer version for professional activities it is not designed to support

• They will not act as intermediaries to circumvent these limitations by conducting research that would ultimately be used for any of the restricted purposes listed in Section 14.1(c)

​

e) Incidental Discoveries and Civic Duty: This policy distinguishes between two scenarios:

1. Prohibited Use: Using the Service with the primary purpose of systematically gathering information for military, law enforcement or intelligence agencies, whether as a paid informant, contractor, or in any other capacity where the user is acting at the direction of such agencies.

2. Permitted Use: A user who, during the course of legitimate personal genealogical research, incidentally discovers information related to potential crimes or threats to public safety and chooses to report such information.

​

Nothing in this policy prohibits or discourages users from fulfilling their civic and legal obligations regarding information they genuinely discover through legitimate personal genealogical research.

For users who require genealogical research capabilities for professional or institutional purposes, AIGroup Innovations LLC offers enhanced solutions with:

​

We aim to enforce this policy in a fair and non-discriminatory manner, focusing on patterns of misuse rather than user identity or affiliation.

​AIGroup Innovations LLC will comply with all valid legal processes, including warrants, subpoenas, court orders, or other lawful requests for information issued by appropriate authorities. We will respond to such requests in accordance with applicable laws while making reasonable efforts to protect user privacy to the extent permitted by law
